How does the deadly force law work in the case of national invasion?

Watch Perry start calling special sessions now to "fix" more problems we don't have.

Having the Texas legislature in session every two years for only 140 days is a wonderful thing. We should do the same at the federal level.

Allows Texans to defend themselves with deadly force in their homes, cars and workplaces.

The Castle Doctrine should be law in every state in the Union.

Very disappointing that the Voter ID didn’t pass. Politics as usual. The claim that is makes it too difficult for some to vote is a bunch of bull. Anyone that wants to vote should have to show more than a registration card. I think you can get those out of a Cracker Jacks box.

Worse. It's motor-voter which means to get a voter regestration card by answering one question when you go get your license.

Guess what you need here in Texas for ID to get a Drivers license? I personally SAW illegal alien kids in high school get ID approval at a DPS station by showing their REPORT CARDS. Guess what Texas schools can not do? Check "immigration" status.

So what you have is a reference from one government agency (publik skoolz) that is not allowed to ask about the illegals "status" to another government agency (Texas Department of public "Safety") that is accepting the first agency o-key doh-key that this person that can't speak a lick of English is a citizen that grew up here in Dallas, Texas, so they can vote.

The result is you have voter regestration cards floating around in mailboxes that are sent like a postcard, no envelope. Grab one, hop on internet and pull up the spanish version of http://www.dalcoelections.org/ check the map and go vote. No ID required.

Right...

Can’t speak for others, but I’ll tell you how mine works. You depress this little lever here, then you rack ‘er back and forward to load a shell into the chamber. Point at the target and pull the trigger.

The laws of physics take over from there.

actually castle doctrine is common law in ALL the states, it is just that lawyers have been attacking it via CIVIL claims on home owner’s insurance.

This statutory codification is to defang the tort lawyers. This is TRUE tort reform.

That depends on how it is written and how it is defended if challenged. If graduated restrictions on driving based on age and education requirements are acceptable (16 y/o vs 18 y/o for example), then renewals for licenses based on other criteria such as passing a vision test could successfully be argued.

You said it. I live in the Panhandle and you would think it was downtown Mexico City here. Once these people realize that there is nothing to keep them from voting then it will be over here. We are at about 80% in the elementary schools and 70% or so in the high school. How long is it going to be before they finally figure it out. There is a bigger celebration here for Cinco de Mayo than for Quatro de Julio, oops I meant to say Fourth of July. See what is happening already!!!!!
