It would be an incredible shame in our supposedly conservative state, with a supposedly conservative AG, that we would have to add penalties for an AG not doing their job.

I predict right now that nothing happens and the rodeo powers that be do the exact same thing next year and ignore the law.

Re: Houston Livestock Show/Rodeo to Prohibit OC
Agreed. IF the AG takes this seriously enough to act on it, there is no real way for the rodeo committee to claim ignorance next year. TexasCajun, you have done us all a great service. What larger venue could be found to send the message down to the smaller operators and cities? While I am disappointed in the number of cases they seem to be acting on, this is potentially a huge one in terms of precedence.TexasCajun wrote:At this point everything is a win. If they take the signs down it's a win - not only for whatever remains of this year's event but for future events. If they don't take the signs down, it's still a win because we can go to the legislature next session with improvements to the law.anygunanywhere wrote:From the looks of things the resolution will be reached just in time to be able to carry after the rodeo is over. Perfect!joe817 wrote:FINALLY!! Great news TexasCajun! Your efforts paid off.TexasCajun wrote:I've received a copy of the letter that the AG's office has sent to Harris County Sports & Convention Corp & cc'd Harris Co Judge Ed Emmett. The letter says that OAG has received a complaint & is investigating it. They have 10 days to respond and/or provide any relevant information. The letter was sent from Zindia Thomas, Assistant Attorney General in the Administrative Law Division.
The system appears to be working, at least so far. Please keep us informed.
