me to him
Subject: Political questions District Judge.
I live in Burnet, Registered voter and homeowner, retired from working at a law firm over 25 years as a legal Assistant and was accepted to law school, but haven't gone yet. I had planned to go testify before a committee in the Legislature today, but submitted written testimony instead.
Anyway, I know Donna has done wonderful things for our area and noticed you are running for District Judge.
I just had a couple of questions.
How do you feel about:
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... m/PE.1.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Texas Penal Code Sec. 1.08. PREEMPTION. No governmental subdivision or agency may enact or enforce a law that makes any conduct covered by this code an offense subject to a criminal penalty. This section shall apply only as long as the law governing the conduct proscribed by this code is legally enforceable.
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... LG.229.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Local Government Code 229.001, which specifically denies cities the right to regulate Concealed Handgun Licensees while granting cities the right to regulate some use of arms by unlicensed individuals,
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... .htm#30.06" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Texas PC 30.06 (e) It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a handgun is owned or leased by a governmental entity and is not a premises or other place on which the license holder is prohibited from carrying the handgun under Section 46.03 or 46.035.
(Since a "good faith" arrest can NOT be made for anything which is NOT illegal, I hope the officers, sheriffs, Constables are aware of the above, and trained/informed accordingly, so the Governments don't waste money due to a Federal §1983 civil rights lawsuit.)
Just wondering about your thoughts on that so I can let my fellow concealed handgun license holder friends here in the Burnet/Marble Falls and surrounding area know how to vote.

his reply:
Sorry for the late response.
But I grew up hunting in Texas and have a concealed handgun permit (so does Donna). My only issue is that we are required to get a permit to do what I feel we have a constitutional right to do. But the law is the law.
This is a quick response. Let me know if you need anything further.
I would appreciate you letting me know any thoughts on my campaign.

Me to him
no problem thanks for the info, I didn't get to check e-mail until late due to House Bill 750 (passed 5 to 3 out of committee to go to the calendar)
You have supporters in everyone I know then.

2 birds 1 stone
making sure he knows that info due to some odd signage here on a Tax office not in a courthouse, and criminal prosecutors who don't know law here and got info too
