“Exclusive: Texas teacher accused of molesting student was on ‘do not hire’ list” via San Antonio Express-News‘ Bayliss Wagner – Youths walk by the windows of the dining hall on their way to lunch in 2006 at the Giddings State School in Giddings, Texas. When one of their teachers was arrested and accused of repeatedly molesting an eighth-grade student last fall, Elgin school district officials expressed shock.
“Accusations such as these are concerning, and if proven to be true, unacceptable,” the Austin-area district told KVUE in November, noting they had moved quickly to assist police when the claims were made against Turran Fennix.
But it wasn’t the first time that Fennix, 34, had been accused of having inappropriate interactions with a child, according to records obtained by Hearst Newspapers. Two years earlier, Texas’ juvenile justice agency barred Fennix from future work in the system after he was caught giving a skin-to-skin back massage to a student in a dorm room, a clear policy violation. Administrators determined he should be fired for the incident, but allowed him to resign instead. Elgin Middle School hired him just a few months later.
Fennix’s previously unreported trajectory from the Texas Juvenile Justice Department to a middle school raises questions about how thoroughly Elgin vetted the employee and whether the state disclosed his full background. (SAEN)
“As the state targets cities over ICE policies, Austin considers next steps” via TPR‘s Mose Buchele – In some ways, Texas has provided a crystal ball for the rest of the country when it comes to immigration policy. Before the Trump administration poured billions into immigration enforcement and built partnerships between local police and state and federal immigration agents, Texas was already doing it. So, for those opposed to the deportation surge, Texas is worth paying attention to.
That was one of the takeaways from a panel Saturday at the KUT Festival. “Kristin Etter, the director of policy and legal services at the Texas Immigration Law Council, said, “Here in Texas, we have kind of a four- to five-year head start when it comes to the rest of the country. We have operated a program called Operation Lone Star that has used state resources. So we have a model here in Texas for this police/ICE collaboration.”
Another takeaway from the panel: In a state where much of the voting public and all state political leaders support aggressive immigration enforcement, opposition becomes local. In liberal Austin, local leaders have tried to craft policies that would limit police partnering with ICE, but the governor took notice and the Austin Police Department had to soften one policy under threat of funding cuts.
City Council Member Zo Qadri said Austin still has tools at its disposal “to make sure that folks are protected and are safe.” City Council Member José Velásquez pointed to millions in city funding for local immigration advocacy groups and the council’s support for Austin’s “safe to call” initiative as examples.

“Tornado in North Texas Destroys Several Buildings and Displaces Residents” via The New York Times‘s Jesus Jiménez – The whir of chain saws and the beeping of utility trucks were the most prominent sounds around Mineral Wells, Texas, on Wednesday afternoon, after a tornado the previous night ripped through a section of the city.
In one industrial sector of Mineral Wells, a town of about 15,000 residents west of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, roofs had been sheared off buildings and other structures had been reduced to piles of what looked like matchsticks. But the destruction appeared limited to an area of commercial properties that were largely empty.
Most residential homes in the area were unscathed, and no deaths were reported, though at least five people were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and many residents were displaced, city officials said.
Christopher Hester, 33, said that he was sitting in his living room with his wife on Tuesday afternoon when their front door suddenly burst open. He said they immediately took cover in the hallway of their home. (The New York Times)
“High gas prices eating into Texans’ budgets, fueling inflation” via The Texas Tribune‘s Paul Cobler and Colleen DeGuzman – The large signs outside of gas stations across Texas intended to catch drivers’ eyes are lately doing so for all the wrong reasons.
At a Valero gas station in Edinburg, Reynaldo Zarazoa, who installs tile for a living and has to haul tools and equipment around in his gray GMC pickup, watched Thursday as the display on the gas pump reached $78 — nearly a fifth of his weekly income.
“My work is cheap and the gas is expensive,” said Zarazoa, a father of two living in Peñitas, a small city in the Rio Grande Valley. “But I have to drive every day, every day for work.”
The price of fuel has risen significantly since the U.S.-Israel war on Iran began on Feb. 28, closing a key international shipping lane for oil and gas, the Strait of Hormuz. The average price for a gallon of gas in Texas was $2.55 in early February, according to AAA. It had risen to $3.78 on Wednesday morning. (TX TRIB)
“Court sides with ‘EPIC City’ developers over state agency in fair housing fight” via Dallas Morning News‘s Nick Wooten – “This ruling confirms what we have maintained from the beginning — that Community Capital Partners has been willing, ready, and committed to following Texas law at every step,” said Imran Chaudhary pictured above at the EPIC City project site outside of Josephine.
A Travis County judge has ordered a state agency to comply with the fair housing agreement it made with the developer of a Muslim-centric neighborhood in North Texas.
The Texas Workforce Commission must abide by the terms of a September 2025 settlement it reached with developer Community Capital Partners. The group is behind The Meadow, previously called EPIC City.
The 201st District Court issued the injunction Tuesday. A judge also denied the state’s request to dismiss the case on Wednesday, allowing Community Capital Partners’ lawsuit to move forward. (DMN)

“Republican Brett Ligon, former Montgomery County DA, wins special election for Texas Senate seat” via Texas Tribune’s Alejandro Serrano and Colleen DeGuzman – Brett Ligon, the Republican former district attorney of Montgomery County, won a special election Saturday for the state Senate district vacated by Brandon Creighton, who was tapped last year to be chancellor of the Texas Tech University System.
Ligon defeated Democrat Ron Angeletti, an educator and small-business owner who was the only other candidate on the ballot. The two are set for a rematch in November for a full four-year term. In the meantime, Ligon will serve the remainder of Creighton’s term, which runs until the start of the next legislative session in January.
“The voters of SD4 have delivered a clear message tonight. Conservative values and Republican dominance in Texas are alive and well,” he said in a statement declaring victory 25 minutes after polls closed. “Democrats from Texas and all over the country threw everything they had at us. Democrat politicians were here today in full force, campaigning hard for my opponent. As if we had been flying the ‘Come and Take It’ flag - they tried - and they failed.”
Senate District 4 - which spans across Chambers, Harris, Jefferson, and Montgomery counties - voted for President Donald Trump by a 34-point margin in 2024, making it one of the reddest seats in the upper chamber. It is considered a virtual lock for Republicans in November, even with midterm political headwinds that have left Democrats optimistic about flipping GOP legislative seats. (Texas Tribune)
“‘It’s a mess’: With no Trump endorsement in Texas Senate race, Cornyn and Paxton are locked in an expensive brawl” via CNN‘s Patrick Svitek – Nearly two months ago, President Donald Trump promised he would make an endorsement “soon” in the Republican primary runoff for US Senate in Texas. That endorsement still has not arrived — and its absence is keeping the race highly competitive.
Three people involved in the race said they no longer expected Trump to get involved in the battle between Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. However, they cautioned he could change his mind before the May 26 runoff, keeping both sides on edge in the final weeks.
While Democrats haven’t won statewide in Texas since 1994, they have a Senate nominee in state Rep. James Talarico who is energizing liberals ahead of the November midterms and raising massive sums. Republicans long wanted to avoid a damaging runoff that could make things easier for Talarico, in part by having Trump boost one candidate and pressure the other to back down.
Trump was likely to eventually endorse Cornyn after he and Paxton advanced from a March 3 primary, sources told CNN at the time. However, Trump grew frustrated after Republican operatives leaked his expected plans, the sources said. Trump also fielded calls from some of his most ardent supporters, pushing him not to endorse Cornyn and warning it would be a mistake with his “Make America Great Again” base. (CNN)
“Talarico leads Cornyn, Paxton in Senate matchups, UT poll finds” via Houston Chronicle‘s Benjamin Wermund – James Talarico, a Texas Democratic primary candidate for U.S. Senate, leads both Republicans vying to face him in the November U.S. Senate contest, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
Talarico led U.S. Sen. John Cornyn 40% to 33% in a potential matchup, and held a 42% to 34% advantage over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the University of Texas at Austin’s Texas Politics Project survey found. In both cases, 19% of voters said they were still undecided.
The results come as Paxton and Cornyn remain locked in a bitter primary runoff, and the pollsters said Talarico’s lead is likely due, at least partially, to the ongoing GOP battle. No Democrat has won a statewide election in Texas in three decades.
“While the Democratic candidate leading two established Republicans in these match-ups is sure to raise some eyebrows,” they wrote, the results “reveal a Republican electorate still registering the effects of the months-long, bruising, negative campaigning by Paxton and Cornyn, and the GOP divisions the race has exacerbated.” (HOU CHRON)
“TX-18 Democratic primary runoff: Christian Menefee vs. Al Green” via The Texas Tribune‘s Gabby Birenbaum – In this rare clash of sitting incumbents, Houston Democratic Reps. Al Green and Christian Menefee are squaring off after the Legislature consolidated their two Houston districts, both long represented by Black Democrats, into one during last summer’s redistricting.
The runoff pits the Texas delegation’s newest member, Menefee, 38, against one of its longest-tenured — the 78-year-old Green. With the two candidates largely aligned on policy, the race has turned on each of their fighting styles and whether voters prefer Green’s congressional experience and protests against Donald Trump or Menefee’s millennial energy and history of waging legal battles with Texas Republicans.
The two do have differing stances on cryptocurrency, with Green a skeptic and Menefee more willing to embrace the industry as it spends lavishly in support of his candidacy.
Texas’ 18th Congressional District has a majority Black voter population and is one of the deepest blue seats in Texas. Long a bastion of Black political power — past representatives include Barbara Jordan, Craig Washington and Sheila Jackson Lee — it was left without representation for nearly a year after Rep. Sylvester Turner died in office in March 2025. Menefee led the November special election and won the January runoff to finish out Turner’s term. (TX TRIB)

“Dan Patrick eyes closing ‘gambling loophole’ for prediction markets. The feds stand in Texas’ way.” via Texas Tribune’s Ayden Runnels – In March, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick directed state senators to explore ways to close “gambling loopholes” that allow online prediction markets to operate in Texas, raising concerns that state elections and sporting events could be manipulated for profit.
Patrick’s directive was the first time a state leader officially acknowledged the existence of rapidly growing prediction markets, which let users wager on outcomes tied to anything from the weather to election winners and sports scores.
Any attempts by the Texas Legislature to restrict prediction operators, however, would run into federal roadblocks as the Trump administration insists that oversight belongs to a U.S. agency, not the states.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has taken vigorous steps to retain exclusive regulatory oversight, suing to block five states from taking legal action against predictive markets, including a lawsuit filed Tuesday against Wisconsin. (KHOU)
“Future of Texas hemp uncertain in THC fight: ‘We’re all still very anxious and nervous’” via KXAN Austin‘s Adam Schwager – The immediate future of the Texas Hemp industry likely rests in the hands of Travis County District Court Judge Daniella Deseta Lyttle. The hemp industry has asked Judge Lyttle to grant a temporary injunction against the enforcement of new Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) rules — which they claim will shutter the industry. The rules first went into effect on March 31, but were later halted by a temporary restraining order which expires on May 1.
If Judge Lyttle grants the Texas hemp industry the injunction? “We’ll expand on our THC product line. We’re actually having a conversation about having a third location if this goes through,” Happy Cactus co-owner Todd Harris said. “We’re all still very anxious and nervous.”
If the order is denied it would result in skyrocketing licensure fees and the ban of intoxicating hemp flower, which Harris says makes up 70% of his sales. And instead of opening a new store, he might have to close one. “This [east Austin] location and how it survives and thrives is very much tied to how the injunction and what happens in that courtroom,” Harris said.
In the courtroom, the Texas Hemp industry called two witnesses to the stand: Galveston-county based hemp store operator Kenneth Burner, and Texas Hemp Business Council (THBC) Executive Director Mark Bordas. Burner, an Iraq veteran, highlighted his practice of employing those who’ve either served in the military or as a first responder. “Tells us something about their character right from the beginning,” he said.

“Commissioners accept financing deal for new baseball stadium that gives the county a park” via San Antonio Report‘s Shari Biediger – The decisions made during negotiations between Bexar County Commissioners and Missions baseball owners have been mostly behind closed doors — until now.
On Tuesday during Commissioner’s Court, the officials agreed to a kind of trade with Designated Bidders, revealing something of how that deal will be structured.
The agreement approved by commissioners gives the county two parcels of land for a park near the San Pedro Creek Cultural Park in exchange for restructuring the financing agreement it made with the team’s ownership group in 2024 to build a new downtown ballpark.
At the same time, county officials agreed to release its portion of the tax increment guarantee from the Houston Street Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone, which is estimated to make up 14% of the total ballpark project cost. (SA REPORT)

“Powerful North Texas transportation leader fired after 35 years on the job” via WFAA‘s Rachel Behrndt -- Michael Morris, a longtime regional official who oversaw hundreds of billions of dollars of transportation projects, was fired from his position after 35 years on the job, officials said.
The firing followed a months-long fight and a weeks-long court battle that pit two powerful government entities against each other over the firing and has now led TxDOT to propose a new agreement clarifying which group has the power to terminate the official, according to documents reviewed by WFAA.
Morris served as the Director of Transportation for the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for 35 years, according to a statement from the organization. His last day on the job was April 28, 2026, the statement reads.
“We are grateful for his more than 40 years of service to the region, including 35 years of leadership that helped shape one of the nation’s most dynamic transportation systems,” the statement reads. (WFAA)
“Dallas’ Highland Park votes to leave Texas’ second-largest public transit system” via The Texas Tribune‘s Joshua Fechter and Colleen DeGuzman — Dallas Area Rapid Transit, the state’s second largest public transit agency, fractured Saturday as voters in one suburb chose to leave the transit system.
Highland Park will pull out of DART, according to election returns Saturday. It’s the first time any city has pulled up its stake in the agency since 1989 when Flower Mound and Coppell opted to leave.
Voters in Addison and University Park also weighed in on proposals to leave the system but chose to remain in the agency. This leaves 12 cities connected through DART.
Nearly 70% of voters in Highland Park decided to discontinue DART in the town, according to final but unofficial returns. The result was mirrored in Addison, where 70% voted to remain connected to the system; University Park was more narrowly divided, with 54% voting to stay. (TX TRIB)
“After Austin train derailment, calls grow to move freight rail out of downtown” via Austin American-Statesman‘s Alex Driggars – A freight train derailment in downtown Austin last month is prompting Travis County Judge Andy Browwn to renew calls to move a major rail line out of the city’s urban core — a long-debated idea that has yet to gain traction.
Seven Union Pacific cars derailed early on April 23 as a 230-car train rounded a sharp curve near West Third and Bowie streets in the Seaholm District. No one was injured, but the incident snarled traffic for hours and delayed school bus routes in West Austin as crews worked to clear the scene.
The train was transporting “mixed commodities” rather than hazardous chemicals, but Brown — a longtime passenger rail advocate who oversees emergency management in his role as county judge — said the cars could just as easily have been carrying something far more dangerous, like chlorine.
“Chlorine can cause a cloud of chlorine gas, and that would be a horrible thing,” Brown said. “Just the fact that you’re potentially carrying hazardous chemicals right through this huge metro area with condos literally feet away from where this curve was is not great.” (AAS)
“Is APD really ‘quiet quitting’? Critics raise concerns as response times lag” via Austin American-Statesman‘s Austin Sanders and Karina Kumar – Last month, Austinites and officials alike heaped praise on the Austin Police Department after officers responded to a mass shooting on West Sixth Street in 57 seconds and took down the gunman minutes later.
The praise for the speedy response was rare for the Austin Police Department, which has struggled for years with slow response times and regularly faces online criticism and complaints. The rapid intervention also raised a question: Is the Police Department getting faster?
An American-Statesman analysis of median response times over the past decade shows that the swift reaction to the Buford’s Bar shooting was an outlier. Since 2017, response times – while seeing some improvement in the last year under Police Chief Lisa Davis – have lagged even as 911 call volumes have decreased.
The findings are reflected in public complaints. Since the city’s police oversight agency began categorizing grievances in 2022, the most common type has been “no assistance,” which includes slow responses and alleged no-shows. (AAS)
“A solar surge in Austin: New projects target reliability and climate goals” via Austin American-Statesman‘s Chaya Tong – Austin is betting on solar power as it confronts a growing energy crunch, approving a slate of projects aimed at boosting local generation and cutting reliance on the broader ERCOT grid.
The City Council recently approved three proposals designed to expand that local capacity: a new solar facility on a closed city landfill, solar installations across city facilities and negotiations for up to 40 megawatts of battery storage in partnership with local manufacturer Base Power, Inc.
Austin Energy spokesperson Matt Mitchell said the initiatives would add about 78 megawatts of capacity — enough energy to power nearly 20,000 homes for a year — and the agreement with Base Power offers comparable value to the 100 megawatt Jupiter battery contract the council approved last July.
Mitchell said the utility was already 73% carbon-free last year, offsetting 65% of customer demand, and argued that expanding local generation helps stabilize costs by reducing the need to import power during extreme weather and peak demand. (AAS)
“San Antonio psychiatric hospital laying off nearly 650 employees” via San Antonio Express-News‘s Lily O’Neill – Laurel Ridge Treatment Center on the far North Side plans to lay off 648 employees starting in June, after the federal government terminated its Medicare and Medicaid coverage.
After losing its Medicare and Medicaid funding, San Antonio’s Laurel Ridge Treatment Center is planning to lay off hundreds of employees.
“As a result of this regulatory action, we must implement a workforce reduction,” Ashley Sacriste, CEO of Laurel Ridge, said in a statement.
The hospital is “deeply disappointed by this outcome and recognizes the significant impact it will have on our dedicated team members and the communities we serve,” she added. (SAEN)
“A Houston ISD exec tapped for Beaumont schools superintendent during its second state takeover” via The Texas Tribune‘s Sneha Dey – Texas officials again tapped a Houston schools administrator to helm a state takeover, this time for Beaumont ISD.
Sandi Massey is the new state-appointed superintendent of Beaumont ISD as the district has struggled with years of poor academic performance. Massey comes from the nearby Houston ISD, where she was the chief of schools during a takeover that has been controversial among parents but lauded among state leaders.
“I know what it takes to transform a district,” Massey said at a press conference Wednesday. “I am ready to do it here in Beaumont and make this city the best instruction you’ve ever seen.”
Massey is the third Houston schools official tapped in recent weeks to help shepherd a state takeover. Texas Education Agency commissioner Mike Morath appointed Ena Meyers, who was a Houston ISD chief, as superintendent of Lake Worth ISD last week. And Peter Licata, on his first day on the job as the state-appointed superintendent of Fort Worth ISD, hired another Houston ISD chief Daniel Soliz as his deputy. (TX TRIB)

“D-FW’s GameStop bids $56 billion to buy iconic internet auctioneer eBay” via Dallas Morning News‘s Brian Womack – GameStop is proposing to acquire eBay in a deal that would bring one of the bigger names in Internet history under a North Texas-based company.
The Grapevine-based retailer said it submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire the Silicon Valley e-commerce company for $125 per share, according to a GameStop statement. The aggregate undiluted equity value is approximately $55.5 billion.
The proposed offer is comprised of 50% cash and 50% GameStop common stock. The North Texas company has built a 5% economic stake in eBay through derivatives and beneficial ownership of stock.
GameStop — known in some circles more for its “meme stock” days and a push into Bitcoin — could be making a significant move with the proposed acquisition. The company, which has been shuttering stores where it sells video games, consoles and collectibles, saw its sales decline in the previous fiscal year though it swung to an operating income from a loss.
