Chas.

Not just that, Charles, but what should NOT pass as well. For example, they are expecting an intense effort to disallow the big, ugly 06/07 signs and move to red-slash gunbuster signs, or something anybody can print out on a sheet of paper, with the full support of the Texas Association of Business. Its not like we can sit back and put our feet up.

According to a conversation I had with legislative staff, the concept of private property rights is the overwhelming, dominant factor in opposition to removing any business owner's right to post signage. It's not going to happen, as much as we would like it to.

If there are any amongst us that don't think CC can work in Texas, please show me examples of how this has been a problem in other states that have it, and then as a follow up explain why Texans aren't as good of people as the residents of those states.

That's irrelevant. It's not a question of whether or not CC can "work in Texas" or it's a "problem in other states," etc. It's a question of whether or not it would be passed by the legislature. And it wouldn't. Period.
