Forthcoming Publication: The Preparedness Piñata

Forthcoming Publication: The Preparedness Piñata

The South Texas Law Review has selected The Preparedness Piñata for inclusion in its Spring 2018 publication cycle.

The South Texas College of Law’s South Texas Law Review has selected our Editor-in-Cheif’s work “The Preparedness Piñata: Knocking the Problems out of Texas’ Emergency Management Legal Framework to Enhance Performance at the Local Level” for inclusion in the Spring 2018 edition.

The Preparedness Piñata takes an in depth look at the Texas Division of Emergency Management’ informal guidance for Emergency Management and whether they violate the Texas Administrative Procedures Act as “ad hoc rulemaking.” The article concludes with a discussion on the potential issues and methods for rectifying the issues that could stem from illegal ad hoc rulemaking.

For more information on subscriptions to receive the article once complete, contact us on the contact tab or by reaching out to the South Texas Law Review directly.

Did you know that there is a difference between the State and National Guard? It’s true!

The State Guard is another military force under the command of the Texas Adjutant General. There are army, air, and maritime components to the Texas State Guard. However, they primarily serve within Texas for disaster response.

The National Guard is organized and able to serve both the State government and–when called upon–federal government times of national emergency or conflict. This would include deployments to places like Iraq, Kuwait, or Afghanistan.

As a side note, the Texas State Guard has a JAG Corps that mobilizes to assist the Texas National Guard on operations within the state. Many sitting Judges and seasoned lawyers volunteer to serve in the Texas State Guard as JAG Officers.
