"...Has anyone heard about this? Any progress?<br /><br />"Flash traffic. Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas has accepted the case and<br />will consider my motion. Writ No. WR-76,215-01. I ask all interested Tx lic<br />attys, law professors, civil rights groups, etc to file their friend of the court<br />briefs in support of relators motion to declare ch 708 of tx trans code<br />unconstitutional. We got the Tx high court's attention now. Help me shut<br />this ch 708 down, make the state refund every dollar with interest and<br />reinstate all DLs suspended under ch 708. We don't need congress to<br />repeal and wait for any federal court to intervene. This motion before a<br />Texas high court to review a Texas statute. Its perfect."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-89965717981664228362011-08-14T17:53:16.770-05:002011-08-14T17:53:16.770-05:003:30/1:54, if you want to discuss a Texas Tribune ...3:30/1:54, if you want to discuss a Texas Tribune story, go to their site.

Is the Legislature SO sold out to the special interests involving insurance, etc., and/or they're such control freaks there's no way they'll admit their tax/fee/fine-to-death plans are abusively idiotic? I guess they can afford it, and afford insurance; and after all, Gov. Rick "Rod the Blog" would just shout at the cop, as when Lt.Gov (2002).<br /> You made a good point about will they have the manpower, but they're already contracting outside for company to collect the fine, so won't it be like red-light camera and just keep growing MORE people on the gov dole that have the conflict of interest to WANT to fine travelers??<br /> But there were already "indigent" issues, and how will it be used against people?? Are they volunteering to have themselves declared legally incompetent? I'd hesitate to change my citizen status or anything that might covertly waive Rights. I guess I'm just too paranoid to trust the courts. (Let alone the "Reps.") This is a sad state of State affairs.<br /> Look government bosses, if you don't want me to be able to afford to drive to work, put in some buses or trains.<br /> Signed, your humble loathsome peasant citizen traveler.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808884177035705472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-25918872624969230872011-08-14T13:54:21.507-05:002011-08-14T13:54:21.507-05:00As reported in the Texas Tribune, the most troubli...As reported in the Texas Tribune, the most troubling news is this:<br /><br />A controversial rule enacted in 2008 by the Department of Public Saftey mandating that applicants for driver's licenses and IDs furnish proof of legal status becomes a state law.<br /><br />It’s been a controversial rule since 2008, but come Sept. 1, it will finally be written into law: Texans who apply for a state ID or a driver’s license must prove they are in the country lawfully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
