Re: Anti-gun Dem appointed??

But yes, he has been appointed speaker pro tempore. https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/politics/texlege/2025/02/18/el-paso-lawmakers-assigned-committees-joe-moody-named-speaker-pro-tempore-of-texas-house/78619988...

Re: My US House Rep Sylvia Garcia sends helpful hint for illegal aliens

My US House Representative Sylvia Garcia sent me an email full of helpful hints for illegal aliens to thwart BP and ICE efforts.

Re: Caldwell county new gun law

any dividing of a property constitutes a subdivision. So if I hack 8 acres off my 100 to gift to my kid that is a subdivision of property, a plat must be done, and the rules apply. I'm not so sure. Need a cite on that "any dividing of a property..." idea. Sec. 232.001. PLAT REQUIRED. (a) ...

Re: NRA Annual Meeting 2024 in Dallas

Last time it was in Dallas, I carried both on DART and at the KBH Convention Center no issue. IIRC, when then President Trump spoke, again IIRC, carry was not allowed in the place where he was speaking as that was Secret Service controlled, but the rest of the site was OK. That is correct, along wi...
