§.175.10 appears to be about business records that are false in a monetary sense, rather than in a mislabeled sense, and which further a financial fraud, not an election fraud. This becomes more obvious when you go back and read §.175.05, falsifying business records in the second degree, the prerequisite for §.175.10, falsifying business records …

Does Texas Law ever allow for a Code Rewrite?
I’m personally indifferent to the policy impact of the HOME Ordinance and HOME Phase 2 Ordinance. However, it strikes me that there currently exists a failure to communicate between Texas Courts’ recent rulings in the Acuna v City of Austin lawsuit, and the City’s interpretations of those rulings. There seems to be a state of …

Is there really a “But For” test
IS THERE REALLY A “BUT FOR” TEST IN THE TIRZ LAW? The forthcoming ruling in Bill Bunch’s South Central Waterfront TIRZ lawsuit, which could come down any day now, promises to be a watershed moment for the political struggle over the last few years between the emerging New Austin and the Old. Bill Bunch has …

Is there a loophole in the Texas Tax Code the city could use in it’s fight with SOS over the Statesman TIRZ?
In December of 2022 the Austin City Council established the SCWF-TIRZ, a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone covering the abandoned Austin American-Statesman lot and other contiguous properties. This would save the developer Endeavor an estimated $500M in infrastructure costs. In exchange, Endeavor is planning to build a sparkling new south bank downtown, which the City highly …
Did the City just admit the HOME Ordinance is illegal?
Several quotes from a presentation by a city attorney to the City Council, as transcribed in this article from the Austin Monitor, appear to indirectly suggest that the correct procedure was not followed in passing the HOME Ordinance. In her presentation about re-adopting three ordinances that were recently struck down by a state judge, the …

Did Doug Becker outsmart himself in zoning fight?
Austin’s new HOME Ordinance is the latest in a series of city ordinances that manages to effectively rezone every lot in town by changing the definition of various zoning classifications. Soon after the first of these ordinances passed in 2019, longtime residents launched into opposition and filed a lawsuit. This lawsuit, however made a key …

The Permanent Coup: Tying up some final lose ends
I just finished The Permanent Coup by Lee Smith. It’s an excellent book and I strongly recommend it. It added to my knowledge of the Russiagate topic in several areas. But I do have a few disagreements that lend themselves nicely to further flushing out my final thoughts on Russiagate, a fascinating political story that …

Rebutting Feinstein
This is a doozy of a statement. It perfectly encapsulates each logical flaw defenders of Crossfire Hurricane invoke to justify the investigation. Each point is easily refuted with just a little logic. We’ve never been told what George Papadopoulos supposedly said to the Australians that made it “appear” the campaign had advance knowledge of the …
