You know what I enjoy? Emailing politicians and asking them to support my favorite pet causes. I can’t tell you how many marijuana reform emails I’ve sent Joe Barton (he’s not coming around on the issue at all). NORML, MPP, StopTheDrugWar.Org etc make it easy to contact your rep with…
Are there police in your neighborhood? Are you concerned about the rampant Constitutional violations that come from over zealous policing? How can you protect yourself from being a victim of unscrupulous law enforcement? Start by ordering “10 Rules for Dealing with the Police” from Flex Your Rights. This is a…

This past Wednesday was the final Kaufman County Bar meeting for 2009. What a difference a year makes. It was only twelve short months ago when a dozen lawyers met for what was only then 5th KCB meeting of the year and elected Tracy Booker, myself, Keena Greling, and Lisa…
I was quoted in DMN today for an article on the Dallas Constables allegedly selling raffle tickets to finance their campaigns. My entire contribution, soup to nuts, was Robert Guest, a local criminal defense lawyer, said he believes the state’s anti-gambling law prohibits elected officials from using raffles to raise…
In an era of swine flu you would think that drawing blood in a jail, which are usually full of staph and other nasty bugs, would be verboten. Unfortunately police departments across Texas are giving cops a crash course in needle work and setting them loose to prey on the…
“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right… to be confronted with the witnesses against him” 6th Amendment- US Constitution You know what I don’t use. A web cam. I’ve never installed one at my office or home. My macbook has one built in but it’s always off.…
