Abbott directs state agencies to divest from investments originating from China | Texas
SUMMARY: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued multiple directives to prepare for the upcoming legislative session focusing on threats from China. One executive order aims to protect Texans of Chinese descent from CCP operatives, while another orders state agencies to prepare for potential attacks on critical infrastructure. Abbott emphasized the need for divestment from Chinese investments due to financial risks associated with CCP aggression. He called for immediate evaluation and divestment of state funds in China, fostering collaboration with other governors to encourage investment alternatives. These measures follow discussions by a select committee exploring foreign threats to Texas’ economy and security.

Here's why the city of Dallas wasn't held liable in the Botham Jean shooting
SUMMARY: A Supreme Court ruling from 1978, known as the Monell Doctrine, protects municipalities like Dallas from financial liability for employees’ unlawful actions, even in severe cases such as the killing of Botham Jean by former police officer Amber Guyger. The jury awarded Jean’s family $98.6 million—$38.6 million in compensatory damages and $60 million in punitive damages—while the city was granted immunity in the lawsuit, despite its role in hiring and training Guyger. This ruling creates high barriers for families pursuing claims against municipalities while highlighting disparities in accountability for wrongful actions by police officers.
The family’s attorney said the city should share in liability with Amber Guyger for hiring her and training her. However, the city filed a motion to be removed from the lawsuit, and it was granted. A Dallas appellate attorney explains why.
