Politicians Enter Busy Texas Primary Field
In the Texas Democratic primary a flurry of filings includes Frances Farenhold challenging Gov. Dolph Briscoe with a $3 million suit, Houston lawyer Donald Yarbrough opposing State Treasurer Jesse James, and incumbents facing Republican rivals for statewide offices. The Raza Unida Party fields Ram sey Muniz for governor and Pred Garza for railroad commissioner with convention moves toward major constitutional votes and education fund debates. Governor Briscoe seeks diesel fuel relief as truckers press for higher speed limits, while court actions loom over former Speaker Gus Mutscher and other appellate decisions.
