Texas attorney general dines with 8-year-old transgender boy

“I will vigilantly protect and preserve the Second Amendment rights of Texans”. In January, Paxton also announced a new unit in the attorney general’s office dedicated to combating human trafficking.

O’Connor also ruled that a temporary injunction was appropriate in the multistate case, one of two that are now before federal courts. The attorney general said in a statement, “A local government can not be allowed to flout Texas’s licensed carry laws. simply because it disagrees with the law or doesn’t feel like honoring it”. Paxton’s lawsuit contends that county treasurers’ offices and county elections’ offices do not qualify as offices utilized by a government court.

State law permits local authorities to ban guns from government buildings like courts and court offices, but the lawsuit argues the exemption does not apply to the Waller County courthouse because it also has non-judicial county offices. He is intentionally dividing America by threatening to sue or withhold funding from our cash-strapped public schools if they do not agree with his personal opinion on policies that remain squarely in their jurisdiction. The SEC lawsuit, they also say, does not claim he made any false or misleading statements to potential investors in Servergy, a technology startup at the center of both cases. “I don’t know how we get there”, Mazzant said at one point. Absolutely the right way to handle it. Holcomb said, “Waller County has behaved like criminals and it is fitting that the AG is going to take them to task for their criminal behavior”. Last month, the county sued the person who filed the complaint that led to Paxton’s action.

And the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals says Nevada isn’t violating the Second Amendment by stopping gun sales to people with medical marijuana cards.

It appears Waller County will be a test case of a law passed previous year that forbids state and local officials from posting signs restricting the concealed carrying of handguns by lawful permit holders.

Since March, Paxton’s office has sent 18 letters to cities and counties after people complained about signs that banned handguns from premises or buildings. The measure toughened a 2003 law that said gun license holders can carry at most property “owned or leased by a governmental entity”. Citizens should contact the attorney general’s office if the local entity doesn’t resolve the violation within three days, the note says.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, along with 12 other states, filed a brief on Wednesday asking a federal judge to put holds on lawsuits over North Carolina’s anti-LGBT law, known as HB2, until other lawsuits over transgender bathroom use have been decided, Buzzfeed News reported.
