Last Thursday at around noon, a 24-year-old Houston man identified as Fausto Cardenas was arrested by Texas State Troopers for firing a gun outside the Texas Capitol. The suspect was also seen inside trying to gain access to District 7 (Houston) State Senator Dan Patrick’s office a few minutes earlier. Senator Patrick’s office aide said Cardenas was acting strangely and denied him access. For over a year, Senator Dan Patrick has been advocating for the Texas National Guard to be placed on the border with Mexico to fight the drug cartels and illegal immigration.
