I think this is something I can get behind! See y’all at the polls.

A stop to the enforcement of low-level ma*****na offenses and the end of “no knock” warrants will be on Austin’s May ballot.

Local prosecuting authorities have recognized and reacted to the new law, but as explained in the article the Texas Farm Bill has potentially farther reaching affects.

Here is the CBS segment that aired today discussing House Bill 81 with David Bass, a veteran who fears arrest for self medicating, and myself, discussing how a civil fine for possession is a move in the right direction towards legalizing ma*****na.

Some law enforcement officials joined House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee Chairman Joe Moody, (D-El Paso), at the State Capitol Thursday to show support for a bill that would reduce penalties for low-level ma*****na possession.HB 81 would replace the th

I was just interviewed by CBS for 6 o'clock news tonight to discuss House Bill 81, which would decriminalize ma*****na possession under an ounce in Texas, and practical implications of such a law on the criminal courts, law enforcement, and the citizens of Texas. Other bills are being introduced and the article below outlines some of them...

A handful of new states legalized ma*****na on Election Day, so could Texas be next?

About time...the law has been on the books for a while and Travis County was the only county regularly doing cite and release for possession of ma*****na. It saves families money, saves the county money, protects police, and keeps police on the streets policing. Good on you Wilco!

As part of the cite and release program, if you’re caught with an invalid license or ma*****na under two ounces, you won’t automatically be sent to jail.

From cotton gin to ma*****na dispensary, it could be the first in Texas...

It's been called the "green rush." As ma*****na laws relax across the country, dispensaries are popping up to cash in on the new industry.

This is interesting to follow and important for those cases to be affected; however, in Austin if a person has two prior DWI convictions the arresting officer will apply for a blood search warrant to draw the arrestee's blood.

http://m.statesman.com/news/news/blood-evidence-off-limits-in-travis-county-dwi-cas/nrcZS/

Travis County cannot use evidence of intoxication in DWI cases, all involving drivers with at least two prior DWI convictions, that had been thrown out because blood was drawn without a search warrant, the state’s highest criminal court said Wednesday.
