Is this a real Texas law?
There is a long standing story told in my family, I want to know if it is Myth or Fact.
They say that there is a law still on the books in Texas that a man can tie is wife to a bush (not a try) once a week (but no more) and beat her with a stick no larger than his thumb. True or False.Yes I know the idea of beat you wife is horrible and I would probably shoot my husband if he tried it. We are a family of cops with an odd sense of humour and I was just wondering if this is just a twisted joke or real. Please no posting on how horrible I am, or how bad it is. I know there are battered women out there and men who do that should be locked up. Please just answer this if you know, or think you know..
If you have no Clue - why not post other weird laws that you know are on the books. Might be fun.

--It is Texas law that when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone. ("neither shall proceed until the other has gone" where, how? In one of those "true facts" books there was an explanation for this law. It seems that one of the state senators did not want a law passed. To keep this particular law from passing he attached the train law to it. He hoped that fellow senators would discover the train law attached, see how ridiculous it was, and not pass the laws. Nobody saw the attachement and passed both laws. This may not be the real reason, but it sounds good. And it explains many of the laws we have to live with today.)
