Representative Dan Flynn (R-Van), Chairman House Pensions, sent a letter to the Attorney General’s Office this week expressing deep concerns about Department of State Health Services conduct in the agencies attempt to overstep its bounds. Recently, in both Austin and Houston, local health departments seemingly acting pursuant to direction from DSHS officials, intervened in the delivery of raw milk to customers who had already legally purchased the product. Both times, the health departments brought along the police, even though the customers were buying a legal food product. Raw milk is only allowed to be sold on the farm, and the customers had hired an independent agent to act as their courier and deliver their food for health, safety and reasons of convenience.
