Nope I didn't mean that James T. All conversations to me or by
me are duly recorded. And in Texas it is quite legal. In any event,
I have publicly announced this fact over two years ago on the DNSO
GA list.
You need to separately look at three scenarios: 1) an intra-state Texas
call; 2) an interstate call placed to you in Texas; and 3) an interstate
call placed by you to someone outside of Texas. In scenario 3, don't
assume that Texas law would insulate you if recording without consent is
unlawful in the state to which you placed the call.> Not that I'm interested in bringing an action against you, don't worry

I am sorry if you would be peeved. :( That's unfortunate to be sure
as I like you personally. But be that as it may, I don't live in California,
and in Texas I can record any conversation I so choose. So I choose
as per my legal council's recommendation and for my own protection
to record ALL phone conversations as well as save any and all
correspondence of any kind. Thank god here in Texas we reserve the
right of free choice still. And as I said and if you check the archives
of the DNSO GA list, I have publicly announced that all telephone
conversations to me or from me are duly recorded unless on the rare
occasion I choose to disengage that feature.
