I believe she's been arrested, although probably not for the Texas call.

The one part of the story which I have seen only in local papers and on 
web pages is that Swinton is apparently an Obama delegate. That's of no 
real world im****tance that I can see--Obama can hardly be expected to 
vet every one of a thousand or so delegates to make sure none of them 
are nuts--but one would think it would be newsworthy, which makes it odd 
that CNN, at least, doesn't seem to have mentioned it yet.
