SUMMARY: The White Settlement Police Department and federal investigators are investigating sightings of drones in no-fly zones near military properties, including a formation of six drones. Multiple residents and officers reported seeing the drones, which were estimated to be 100-200 feet above the ground near military installations. The incidents, occurring in a no-fly zone, are concerning due to potential threats like improper intelligence gathering. The FBI is involved, and authorities are seeking tips on who is responsible. Chief Cook emphasized that operating drones near federal properties without proper FAA authorization is illegal and can result in criminal or civil penalties.

White Settlement police say they are working with the FBI, and other federal investigators to learn more about possible drone sightings within the city.

SUMMARY: A hydrogen fueling dispenser at the University of Texas at Austin’s J.J. Pickle Research Campus is the least busy gas station in Texas, as only one person can use it. The “hydrogen proto-hub” studies hydrogen production and use, including fueling hydrogen-powered vehicles. Texas is a global leader in hydrogen production, used in industries like petrochemicals. The hub uses renewable energy for hydrogen production via water electrolysis and methane reformation. The facility provides clean power to a nearby supercomputer. A state policy report highlights the need for infrastructure and innovation to support hydrogen’s growth, forecasting significant economic benefits.

SUMMARY: Several agencies held a press conference addressing the urgent safety crisis on the Grand Parkway (Highway 99), which has seen over 2,200 crashes this year, prompting law enforcement to take action. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez announced initiatives to improve safety, including traffic stops, speed detection, and public service announcements. A special task force, comprising Harris County, Fort Bend County, and the Texas Department of Public Safety, has been created to tackle the issue. A grieving father, who lost his daughter in a crash, supports the initiative and has founded the Kayy Mills Foundation to raise awareness about seat belt safety.

The task force is working to make Highway 99, also known as the Grand Parkway, safer.
