Rosson predicting delay on penal code action at next session
Rep. Renal B. Rosson expects the legislature to postpone action on the proposed penal code to a later session as many lawmakers and lawyers have not read the draft. He notes much of the work appeared to be done by University of Texas Law School faculty and students, drawing concern from prosecutors and defense lawyers. Meanwhile Dolph Briscoe attended the Cowboy Hall of Fame Art Show as a potential candidate for 1972 state office, amid visits by notable artists Gordon Snidow Joe Beeler Tom Ryan and others from the Cowboy Artists of America.
