Texas lawmakers undeterred AUSTIN, Texas — Texas lawmakers plan to bring to the floor several bills that would restrict abortions despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last summer that found two provisions of Texas law on the procedure unconstitutional. The Dallas Morning News reports that lawmakers are undeterred by the court’s verdict and subsequent legal challenges. A federal judge earlier this month blocked until at least January hotly debated Texas rules mandating burial or cremation of fetal remains that were set to go into effect within days. Republican state lawmakers have pre-filed bills that would codify similar rules into Texas law. Another would ban a type of late- term abortion that is already illegal under federal law. A third would implement stronger requirements for electronic reporting of abortions by clinics. The Texas Legislature convenes Jan. 10. Inmate death investigated WEATHERFORD, Texas — Texas Rangers are inves- tigating the death of a 38- year-old man who died in custody in a county jail 30 miles west of Fort Worth. Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said in a statement Monday that Jesse Andrew Debusk died Saturday after a violent con- frontation with guards. Authorities say that Debusk was booked Friday on outstanding warrants. The statement says that Debusk cursed and became physical- ly violent with guards when they attempted to move him into another cell on Saturday. The statement says that after Debusk calmed down, officers removed his con- straints and left him alone in a cell. Moments later, he was found unresponsive. An ambulance transported Debusk to Weatherford Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
