Terry Keel in runoff for Texas Court of Criminal Appeals

Terry Keel, the author of HB823 (car carry without CHL) is in a runoff against Judge Holcomb for a place on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Chairman Keel has earned our support and I respectfully request that you vote for Chairman Keel and encourage your family and friends to do likewise.

The runoff election will be on April 11th and this is the only state-wide race on the ballot.

Here is an interesting fact Judge Holcomb doesn't want people to know. Holcomb reaches the mandatory retirement age of 75 in August of 2008, thus his office would be declared vacant at that time, by virtue of the Texas Constitution. In other words, he would be removed from office by operation of law about a year and a half into the six year term, if elected. The Governor would have to appoint the replacement, who would then have to run for an unexpired term in the next election cycle.

Regards,
Chas.
