Texas Scorecard by Rachel Malone November 15, 2019
The two biggest blocks to constitutional carry in the Texas House, Bonnen and Nevarez, are out. But there is more work to do.Speaker Dennis Bonnen and Chairman Poncho Nevarez (D–Eagle Pass) were by far the two biggest blocks to constitutional carry in the Texas House this past session.
It looks like neither one of them is coming back.
Bonnen is leaving after being disgraced by his, well, disgraceful behavior.
After killing the constitutional carry bill by sending it to Nevarez, Bonnen tried to pin the bill’s failure on gun rights activists through lies and deceit. But his devious ways caught up to him and he won’t be running again.
Nevarez seems to have been found in possession of over two grams of cocaine recently.
He was chairman of the committee that heard most of the gun bills, and was anything but fair to our witnesses. He openly voiced opposition to constitutional carry. He refused to set a hearing for that bill.
