Olvera v. State

In Olvera v. State, 806 S.W.2d 546 (1991) the Court determined the constitutionality of a picketing statute. As in Long, we used 42.05 as an example of a statute that was readily subject to a narrowing construction: Appellee considers the inclusion of the curtailment phrase in our discussion as proof that the curtailment of others' First Amendment rights is an element of 42.05. What appellee fails to acknowledge is that in our discussion of Morehead we also explained that the narrowing construction concerned the amount of interference to a public meeting. See id. at 552 The Court did not, however, indicate that we considered the narrowing construction to include the type of impact that such interference had on others' rights.
