Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction This book, "State of Texas Rules to Uphold (Pride with Respect)" is a must for all Texans to have in their procession. Included in this Book are: State of Texas History & Facts Rules To Uphold & Live By The Ten Commandments of Moses Texas Department of Public Safety Laws Employment Law Texas Department of Criminal Justice History Texas State Constitution Texas Declaration of Independence I made many mistakes in my life by not knowing man made Laws. However, I had to suffer the consequences after breaking some of them. I learned not to continue to break the Law or I would eventually end up in prison or dead. Among poor people there is a lot of pressure not to look poor so as not to be the butt of jokes about "how you dress" even though most people's are. Sagging is an attempt to reclaim some dignity and present oneself as belonging to the class to which one aspires, i.e., the class that is not "so fresh and so clean" is popular in the ghetto. To stay in the game you must keep your image up with your attire being well groomed, clean and neat no matter what. (I did it and I was dirt poor), because the appearance you portray to Society is the way the public think you are inside. If you want to become successful and get a job in the workforce, your appearance will determine your destiny; or you will be a loser and portray stereotyping for your race. Therlee Gipson
