Chief Edwards, Chief of Manhattan North, going over the barricade in pursuit of Emir Balat, suspected Manhattan ISIS bomber. A two-star still chasing perps. That’s a cop.

Alcohol to-go is now LAW in Texas!
Thank you to my partners in the legislature for getting this to my desk.

If your bar or restaurant was damaged in the riot last night in Dallas and you want help cleaning up and securing your property, dm me. I’ll come down. @TexasABC is here for you.
Quick, decisive, common-sense moves like this will help make life better over the next few months. When you see them in the news, remember they're made possible by staffers who pull all-nighters agonizing over details at places like the office of @GovAbbott and @TexasABC.
To get more supplies in our grocery stores more quickly I will remove any regulatory barrier that stands in the way.
Texas is now allowing trucks that deliver alcohol to also deliver grocery supplies.

Texas seceded from Mexico on March 2, 1836 and introduced the common law of England for civil cases in 1840, when the Congress of the Republic of Texas enacted the statute you see here. The statue expressly retained some Mexican laws that are still in force in Texas today.

We were delighted to host a coffee with the justices last week in El Paso. It was a packed event with lots of back and forth between justices and practitioners! #AppellateTwitter

Great turnout at today's Dallas #appellatetwitter lunch. 2 Dallas Court of Appeals justices, 1 trial court judge, 2 law students interning at the Court of Appeals, and 7 appellate lawyers. Thanks for organizing it, @JEBoatright!
The justices and staff of the 9th court drew a great crowd! The next @TexAppOrg coffee will be at the El Paso court of appeals on January 17 at 10:00 a.m. See y’all there!
The Section's Coffee with the Justices in Beaumont was a great success! #AppellateTwitter
Keep an eye out for more Coffees with the Justices around the state.

Government shouldn’t get in the way of your ability to make a living.
So, I directed all state agencies to roll back burdensome & costly regulations which may hurt both workers and consumers.

Serving on the court of appeals has been an honor and a privilege. Thank you, @GregAbbott_TX, for giving me an opportunity to defend the Constitution and serve the people of this great state. God Bless Texas!

A great turnout at today’s Spanish Elements of Texas Law CLE, with speaker Justice Jason Boatright.
I've seen a lot of advice on #AppellateTwitter lately about being nice to support staff because they're powerful. This is similar to something I've heard at a bunch of CLEs: be nice to judges, or else! I think that's often true. I also think it's appalling. 1/2
