Please read the actual bill postings before freaking out. Unless it was proposed then dropped immediately, I did not see an expansion on the lockdown in the Texas Legislature postings from 2/9/21, but I did see these gems:
HB 1702- Relating to lobbying by former members of the legislature; creating a criminal offense.
HB 1708- Relating to an electronic voting system that produces a voter-verifiable paper record.
HB 1724- Relating to service as an election watcher. (They changed the language from the watcher "being near" to "being near enough to see and hear" the counter.)
HB 1725- Relating to prohibiting in-person delivery of ballots by mail.
HCR 85- Proposing a constitutional amendment to prevent certain public officers and entities from prohibiting the operation of industries or other categories of business or commercial activity in this state.
SJR37- Claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to halt and reverse certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.
Also fighting the educational deep state with:
SB 348 - Relating to parental access to public school virtual instruction and instructional materials for virtual and remote learning.
Easing taxation of the Elderly and Disabled:
HB 1705 - Relating to the establishment of a limitation on the total amount of ad valorem taxes (property taxes) that taxing units may impose on the residence homesteads of individuals who are disabled or elderly and their surviving spouses.
Protections from Federal 2A overreach:
HB112 - Relating to the enforcement of certain federal laws regulating firearms, firearm accessories, and firearm ammunition within the State of Texas; creating a criminal offense.

Not sure what #lockdown bill he is referring to
Either it was there briefly (and probably proposed by that one idiot out of San Antonio) and was taken down, or this was just more fake news.
Come on, Pedes, we're better than this. Read and research. Don't just react.
