In January 2013, prosecutors in Missouri petitioned the Supreme Court to allow them obtain blood samples from drunk drivers without a warrant. The judges were at initial stages never enthusiastic (Liptak, 2013)
In most cases, they will not value the aspect of educating their children. This translates its effects on the nature of low wages in the Texas education and social systems (Gonzales, Manuel 123)
workforce. Of the immigrant population, 76% comprise of the Latino, with a high percentage from the Mexico (59%) (LeMay and Michael 98)
The high enrollment of the illegal immigrants in Texas' schools will result in increased economic activity. This arises from the increased consumption of educational materials such as books and back to school shopping hence, Texas economic growth (Maxwell, Ernest, and Adolfo 158)
Their contribution to Texas economy creates millions of jobs to the Texas population. A study conducted by the Texas State Comptroller found that, immigrants in Texas contributed to approximately $18 billion to the Texas economy (So-derlind, Sylvia, and James 225)
Texas courts have two levels: local and state. Article 5 of the State's Constitution lays out the judiciary structure, and further definition can be found in the Texas Probate Code and Texas Government Code (Bessette, et al
That is something found in only Texas and Oklahoma. The most active courts are Municipal Courts, with District and County Courts handling a large number of cases, as well (Maxwell, Crain, & Santos, 55)
Even though these laws are rarely invoked, there is need to enact legislations that allow same-sex unions or marriages, especially gay marriages. The new bill would seek to legalize gay marriage in Texas despite of the constitutional amendment that was enacted a decade ago prohibiting same-sex marriages (Fikac par,1)
The difficulties originate from the fact that Texas is relatively more conservative than the rest of the United States and would not easily change the conventional view of marriage as a union between people of opposite sexes. In addition to the conservative nature of Texas, the enactment of the bill would also be affected by recent attempts by a Texan congressman to safeguard the rights of states to regulate marriage (Johnson par, 1)
Information "An information is a written statement presented in behalf of the state by the prosecutor, charging the defendant with the commission of an offense. An information must be based on a proper complaint and the complaint must be filed with the information" (White, N
Texas Judges Selection Process and Qualifications In the words of Maxwell, Crain, and Santos, "Texas elects its judges (except municipal court judges) in partisan elections" (286). In theory, therefore, the selection of judges in Texas does not differ significantly from presidential and congress elections (Streb 7)
The issue of states' rights originates with the debate of slavery. Runaway slaves would escape the south and head to northern states where they would be deemed free, however, Southern states argued that they were still slaves and wanted a return of their property (Baum 1998)
When the legislature convened to vote on the matter of secession only one voted no, James Webb Throckmorton. It is interesting to note, that while Throckmorton opposed secession he still served his state and rose to the rank of brigadier-general in the Confederate army (Buenger 1984)
When Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna became dictator of Mexico in 1835, he asked his military personnel to take away guns from Texans, and that policy is what provoked Texans in Gonzales to resist and to in fact kick off the Texas Revolution. Actually, the citizens of Gonzalez had a cannon which they had used to fight off Indian attacks, and the Mexican troops had tried to take that cannon back and when the citizens not only refused to allow that cannon to be confiscated, they arrested Santa Anna's soldiers -- and that was the spark that set off the revolution (Minster, 2010)
Thus, possessing a sound moral character is hardly something that the Texas Uniform CPA Board takes lightly. Another requirement of taking the exam or even applying to take the exam is that one needs to have a BA or higher degree from a college or university in the United States which is board recognized (Sebastian, 2006)
Furthermore, the more power that a CPA has means the more potential to abuse that power. People with an aggrandized sense of power are more overconfident -- but not in a good way (Zeune, 2012)
TDI works to make Texas a place where industry will want to do business. TDI works to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Texas from fire and fire-related hazards (Texas Department Of Insurance, Fiscal Years 2003-2007 Workforce Plan)
However, the mayor of Dallas, Laura Miller, has made it clear that she dreams of a smoke-free world, and that she hopes Dallas is a model city on that path. The mayor feels that the restrictions being imposed by the ban are not enough, and that second hand smoke will still be permitted to infiltrate the lungs of unsuspecting citizens (McFadden)
In addition to the Dallas area restaurants, there are others who do not share the mayor's vision of a smoke free world. One group, the Dallas Democracy Project, has been petitioning voters to amend the ban (Savona)
It is evident that lower pay has made the legislators depend on other sources of income in order to sustain themselves, their families, and make up for their campaigning expenditure (Texas Politics, chapter 5). In fact, this could explain the reason as to why they engage in lobbying for other jobs contrary to the provision of the constitution that requires them to be dedicated only to their legislative duties (Kraemer, Charldean, and Prindle 34)
