< The hyenas in the gallery should every single one be arrested:
42.05. DISRUPTING MEETING OR PROCESSION. (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to prevent or disrupt a lawful meeting,... >

Is that from the Texas Statutes? In the Legislative section? Somehow I can’t see that applying to the the TX legislative gallery rules of decorum.

The Lege’s gallery makes the lawmakers conduct their business in public instead of all the “behind closed doors” crap that happens in D.C. And besides, you can’t beat it for entertainment value.

Raucous and rowdy; the reason we like to call them “The Lege!”

Yes, that’s from the Texas Penal Code. And, no, there is NO exception for state legislative business. Free speech does NOT include disrupting the legislative session.
