Um, ya think there’s more to this story?
REDSTATE – News has broken that Wendy Davis lied about her background. She is now playing victim blaming Greg Abbott.
It is her ex-husband who talked to a left-of-center Dallas reporter. It is also her ex-husband who asked a Texas District Court to issue a temporary restraining order against Wendy Davis in 2003.
In that order, the judge ordered that Wendy Davis “be immediately restrained from . . . using illegal drugs or consuming alcohol within 24 hours before or during the period of possession of or access to the child.”
Speaking of the child, at the time her twelve year old daughter requested her father serve as her managing conservator.
UPDATE: This may not be what it was cracked up to be. According to Gabriel Malor, attorney, this is nothing more than standard boilerplate:
@trscoop Standard divorce boilerplate.

@trscoop Sure. Example here, p. 38. http://t.co/9rUVhaCpwS Hundreds more available on Westlaw, Lexis. Same thing.

The last thing I want to do is smear someone. If for some reason this is different than what Malor suggests, then I’ll let you know. Perhaps Erick Erickson has more to this story that he can share. If he does, I’ll post a follow up. But for now it looks like this is a nothing-burger.
