I would suggest Mr. Moore learn the rules of Voting in Texas. For your information (FYI) if you are a citizen of the United States and reside in Texas you have a right to vote. However, first you must register to vote in the county where you reside. You must have a valid identification (i.e., Texas driver’s license, Passport, concealed Weapon ID, Texas Identification card). Afterward you are legally registered and vote in any election. If you change your address you must again supply the voter registrar with your new address so you can continue to be properly registered.

Last week the misinformation was so blatant that the column would have received an “F” as a high school social studies paper defining socialism.

Both the United States and Texas constitutions embraced a justice system where all persons could address grievances and those accused of crimes could be tried by a jury of their peers. The freedoms we enjoy only exist through each of us embracing our responsibility and sacrificing a few hours of time as jurors. Without you, our justice system does not work. Without you, there is not a venue to address our grievances. Without you, there is not a legal check on the legislative and executive branches of government. Without you, the system is broken. This month 175 citizens of Bandera County were summoned for jury duty. Only 36 appeared and the Court could not proceed with the jury trial. The failure of the Bandera Citizens to exercise their rights wasted a lot of resources, costs the County and the parties a lot of money, and more importantly, shut down your justice system. It’s an insult to our forefathers and our veterans who fought to preserve our freedom. Please don’t give away your liberty, do your duty and lets protect the most fair justice system in the world.
