Too bad. Being under indictment, be interesting to know if The Gov has had to turn in his CHL?

Yes, he also cannot buy a gun from an FFL and giving him a gun or even a single bullet is a felony. All NFA xfers in progress are also denied.

I was aware that 411.187 specifically states "may be suspended..." so it is apparently not automatic? It would be interesting to know if it was done in this case, and who decided.

It is "Shall suspend"

Sec. 411.187. SUSPENSION OF LICENSE. (a) The department shall suspend a license under this section if the license holder:
(1) is charged with the commission of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor or equivalent offense, or of an offense under Section 42.01, Penal Code, or equivalent offense, or of a felony under an information or indictment;

Gay. What's he supposed to carry when he jogs? Is he gonna jog with body guards now? What about coyotes?

It is "Shall suspend"

Is that a recent change? IIRC, both revocation and suspension used to be "may" not "shall"?

If so, these guys need to update:

TEX GV. CODE ANN. § 411.187 : Texas Statutes - Section 411.187: SUSPENSION OF LICENSE

Never mind, looks like it was amended in 2009.

Thanks!

I don't drink and drive at all. Are you saying I could get a false positive with a B/A content of 0.00?

Absolutely. Diabetics with hypoglycemia can cause a false positive. Also, if not diabetic but trying to lose some weight a ketogenic diet which is a, high-fat, high-protein, low-carb diet can cause high levels of naturally occurring acetone which will cause it to read like you been drinking. Even Asthma Inhalers can cause you problems with that machine. Number of other items can make them think you have been drinking even when you are as sober as a church mouse.

WOW... good to know. I guess if I'm ever stopped and questioned I'll have to reveal my Parkinson's and demand a blood test.

Do constituents really matter anymore?

Rick Perry booking: governor may get mug shot taken Tuesday | www.statesman.com

Fox is showing live pictures from the CJ center there in Austin with him and his attorneys standing around. We should have a mug shot soon, LOL.

 

[Moonpie]

Me thinks Perry is going to own this.
EVERYBODY knows its bullshite.

Yes sir. My politics ignorant wife after I said they were basically prosecuting him for a veto, said "Isn't that what he's supposed to do?" I yelled across the house "They're Democrats and if you don't agree with them, they try to screw you. Thank's for waking up." Wasn't very nice but had no repercussions - so far.

LOL? Yeah trumped up charges from a drunk wasting all of our money is really funny

Notice even Wendy Davis is smart enough to stay away from this. Nothing indicates BS like the high level democrats either ignoring or denouncing this.

 

[Mike1234567]

Not to start a shit-storm but I'm trying to remain open-minded. Have there been any TX republican high-ranking politicians busted fir DUI during Perry's reign as governor? Were any of them asked to resign?

No DA's or heads of Integrity Units to the best of my knowledge.
