State Using fake IDs may lead to raking leaves AUSTIN (AP) — Young Texans who try to use or sell fake identification cards could face community service under a bill pending in the House. Rep. Burt Solomons, R-Carrollton, sponsor of the bill, said he hopes his bill will reduce the use and sale of fake IDs, normally used to buy alco hol and to enter bars. “Maybe it will make them hesitate before using them,” he said of his bill. The measure, which needs a final House vote, would require people 20 and younger to serve up to eight hours of community service if con victed of using or selling a fake ID. The law currently allows for a $500 fine. Solomons said the fine isn’t enough punishment because many people simply mail a check. “This way they have to come in and at least talk to someone,” he said. UT law school invites fewer minorities AUSTIN (AP) — With nearly all of its admission offers completed, the Uni versity of Texas Law School has invited 23 blacks and Hispanics to enroll, ac cording to admission records.
