Battle
UPS service OK'd in Texas
Associated Press
AUSTIN — After a 19-year bat
tle, the Texas Railroad Commission
on Monday authorized United Par
cel Service to deliver packages be
tween Texas cities.
But because of an anticipated
court challenge, UPS’ familiar fleet
of brown trucks probably won’t be
making intrastate deliveries for a
while, according to a company law
yer.
UPS long has been allowed to
make shipments to and from other
states, and some deliveries within
Texas cities.
But a 1931 state law requiring
package deliverers to operate on
scheduled and regular routes barred
UPS from Texas intercity service.
The Connecticut-based company
offers on-demand, non-scheduled
service. The order signed Monday
by Commissioners Buddy Temple
and Mack Wallace said UPS “proved
that the services of existing carriers
were inadequate.”
Commissioner Jim Nugent, dis
senting, said “The evidence in this
case demonstrates the applicant does
not intend to provide a service in
accordance with present laws and
regulations of die commission.”
UPS’ application was challenged
by Tex-Pack Express, a group of
Texas companies.
Tex-Pack lawyer Timothy Her
man of Austin said his client would
ask for a rehearing and then go to
court.
“We’ll do essentially what UPS did
when they were ruled against,” he
said. “We take the position the stat
ute as interpreted and enforced by
the commission hasn’t undergone
any change.”
The Texas Supreme Court never
has ruled on the merits of the case.
Tex-Pack’s battle against UPS
stretches back as long as UPS’ re
quest. The Texas companies, in
press releases, have called UPS the
“greedy brown giant” and criticized
the company as “a giant, automated
out-of-state corporation owned by
Easterners.”
“Texas is just an awful lot differ
ent from Massachusetts or some
place,” Tex-Pack spokesman Jake
Westfall of Fort Worth said last year
when it looked as if the commission
was leaning toward approval of UPS’
request.
“There’s a long bunch of miles out
there between towns in West Texas.
They demand regular routes and
schedules.”
Bill to give teachers
more power to punish
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Teachers would be able to act faster and tougher against
students who bring firearms, drugs or alcohol to school under bills intro
duced Monday in tne Legislature.
“The primary responsibility of a teacher is to teach — not to police
troubled students,” said Rep. Bill Haley, D-Center, sponsor of the oill in
the House. “One troubled student shouldn’t disrupt the learning process
of other students who want to learn.”
The bill’s Senate sponsor, Sen. Hector Uribe, D-Brownsville, said the
measure would give “teachers and school administrators broader authority
to maintain discipline in our classrooms.”
Currently, a student must be declared “incorrigible” and a danger to
the school before the student can be removed from school.
Haley said under the new measure, a teacher can send a disruptive stu
dent to the principal, who in turn may suspend the student or send him to
an alternative education program. Uribe said currently the only cause for
immediate expulsion is an assault on a teacher while at school.
