Several regulars point the finger at the college students. Inside the diner, Paul and some regulars hear Cat's wild screaming and run out to see what has happened. Cat screams wildly as she tumbles through the air until she lands in a lump. The student winds up and swings, landing a blow squarely in her ribs and launching her across the parking lot. Cat just watches him she has learned to trust people. They mistake her aloofness as one more rejection by the cold, cruel world. Since neither of the students is a regular at the diner, they don't know Cat or her ways. When they finally leave, Cat, who had been investigating the trashcan near the door, stops and stares at them. One night, very late, two brooding college students, Tim and Shane, are drowning their sorrows in coffee at the diner. PENAL CODE § 42.092Ĭopyright (c) 2008 Baylor Law Review Jeremy Masten (reprinted with permission) *964 DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS: QUESO'S LAW AND HOW THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE ABANDONED STRAY ANIMALS, A COMMENT ON H.B.2328 AND THE NEW TEX. Finally, the Comment concludes that the expanded definition of animal created by Queso's Law is too broad and that slightly re-wording the definition to create a “custody carve-out” would better protect the interests of feral animals. Part IV proposes a solution to the concerns raised by Queso's Law. Part III discusses animal cruelty law in the wake of Queso's Law, including the elements of the offense as well as constitutional and policy concerns. Part II discusses the historical background of animal cruelty laws both in Texas, prior to the 80th Legislature, and elsewhere. This Comment considers Queso's Law, its amendments to section 42.092 of the Texas Penal Code, and the impact of those amendments on animal cruelty law in Texas.
