Re: Grand Prarie - When the police show up at the wrong house

I had an armed officer mistakenly enter my house several years ago. (Wife failed to lock the door to the side yard... don't get me started)

At one point, I ...

Not gun related, but we need a little levity I think.

Judge rejects state terrorism charge.


To be fair, that crime wasn't "terrorism"... Hard for me to argue with dropping that particular charge.

Re: Texas GLO purchases Menger and Crockett Hotels

It's law in TX that hotels cannot prohibit guests from carrying to and from their rooms.
Other common areas can be off limits.

According to her surgeon she will be able to resume normal activities, including her Basketball and Volleyball after her sternum is healed.

Re: Tired of Cornyn?

As much as I want Cornyn gone, Paxton comes with his own baggage, rightly or wrongly...

I expect Paxton will be more vulnerable on election day vs whatever Dem gets their nomination.

Re: 2025 TX Legislative Session



So... no "state fair" fix. Very disappointing.


If only all Texas LTC holders would boycott the State Fair and encourage everyone they know to do so, perhaps lost revenue will persuade the fair.

I suspect all the hoopla last year didn't translate into enough legislators actually caring about ...
