Rep. George Lavender, Texarkana submitted this bill before and it was defeated. Gov. Perry said the last time that he would sign it if it lands on his desk. Lavender posted on Facebook this week that he is working on the bill and will submit it soon. Let's get behind this and get this passed, it is long overdue. Texas is only one of six states that does not have some form of OC. Start contacting your Tx Reps and Senators now and ask them to get behind this bill as soon as it is entered. I sent a message to my Senator and Rep today asking for their support. Just go to the Texas legislature website and you can determine who your reps and senators are and you can contact them via email.
