From this, I'm figuring all judges in Texas must be armed. Otherwise, why would the lawyer who'd just been attacked flag down a limping judge to help him out? With all due respect to the physically challenged, that's not the first person I'm looking to to run down a thief for me.
Good to know, in case I ever have a case in Texas.
