  1. Why was the possession of a firearm in his truck unlawful? Has he had a felony conviction previously or something?

    But here we go yet again, another deadly moron operating a motor vehicle on our public highway system putting the public in danger…. and all he’ll get is a little slap-on-the-wrist for it most likely. If it were up to me his vehicle and trailer and toy would be confiscated and sold at auction and his driver’s license revoked for LIFE, in addition to some prison time! Also I’m thinking possibly tattoo “MORON!” to his forehead, maybe. Just saying, the laws are far to lax when it comes to people driving impaired such as this moron! Just watch, he probably will get community service and a 60 day suspension of his license at most. It boils my blood I tell you! :-|

    • The possession charge was, because in Texas it is illegal to possess a firearm in the commission of a crime. So because he was committing DWI, the firearm became against State law.

  2. So this guy gets 2 bonds..$600 and $750 respectfully for a dwi and unlawful carry..whereas another has less than 2 oz mj and has a 5k bond with no prior…who woulda thunk the sports dude gets off easy 😒😡
