13th Court of Appeals abates mask mandate appeal

The 13th Court of Texas Appeals has placed on hold a challenge by Gov. “Accordingly, we ABATE this appeal and remove it from the Court’s active docket until such time as the Texas Supreme Court issues its opinion in the direct appeal on one of the aforementioned cases. After that opinion issues, we direct appellants to promptly file a motion to reinstate this appeal,” the justices wrote. The appeal that the 13th Court of Appeals abated on Wednesday was in response to the temporary injunction issued by the 444th. Once the Supreme Court rules in the Dallas, San Antonio or Houston cases, Wednesday’s order directs the appellants and appellees to promptly notify the court.

The fringe ideology of “constitutional sheriffs” is attracting believers within Texas law enforcement

Letter: Abbott’s many abuses

What consciousness endorses Abbott’s charade as a remotely good idea? Abbott’s farther removed — literally and figuratively — from that of the three magi greeting the Christ Child in unseemly manger hay. His charitable spirit isn’t that of a Tyrian shekel compared to those in NGOs helping ameliorate horrible border migrant conditions. In Socratic dialogues, a good person may not be a good citizen and vice versa. The contrast between Abbott’s disservice to constitutional rule of law and due process and life of Jesus is palpable.

Abbott, Paxton punish innkeeper in Bethlehem

For two government leaders, whose political sleeves proudly display their Christian faith, there is a screeching dissonance with how they, Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, appear to practice that faith with regard to immigrants. Abbott cynically has spent $14 million Texas tax dollars to inhumanely physically “relocate” some 12,000 asylum seekers across the country — not out of benevolence, but for political theatrics. Politicians have kicked the immigration can down the road for decades, and it has doubled back on us. Nor should politicians do the dirty work of undercutting organizations and church groups that take Scriptures’ commands seriously and to heart.

Letters: Common sense can save lives

It’s a precious life that is about to see life in the world for the first time. Just keep in mind that each and every heinous criminal activity will never be hidden from the eyes of God. It doesn’t take facts and figures to know that abortions can be prevented in greater numbers if the child-bearing individual practices common sense all the time. So as an alternative to man-made laws or in lieu thereof, the use of common sense will always save a life, one child at a time. Without a doubt, declaring war on fossil fuels was one of the major causes of this mess we are in!
