Having dinner with Mike Conaway tomorrow, he is visiting Afghanistan and I was invited to a 2 hour dinner, .. 12 constituents and him.

I plan to ask his position on Holder / Fast Furious.
And ask him to request an AG position memo on parking lot carry, reference a multi tenet building owner putting up 30.06 signs effecting employees of all tenants.

Anything else that is in a representatives lane / purview come to mind?

Please let us know how that goes. I'm all ears.

Do you want him to ask AG Holder or AG Abbott? Federal legislators are not on the list of people who can request a Texas AG official opinion. https://www.oag.state.tx.us/opin/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No sir, that is not what I said or intended. I would not profess to tell Mr Conaway how to do his job..
True, he cannot directly task the TX AG, that was not what I meant..But as my Rep, he can facilitate a request to the TX AG.
“ask him to request an AG position memo on parking lot carry, reference a multi tenet building owner putting up 30.06 signs effecting employees of all tenants.”
I intend to ask Mr Conaway to request an AG position memo, how he goes about that action is best left to him.. It may be a personal phone call to the TX AG (unofficial) it may be though some official request procedure, he may put an ad in the local paper I honestly do not know the specifics of how Mr Conaway would / will act upon my request, if he does at all. Im sure there are several options, what works best is really best left in his lane I think.

Good luck. Let us know if you get any results.

Not sure what results were tangible; But it was a pleasant dinner, and interesting conversation. I did not feel as if i was being played or pandered to. On some topics he discussed, there was a slight undertone of we have been trying and sales pitch SS, Medicare... Aout of the 12 there, I was the only one from his district, the oldest and most senior ranking, and seated face to face with him.. So it appeared I had the a majority of the direct conversations with him... Or he is just that good, and everyone felt that way... Talked a bit about budget, what is being done, has to be done, or will be done.
Holder was met with some deflection, and the requested to make a request for an AG opinion, set aside for a email conversation. Wanted more facts and had to have staff do some research before commitment. Which, is a better response then i thought i might get, or a no sense answer just to put me off.
