Legislative Update

And this is just a very few from the first day of Pre-filing Bills

SB 25 Zaffirini ROAD BLOCK BILL
This is the same Bill as last session. Sound good Bill but doesn't detail how the Supreme Court has ruled that a stop at a checkpoint constitutes a form of arrest or detainment and no further cause is needed to institute search of vehicle and or person.

SJR 6 CARONA RECORD VOTE
Only requires vote on final passage not on amendments or in committees . Not acceptable as written, must include amendments to know if legislator supports Bill but not amendments.

HB 15 CORTE LIABILITY FOR INJURY
Can not receive Exemplary damages in lawsuit stemming from traffic accident if injured party is intoxicated or operating vehicle while breaking any traffic law. Bad enough as stand alone on intoxication but really bad with second part. That could mean no inspection sticker, no proof of insurance, not wearing helmet without proper requirements or even wearing a helmet that is not approved by TxDPS.

Have I done that which I can do to the best of my ability?

HELL NO !! - but I'm trying.
