Find out if you're in TDEx

So the Texas Observer explains it all — they provide a simple form from the ACLU that you can email to the Office of the Governor to find out if you're considered to be a threat. I reproduce the form letter for cutting-and-pasting purposes after the jump, and have just submitted the form myself. I'll keep you posted as to what reply I get; you guys do the same.
