Mr. Martin's proposal was" based on recent opinions handed down by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton".

However Mr. Oakes and others unnamed appear to have chose to ignore the recommendations.

OC and CC proponents are now being pitted against each other as the CC proponents are now blaming the OC proponents of getting CC banned as well as a result of OC passing in Texas. and now we have small county commissioners able to circumvent the government of Texas and ignore the law as it was intended. Lets keep all those finger printed, investigated, trained, permit holders in check, after all safety supersedes lawsuit risk??????????????? I am beyond upset- in Texas! Let them not divide us. The law has passed OC and CC are here. No point in dewelling on how we got here. Lets just continue to work to make it better. I hope someone files al law suit against Freestone County and Mr. Oakes gets to defend his quote as stated in the public newspaper.
