A LEGAL ASSURANCE TO ME FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS STATE AGENCY IN AUSTIN:

 Seniors and the Elderly | Office of the Attorney General (texasattorneygeneral.gov)

The above link to the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General of Texas can direct you to an official webpage at that same State of Texas website that's focused on the legal rights of senior citizens age 60 or older (I myself being among those persons) who reside in Texas: The webpage makes it very clear that Texan residents age 60 or older are fully protected here in Texas in their freedom of speech legal rights and freedom of mutual-consent association legal rights. Those rights as cited by the Attorney General include: "Right to be Free to Exercise Civil Rights Under the Law "The elderly have the same civil rights as other adults under U.S. and Texas laws, except where lawfully restricted. They also have the right to use those civil rights free of interference, coercion, discrimination, and reprisal. "Right to Dignity and Respect "An elderly person has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, without regard to race, religion, nationality, sex, age, disability, marital status, or source of payment. This means that the elderly person has the right to: "Make his or her own choices about personal affairs, care, benefits, and services, and Be free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.... "Right to be Free from Physical and Mental Abuse "The elderly have the right to be free of both physical and mental abuse. Physical abuse includes corporal punishment, as well as physical or chemical restraints used to 'discipline' a person, or used for the convenience of a person providing services. Restraints are only permitted in very specific circumstances, such as when authorized by a doctor, in case of emergency, or in certain circumstances when the court-appointed guardian of a person with an intellectual disability has given informed consent. "More information can be found on the How to Spot and Report Elder Abuse page...." Senior Rights | Office of the Attorney General (texasattorneygeneral.gov) It is good to sense that any and all persons violating my own privacy rights while expressing defiance of my own freedom of speech and freedom of religion rights are each at risk of facing possible criminal charges or civil-law charges here in Texas when I finally get the opportunity to file legal charges against those persons---regardless of who they are---through a complaint I submit to the Attorney General of Texas. Earlier this century, a representative for the Attorney General of Massachusetts in Boston or possibly a representative for the Attorney General of Texas in Austin volunteered to me on the telephone that state law in several or more states other than Texas would have protected the full range of my own privacy rights and other legal rights more extensively than the state laws in Texas did at that time. It is good to sense from the Attorney General's Office webpage I reviewed today that state laws in Texas do, in fact, offer me certain types of tangible legal protection as a law-abiding gainfully-employed, fully-ambulatory, psychologically healthy, permanently-drinking-alcohol-free (ever since 1990), permanently marijuana-free (ever since 1984), permanently illicit-drug-free on a lifelong basis in regard to any and all illicit drugs other than marijuana, intellectually vital, single Anglo adult senior citizen age 63. I may need to do some research to find out which of the Super Lawyer attorneys here in the Austin area have had the best success from filing legal complaints in Texas against persons operating in Texas who abused a Texan resident age 60 or older.
