A comment on It's legal to hit children in school in 19 American states. Parent comment
You are not wrong: "cattle rustling" is indeed still a hanging offense in Texas.
What makes this a bit interesting is that, technically, if you eat a steak and then don't pay for it, you have engaged in "cattle rustling".
So, dine and dash at a steakhouse could legally be punished by a hanging.
