She ran in the special election to fill her mother's unexpired term, and was replaced in the regular election by Sylvester Turner. She is working as the campaign manager for one of the candidates to replace Turner.

This bill sets up a court case to do away with the NFA completely, thanks to the Senate Parliamentarian. The Byrd rule says that only things dealing with a tax or spending may be handled by reconciliation (this makes sense because you are trying to reconcile the budget). The original House passed ...

Also while this spectacle was going on the East Side of the Courthouse behind the scenes the Chief Deputy contacted TCOLE and they said he is NOT qualified as what a retired (LEO) LEOSA is. Thus he was denied entry with a firearm.


While I may not like him and may agree that he is not a retired ...

I was hoping I wasn't the only one still checking in on things.

The bad part that a great majority of Texans should be angry about is the fact that the representatives of the government of Texas are trying to suppress speech they don't agree with or hurts their little feelings.

Well, if it helps to understand it, a big part of the problem is that people aren ...

There is one other point to consider, especially as to why civilians are "significantly more effective than uniformed police at stopping potential mass shootings". The article does mention response time versus being on scene already, but it also needs to take into account that the motivation and ...

You can always claim self-defense, but that doesn't mean you will win. Penal Code section 9.31 says you can use force, but not deadly force in self-defense against the other person's use of force. If the story is correct that the other student pushed Karmelo first, he could have hit back or shoved ...

Thanks. Learned something new. It makes sense that the state does the check for the LTC, but I would think the search would include info from the federal level.

The Texas Crime Information Center (TCIC) computers and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) computers are programmed to work ...

As I said, Pam ...

By that logic, your house is a public place if it fronts on a street.

Hypothetical case: You are in your motor home. Let's say you park your RV in a post office parking lot (which is a public place). If you take a shower in your RV, are you committing public indecency by being nude in a public ...

I did not look at the videos or read the full ruling, but the logic seems clear to me that this is a correct decision.

Is a street a public place? In most cases, it would seem clear to me that it is (I know some streets are privately owned, but let's ignore them for a second). If I am walking down ...

There are many, many official state this or thats, but who can remember any more than a few? A few stand out the - Mockingbird, the Bluebonnet, the Armadillo; which is one of three official state animals. Who can name the other two off hand?

Interestingly, you named two (Mockingbird and Armadillo ...

The federal firearms act in its entirety.
The only constitutional part is probably the restriction against ownership by convicted felons, and states can legislate that on their own.


I disagree that the restricted person ban is constitutional either, especially not for non-felons.

But the ...

I’ve never really wanted anything full-auto, but a three round burst might be nice. I doubt I’ll see anything affordable in my lifetime.

I guess you don't agree with the old saying that happiness is belt-fed? I love full-auto for fun, but other than suppressive fire I would guess that the three ...

Any country that refuses to take back their citizens....strap a parachute on and drop them off over their home country.

I have a problem with this, a real problem. No, my problem is not concerning the deportation itself, just the methodology. Mexico refused to allow a planeload of deportees to ...
