🔥 PEOPLE’S VOTE BLOCKED? Texas Supreme Court Shuts Down San Marcos Ma*****na Ordinance

The Texas Supreme Court has ❌ denied review ❌ in the battle over San Marcos’s voter-approved 🌿 ma*****na ordinance.

🗳️ Back in 2022, nearly 82% of San Marcos voters said YES to ending arrests & citations for low-level possession. But the State of Texas argued it conflicts with state law that requires full enforcement of drug laws.

📜 Earlier this year, the 15th Court of Appeals agreed with the State — ruling the ordinance was preempted and couldn’t stand. With the Supreme Court refusing to hear the City’s appeal, that ruling now holds.

👉 What’s next? The fight continues in the Attorney General’s lawsuit, but for now, San Marcos’s ordinance is effectively invalid.

💬 Do YOU think the people’s vote should control local policy? Or should state law always override? Drop your thoughts & reactions below ⬇️🔥

🚨 Bexar County DA Drops Martha’s Vineyard Migrant Case 🚨

The Bexar County District Attorney’s Office says it cannot pursue criminal charges in the case involving the transportation of about 50 migrants — including children — from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard back in 2022.

👉 The Sheriff’s Office had filed unlawful restraint cases against two individuals.
👉 After two years of review, DA Joe Gonzales says there isn’t enough evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
👉 Prosecutors stressed that all elements of unlawful restraint — including intent, lack of consent, and deception — must be proven for charges to move forward.

🗣️ Gonzales: “As prosecutors, it is our sworn duty to bring charges only when the facts of the case support them… We diligently reviewed what was filed and determined there was not enough evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”

What do you think? Was this the right call, or should this case have gone to trial? ⚖️
