(Patrick didn't take too kindly to the lecture and stood his ground but out of respect for the Senate he pulled it down.) I suspect that's why Birdwell didn't even bother to bring HB 972 for a vote. Expect fireworks next week.
HB 1349 controversial??
HB 1349 (Larson, R): Relating to information that may be requested by the Department of Public Safety from a person applying for or renewing a concealed handgun license.
Impact: Prohibits the Tex. Dept. of Public Safety from requiring the disclosure of an applicant for a Texas Concealed Handgun License to provide their social security number.
