Victims have HEADs been sent to Bexar County Jail, where bond has been posted at between $800 and $1,000, the attorney told TWT NEWS. Asked why same-sex acts were the increased target of arrests by park rangers, TWT NEWS was told that "the May primary elections are not far off. Never before have I ever had so many cases to handle for public sex," he added. The crackdown appears to be main- ly directed at parks and not bookstores. The crackdown seems to know no class strata, as Olmos Park is in an exclusive area, while Woodlawn Lake is in the heavily populated Mexican-American area, Arrests of gay males for public lewd- ness have been on the increase lately across Texas. Last week, TWT NEWS reported on the crackdown of public sex in the men's rest rooms on the Uni- versity of Houston campus. A prior story in TWT NEWS had uncovered the in- creased public lewdness arrests at the Baytown rest area on Interstate 10 by the Harris County Sherrif's Department.
