AUSTIN, TEXAS — Getting caught with a little marijuana in Texas may not mean automatic arrest — at least not anymore. Starting September 1, police officers will have the discretion to let people caught with four ounces or less get off with a citation and a court date — instead of being booked. ..… "It would actually make the most sense not to cite anyone for marijuana and not put them in jail or fine them at all — it should be legal," said [MPP executive director Rob] Kampia. "However, this is a step in the right direction." (August 24, 2007)
US Senator Barack Obama became the latest Democratic presidential candidate to say … he would end raids from federal law enforcement agencies against those who use medical marijuana in the dozen states where it is legal … now all 2008 Democratic presidential candidates have agreed to stop raids … (August 22, 2007)

Ooooh, progress? ya think? ;)
Thanks for the comments :) Joy is my Aunt lives in OK too - she wrote you back on my site ;)
Actually I have heard them doing the same practice over here on the coast - that it depends on how much you are caught with and if you are cooperative, etc...
Wow. Who knew Texas could get so progressive? Of course they've always had that "wild west, leave me alone and don't mess with my horse attitude."
wow, who woulda thunk it..texans doing something smart for a change..
yeah, now if they would just make it legal...
so this all hinges on running into a nice cop in a good mood when walking around with a bit of pot.
sometimes it's hard to find a nice cop in a good mood.
