In NJ - and i don't know how many other states... you can be sitting in your car, drunk as a skunk, and until you put your key in the ignition (not turning the key - just having it in the ignition) you are not doing anything wrong...
Sleeping in the street would probably be some sort of violation of a vagrancy law...
I find this amusing/absurd/astounding that this is happening in texas - a state where a gun permit is issued upon birth (sarcasm...) does this mean that if a person owns agun, that they can be arrested because they MIGHT kill someone someday?
