Texas: Where even the Democrats are violent.

Republican Jim Valdez filed a police report against his opponent, Democratic State Senator Leticia Van de Putte, the incumbent for the District 26 seat.

During the debate, Valdez says he challenged Van de Putte about racial allegations she claims another senator made about a year ago. Valdez said Van de Putte was caught off guard by the question and after the debate, he says she pulled him aside. Valdez claims Van de Putte grabbed his clothes and made threatening comments to him.

"If my son and husband gets ahold of you, you're going to be in trouble," Valdez claims Van de Putte told him.

"She let go and then turned around and grabbed me by the lapel again and yanked on my tie," Valdez alleged.

"This time you've crossed the line. When my husband and son get ahold of you, you'll get beaten up," Valdez claimed Van de Putte told him.
