Angel mom to Allred: Political gain narrative a ‘slap in the face’ | Texas
SUMMARY: A Houston mother, Alexis Nungaray, criticized U.S. Rep. Colin Allred for his policies, which she claims contributed to her daughter Jocelyn’s murder by illegal immigrants. In a campaign ad, she highlighted how the “catch and release” policy led to her daughter’s death after the perpetrators were released shortly before the crime. Allred, responding to accusations that he was exploiting her tragedy for political gain, expressed a lack of condolences for her loss and reiterated his stance on immigration reform. Nungaray defended her advocacy, stating she speaks for her daughter, emphasizing her goal to end policies she believes endanger lives.

Texas sues over lizard, wins latest round in nearly 10-year battle over warbler | Texas
SUMMARY: Texas has filed a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris administration for classifying the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard as an endangered species, arguing it violates the Endangered Species Act. The state contends that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) relied on flawed data and ignored successful conservation efforts by ranchers and the oil and gas industry. Attorney General Ken Paxton claims the classification undermines Texas’ economic development and is politically motivated. Additionally, Texas recently won a legal battle over the Golden-Cheeked Warbler designation, which had restricted property use and property values in Central Texas since 1990, reinforcing the need for USFWS to adhere to federal law.

Fort Worth ISD superintendent's contract under review
SUMMARY: The Fort Worth ISD School Board may decide today on Superintendent Dr. Angelica Ramsay’s contract amid community criticism over declining accountability ratings and STAR test results. The district’s scores dropped from a B in 2022 to a C, now trailing behind Dallas ISD by 11 percentage points and Houston ISD by 14. Last week, many community leaders expressed concerns about leadership accountability during a meeting. Ramsay, who has been in her position for two years and earns over $330,000 annually, is seen by some as receiving unfair criticism. The board meeting begins tonight at 5:30 p.m. at the Fort Worth ISD Service Center.
The Fort Worth Independent School District is once again discussing the superintendent’s job. Dr. Angelica Ramsey’s performance is under review as members of the community call for change.
