1. Pruneyard relied on a provision of the California state constitution. That provision is not in Texas's state constitution. This is simply not true. Both Texas and California have very similar Constitutional provisions. California on speech: Article 1 sec 2: Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press. Texas on speech: Article 1 sec 8: FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS; LIBEL. Every person shall be at liberty to speak, write or publish his opinions on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that privilege; and no law shall ever be passed curtailing the liberty of speech or of the press. California on redress: Article 1 Sec 3: The people have the right to instruct their representatives, petition government for redress of grievances, and assemble freely to consult for the common good. Texas on redress: Article 1 Sec 27: RIGHT OF ASSEMBLY; PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES. The citizens shall have the right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for their common good; and apply to those invested with the powers of government for redress of grievances or other purposes, by petition, address or remonstrance.
