Commentary may have mentioned before that years ago I was held up at gunpoint in a parking lot in H-Town as I was leaving a disco nightclub. A gun was put in my face as I was getting into my car. I won’t get into the details as to what ensued, but I thought I…

Yesterday’s Chron front page in one word: powerful. Thank you, Houston Chronicle. _____ State Sen. Carol Alvarado, Chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus and her fellow Caucus members in a letter asked the worthless Gov. Greg Abbott to call a special session to deal with gun violence.

If you are an activist Democrat from Harris County and were celebrating when Kim Ogg won her election for District Attorney in November of 2016 and reelection in 2020 and celebrating when Lina Hidalgo won the County Judge’s office in November of 2018, the last thing you thought you would see on May 20, 2022,…

Commentary reported to jury service yesterday morning at the Harris County Jury Assembly Room. I drove to Moody Park, parked, hopped on the Red Line, got off on Preston and walked a couple of blocks. The email said we would be required to wear a face covering while we were there. They had folks handing…
