I ordered a lot of books tonight from Bookshop.com and I will buy some more in person tomorrow for Independent Bookstore Day. I hope that's enough to offset the jackals. Kiss my ass, Amazon.

Texas Legislature Goes After Bookstores

The Texas legislature is coming after bookstores, and we need to stop them.House Bill 1375 would let anyone bring a civil suit against bookstores and other commercial entities, seeking damages if a minor accessed content deemed “harmful to minors.” This could force stores to close their doors to minors and card people at the door. There is a hearing in the House Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence Committee on Wednesday, April 23, at 8am in Capitol Extension E2.030. It is already illegal to sell minors legally harmful material. By creating a civil cause of action, this bill virtually guarantees frivolous lawsuits filed against bookstores to chill speech. If someone merely thinks their child has been “harmed” by accessing a book they deem harmful, they can file a suit against a bookseller. Whether or not such a suit is ultimately successful, the time & expense of opposing it is beyond what any small business owner can take on. It thus becomes a bounty bill that someone can use to seek “damages” when no damage has been done in hopes of intimidating someone into a settlement. It can also be a way for someone to harass a bookstore they don't like.Can you make it to the statehouse in Austin to testify against this horrible bill? Let us know by emailing abfe@bookweb.org, and we can help you prepare. If not, you can submit a comment against the bill on the Texas House website. HB 1375, “Relating to civil liability for obscenity.”
