So when are other attorneys going to figure out this actually works? Glad to see progress and good work!
Unfortunately, the Texas legislature will most probably vote for a bill that promotes a statewide residential restriction ordinance. They had balked in the past because they didn’t think there would be resistance against the laws, but they were wrong.
I grew up in that area of Texas and can tell you that’s no real victory here. These are all small towns of less than 2000 people in the first place. Good on them, but I don’t see cause to celebrate until the larger cities to wake up and do the same.
I had the charge of Aggravated Sexual Assault, which I was strong armed into taking a deferred adjudicated probation on 02/28/1995 (charge from 03/12/1991). Texas never forced me to register, nor has no ever had the label “sex offender” on my driver’s license. I come to Louisiana to visit my mom & daughter, & am arrested and forced to “comply” with their state laws concerning “convicted &/or adjudicated” sex offenders. Of which, I am neither. I even have the original document from the very court that Louisiana has claimed I was convicted in stating: “This is not a conviction per Texas law.” I would like to know how another state, 20 years after the legal dismissal, can alter that ruling? Better yet, for a charge 25 years ago, outside this state’s jurisdiction? I need some clarification. PLEASE?!
