Texas Capitol staffer alleges being drugged by lobbyist

Allegations that a Texas lobbyist drugged a legislative aide shook the state Capitol on Monday, leading to some lawmakers restricting access to their offices as both law enforcement and a major lobbying firm said they were investigating.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is now investigating, agency spokesman Travis Considine said, but he would not provide more details. "I am disgusted this sort of predatory behavior is still taking place in and around our Capitol," Phelan said. He told the 149 other House members that they all must work toward "changing the culture of this building."
