Clear as mud. The definition of militia in this code doesn't sound like the type of militia where a bunch of folks get together on a ranch with cammos, guns and camping gear and name themselves...Texas Militia or Harris county militia...or whatever.
I need a bit more clarification. Any lawyer types out there that can explain this?
I’m not sure how the militia is supposed to be organized, I know its has be under State law, but under several different statues it is considered a separate entity from the Texas State Guard which is itself a separate entity from the Texas National Guard. Which is important because Bush put all the National Guard units under the command of the President, removing the Governors as the ultimate authority.
