“Judges Can Conduct Traditional Weddings While Declining Same-Sex Ones, Texas Supreme Court Says” The Texan’s [ [link removed] ] Kim Roberts – In response to a question about whether judges who refuse to perform same-sex ceremonies based on their religious beliefs are prohibited from also performing traditional weddings, the Texas Supreme Court said, “No.”
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit certified a question to the Texas Supreme Court in the case of Jack County Judge Keith Umphress, who sued the State Commission on Judicial Conduct in 2020 to clarify his ability to refuse to officiate ceremonies of same-sex couples because of his Christian beliefs.

“Teen arson suspect accused of terroristic threats against North Texas schools” Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s [ [link removed] ] None – Arson suspect faces new charges for video threat to schools Evan Banda, 17, the teenager charged with a string of five car arsons in a Fort Worth neighborhood, was also one of the people responsible for social media threats against North Texas schools last week, police said Tuesday.
Banda now faces additional charges of terroristic threat and terrorism, police said in a news release.
Fort Worth police began investigating the threats of mass violence after a video began circulating on social media Jan. 6. The video showed a masked man holding a handgun in front of what appears to be a Nazi flag.
“Many people will die,” the man, wearing a yellow hockey mask, says through a voice-distortion filter. “We will kill in every way possible: shooting, bombing, cutting. We will be as cruel as possible.” According to social media posts, the man claimed to belong to a group referred to as ENDTEX.
Fort Worth police believe that video originated from an extremist hate group overseas, officials said at the time. The video was initially posted on one social media platform before being widely circulated on more accounts and followed by additional threatening messages, police said.

“Abbott Offers State Assistance to HUD for Fraud Identification Program” The Texan’s [ [link removed] ] Holly Hansen – Gov. Greg Abbott has volunteered Texas assistance to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in identifying fraud in federal housing programs after the agency identified at least $5 billion in potentially erroneous payments last year.
According to a letter sent to HUD Secretary Scott Turner on Monday, Abbott offered state participation in a pilot fraud identification program through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA).

“Texas TDLR combats human trafficking, ramps inspections” Midland Reporter-Telegram’s [ [link removed] ] Kessly Salinas – January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation is helping fight human trafficking in its regulated professions.
TDLR said its employees are firmly part of the fight against coerced labor or commercial sex acts.
According to TDLR, several of the regulated programs can have a nexus with potential human trafficking, and TDLR employees and licensees can work together to identify and eliminate human trafficking in those programs.
TDLR regulates massage therapists, massage establishments, cosmetologists, nail salons and many other professions where trafficking may be present. TDLR said its employees and licensees can be the first ally in contact with potential human trafficking victims.
According to TDLR, its health professions licensees may interact with trafficked people if they are brought in for medical assistance.
Beauty licensees may interact with trafficked people if their traffickers want to alter or control the appearance of the individual to make them more attractive to potential clients.

“Most Texas parents considered school changes as ESAs debut, survey finds” Midland Reporter-Telegram’s [ [link removed] ] Crystal Huggins – As Texas rolls out a new education savings account program that could reshape how families pay for school, a new survey shows millions of parents are already weighing whether to move their children to different classrooms.
Nearly three out of four Texas parents considered switching schools for at least one of their children last year, however, only about one in four ultimately made the leap, according to a survey released by the National School Choice Awareness Foundation, or NSCAF. Others said they ran out of time, struggled to find nearby options or worried about disrupting a child’s academic or social life.
For many families, the search began during major life or school transitions. About one in five parents said they started looking when a child entered school for the first time, while others began searching during school-level transitions or after moving to a new community. More than a third of parents said dissatisfaction with their child’s current school or a desire for a better fit also played a role.

“‘Broad and sweeping’: How DART service could change in North Texas if cities leave” via Dallas Morning News [ [link removed] ] – If Plano, Irving, Farmers Branch, Highland Park and University Park voters decide to exit the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system in May, the fallout would be swift: station closures, route cuts and a fractured regional transit system, the agency says.
DART laid out those far-reaching effects in a report released in advance of an agency leadership meeting Tuesday, its most detailed accounting yet of the impact on riders and service if member cities leave the system.
“The changes are broad and sweeping but this is a factual look at what would happen on May 3, 2026,” the day after withdrawal votes are canvassed, DART communications officer Jeamy Molina said.
City officials who favor secession from DART say they have plans to replace transit service locally despite the agency’s stark warnings, while riders who depend on the regional system are worried about the prospect of losing access they rely on daily.

“Dallas police chief rejects oversight board’s request for reporting on ICE interactions” Dallas Morning News’s [ [link removed] ] None – Dallas police will not provide routine reports to the city’s police oversight board on officers’ encounters with federal immigration authorities, Chief Daniel Comeaux said Tuesday, arguing such disclosures could put officers at risk.
In remarks that echoed prior public statements on the topic, Comeaux told the City Council-appointed board that the department is obligated to assist federal agencies when asked, but he reiterated that city officers do not enforce immigration law.
“We don’t want to disclose any information on any investigations that are ongoing … or how many times we might be at a location,” he told the board, “but I can assure you we’re not immigration officers, and we don’t do anything regarding immigration.”

“Tarrant County approves $1 billion bond to benefit Baylor Scott & White Health” Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s [ [link removed] ] None – Tarrant County commissioners voted Tuesday to approve issuing more than $1 billion in tax-exempt bonds to benefit Baylor Scott & White Health, the state’s largest nonprofit health system.
The issuer of the $1,070,000,000 bond is the Tarrant County Cultural Education Facilities Finance Corp., a subsidiary of the county. Commissioners voted on the bonds as part of a consent agenda without discussion.
“Baylor Scott & White is planning to issue bonds that may be used for expansion and modernization projects, routine maintenance and replacement across the health system, as well as to refinance certain prior bonds,” said spokesperson Matthew Olivolo. He did not answer more detailed questions about what the bonds will be used for.
These are sometimes known as conduit bonds, meaning they are bonds issued by the county but benefitting a private entity. These differ from traditional bonds issued directly by the county.

“VIA implements largest at-once set of service improvements” Community Impact Newspaper’s [ [link removed] ] Parks Kugle – VIA Metropolitan Transit launched its largest set of service improvements Jan. 12. Effective Jan. 12, VIA Metropolitan Transit launched its largest set of service improvements that has ever been simultaneously implemented by the agency.
According to a news release, the changes were feasible due to the hiring of 107 new full-time bus operators and the accelerated progress of the Better Bus Plan—VIA’s multiyear initiative designed to improve frequency, reliability and overall system performance. The changes affect 30 routes across VIA’s service area, the release states.
“This is the largest set of service improvements VIA has implemented at one time, and it directly supports our mission to connect people to what matters most,” Jon Gary Herrera, VIA president and CEO, said. “We remain committed to delivering a strong system with faster, more frequent and more reliable service that expands access.”

“Tarrant County Pays Redistricting Law Firm $75,000 Over Agreed Contract” The Texan’s [ [link removed] ] Kim Roberts – The Tarrant County Commissioners Court agreed to pay the Public Interest Legal Foundation’s (PILF) legal invoice that exceeded its original $250,000 contract by about $75,000, though Commissioners Roderick Miles (D-Pct. 1) and Alisa Simmons (D-Pct. 2) objected to the invoice payment.
PILF was hired in April 2025 to create maps for the mid-decade redistricting of the commissioner precincts in Tarrant County. Miles and Simmons voted against awarding that contract.

“’Kind of a mystery’: Wesley Hunt’s campaign to dethrone two of the biggest names in Texas politics,” Houston Chronicle’s James Osborne -- Since last March, a so-called dark money group called Standing For Texas has spent $4.2 million promoting [ [link removed] ] U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt, who along with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is running to unseat [ [link removed] ] incumbent U.S. Sen. John Cornyn.
Unlike the Super PACs promoting Cornyn and Paxton’s candidacy, Standing for Texas’ finances and donors are private.
That has prompted a guessing game among campaign staff and political observers about who is backing a candidate that many have written off as a long shot to dethrone two of the biggest names in Texas politics. Driving the intrigue is the question of why Hunt, in his second term, is giving up a safe congressional seat representing western Harris County to run for Senate so early in his political career.
Hunt’s “whole campaign is kind of a mystery,” said former Houston congressman John Culberson, a Cornyn ally. “I’m not sure what the motivation is and where his funding is coming from.”
But Hunt, a 44-year-old former U.S. Army helicopter pilot known for his energetic support of President Donald Trump, sees a clear path to the nomination, one that hinges on a runoff election. If he can eke out second place in the primary, he’s betting that his ties to Trump, along with his “youth and biography,” can put him ahead of the 73-year-old Cornyn and 63-year-old Paxton.
“President Trump is trying to set up the next generation of leaders and when you’ve been around like John Cornyn for 44 years its time to move on,” Hunt said in an interview. “This is a six year term. In six years, Ken is going to be in his seventies, and we’ll be in the same situation all over again.”
With less than two months until the March 3 primary, a poll by the University of Texas/Texas Politics Project [ [link removed] ] shows Republicans tend to like Hunt. But the same surveys show a majority of conservative voters don’t know enough about him to form an opinion.
That could potentially play in his favor as voters grapple with Cornyn and Paxton’s political baggage.
Cornyn’s past clashes with Trump continue to drive suspicion among conservatives. Paxton, who overcame impeachment charges in 2023 [ [link removed] ], is in the middle of a messy divorce [ [link removed] ] from state Sen. Angela Paxton.
There is a wildcard is Trump, who has yet to put his finger on the scale with an endorsement. But without his backing, Hunt’s lack of name recognition outside Houston also presents a real challenge in getting enough votes to make it to a runoff, said Josh Blank, research director for the Texas Politics Project.
“I don’t get the logic,” he said. “To the extent Cornyn’s weaknesses in the Republican electorate are evident, it would be foolish to forget he’s run successfully in state wide elections in Texas for more than two decades.”
Muddying the situation is the fact that Hunt’s conservative platform and reputation — built around Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda — is almost identical to that of Paxton’s. But Paxton has been building that brand since he rose to prominence in the Texas Legislature during the rise of the Tea Party Movement in the late 2000s, while Hunt was a political unknown until his first, unsuccessful campaign for Congress in 2018. ...
Unlike those candidates, who have built a long list of wealthy donors over decades in Texas politics, little is known about who is boosting Hunt’s candidacy.
To counter outside groups supporting Paxton and Cornyn, he is relying on Standing For Texas, which as a non-profit is limited under federal election law in how much it can spend. The group’s ads cannot say which office Hunt is even running for, instead touting his military service and urging people to call his office to offer thanks.
The nonprofit also does not have to disclose how much money it is taking in, keeping Hunt’s political rivals in the dark on how much money the group has left to spend in the run up to the GOP primary in March.
So-called dark money groups, which shield donors from public view, have become increasingly commonplace in American politics. But it’s also unusual for a candidate not to also have the backing of a Super PAC, which have no limits on how much is spent on advertising and must list their donors, said Brendan Glavin, a campaign finance analyst with the non-profit Open Secrets.
“In most cases, those wanting to spend money, and remain anonymous, have found it easier to move the money from (non-profits) to super PACs, and let the super PAC do the direct campaign spending as the election nears,” he said in an email.
A spokesman for Hunt’s campaign referred questions to Standing for Texas. That group did not respond to a request for comment.
Hunt’s own campaign must report its donors. One of the largest this year is Cody Campbell, the Fort Worth oil magnate and Texas Tech booster, who along with his business partner John Sellers donated almost $40,000 to various Hunt campaign funds in August.
Campbell did not respond to requests for comment, but he has developed into a prominent GOP donor in recent years, giving $500,000 last year to Trump’s Super PAC, MAGA Inc.
Also, Peter Huntsman, chairman of the Houston chemical company founded by his father, Huntsman Corp., gave more than $24,000 in March, the same month Standing For Texas started running ads. And Thomas Lacy, a Fort Worth businessman [ [link removed] ], and his wife donated $74,000 to Hunt in March. None of those donors responded to requests for comment.

“On 10-stop San Antonio campaign swing, Jasmine Crockett flexes star power” San Antonio Report’s [ [link removed] ] Andrea Drusch – In a grueling 10-stop campaign swing through San Antonio on Sunday, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Dallas) drew out thousands of Democratic Party faithful far from her home base, lifted up a lesser-known candidate for Texas governor and made her case for mounting a statewide campaign some in the party would rather she’d skipped.
Crockett, a 44-year-old civil rights attorney, has been a fast-rising rising star in a Democratic Party that’s eager to see its leaders fighting back in the era of President Donald Trump.
But the power of her personal brand is being put to the test after launching a last-minute U.S. Senate bid on the day of the Dec. 8 filing deadline — a response to Republicans’ mid-cycle redistricting effort that drew her out of her Dallas-area congressional district.
The potential for national money and support for the Senate race drew interest from nearly all of the state’s best-known Democrats at various points this election cycle, including U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-San Antonio), former U.S. Rep. Colin Allred (D-Dallas), and 2018 Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, who once huddled amongst themselves to ...

“Texas Organizing Project wades into crowded Bexar DA race” San Antonio Report’s [ [link removed] ] Andrea Drusch, Diego Medel – The Texas Organizing Project (TOP) is wading into Bexar County’s crowded Democratic District Attorney primary race, endorsing James Bethke, who serves as director of Bexar County’s Managed Assigned Counsel Office.
The statewide progressive group is a formidable political ally with deep pockets, helping boost Joe Gonzales over then-incumbent Democrat Nico LaHood in 2018.
It’s also come under fire in recent years for its bail reform work, including posting bond for a man who went on to kill six people in Bexar County in 2023.
Gonzales’ connections to progressive justice reform groups dogged his time as DA and frequently made the office a target of Texas’ GOP leaders. A national group aligned with Democratic megadonor George Soros gave $1 million to his first campaign, and his office was later criticized for allowing the justice reform group Wren Collective tremendous access to their work.

“Cruz, Cornyn Bill Targets Repeat DUI Offenses by Illegal Aliens” The Texan’s [ [link removed] ] Matt Stringer – Both U.S. senators for the State of Texas say that more needs to be done when it comes to preventing those illegally present in the country from committing drunk driving offenses that result in serious injuries or death, and have filed joint legislation to address the issue.
Ted Cruz (R-TX) and John Cornyn (R-TX) announced their bill, dubbed the Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving Act, which would amend current law by making it an aggravated felony for any illegal alien to commit any level of offense related to driving under the influence that results in severe bodily harm or death.

“Hegseth stresses ‘technological supremacy’ during Starbase visit” MyRGV’s [ [link removed] ] Steve Clark – U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited Starbase Monday evening to give a speech as part of his “The Arsenal of Freedom” tour, which kicked off at a shipyard in Newport News, Va., on Jan. 5.
The Department of Defense said the month-long, multi-state tour is meant to promote a top DOD priority of “rebuilding the military by engaging with the (defense industrial base) at various stops throughout the country.”
Hegseth’s stop in the Rio Grande Valley comes on the heels of a Jan. 9 announcement from the U.S. Space Force that SpaceX had been awarded a $739 million contract to launch U.S. military satellites.
He was accompanied by Sen. John Cornyn, who was also with Hegseth for the secretary’s speech at Fort Worth’s Lockheed Martin plant earlier Monday. A number of other dignitaries were on hand at Starbase, including other Pentagon top brass, though...

“Dallas firms buy Uptown office with plans for $50 million hotel” Dallas Morning News’s [ [link removed] ] None – Two Dallas firms have purchased an Uptown office building with plans to build a $50 million hotel at the site.
Cawley Partners and Alamo Manhattan have acquired 2909 Cole Ave. The 27,000-square-foot office building will continue to operate under Cawley’s management before it is torn down. Alamo Manhattan is working with the city to rezone the site, Bill Cawley, Cawley Partners CEO, said Friday.
Dallas Central Appraisal District records show it was built in 1981. The district valued the property at roughly $3.8 million for tax purposes.
The sale price was not disclosed. Cawley said the group plans to spend $50.1 million on the development.
Construction is expected to start in 18 months. The hotel will have around 140 rooms, and Cawley said he’s in talks with two or three operators.
With the growth in Uptown, we think there’s a shortage of quality, moderately-p...
