Residents of Montgomery County subdivision are worried about erosion caused by underground water
SUMMARY: In Montgomery County, homeowners in the Fairwater subdivision face severe erosion issues that threaten their properties. After moving into their home, Kenneth and Katherine Ral Huber noticed their backyard disappearing due to ground erosion, which has left their house appearing perched on a cliff. Despite the state‘s water development board finding no record of any natural springs nearby, locals report unusual water flows in storm drains and manholes even during dry spells. The Municipal Utility District is working on a retaining wall to address the Ral Hubers’ situation, acknowledging the ongoing mystery of the underground water source affecting multiple homes.
Kenneth and Katherine Ridlehuber moved into their dream house in Fairwater two years ago. Then something strange started happening.

The Robert Roberson story: Death row inmate spared execution with 11th hour stay
SUMMARY: Robert Robertson was wrongfully convicted of killing his daughter, Nikki, in 2002, based on the now-discredited shaken baby syndrome. Robertson, who only discovered he had autism during his incarceration, insists he loved his daughter and denies any abuse. Leading figures, including former detective Brian Wharton, now believe Robertson is innocent, asserting that Nikki likely died from pneumonia and inadequate care. A bipartisan group of Texas lawmakers, alongside the Innocence Project, are advocating for clemency and a reexamination of the case due to flawed science. A recent stay of execution allows for a hearing, where Robertson will testify about his wrongful conviction.
Robert Roberson was scheduled to be executed Thursday, but a bipartisan group of lawmakers set a legal chain of events in motion that led to a stay of execution.

Texas death row inmate Robert Roberson will testify IN PERSON before lawmakers Monday
SUMMARY: Robert Robertson, a death row inmate convicted of the 2002 shaken baby death of his daughter, will testify at the Texas Capitol, marking an unprecedented event as he near execution. A last-minute Texas Supreme Court ruling delayed his execution and allowed lawmakers to intervene, citing concerns over the validity of evidence used in his conviction. This case highlights bipartisan efforts to challenge the state‘s “junk science” law, which permits prisoners to contest convictions based on new scientific evidence. Lawmakers and advocates hope for a new trial, while the District Attorney’s Office has not commented on potential next steps.
Texas death row inmate Robert Roberson escaped execution Thursday night and on Monday, he will be out of prison for the day to testify before the very lawmakers who literally saved his life, at least temporarily.

Twice-deported burglary ring leader sentenced to 37 years
SUMMARY: Sergio Cardinas Selenas, a 30-year-old Honduran man who has been deported twice, has been sentenced to 37 years in prison for leading a burglary operation in Collin County. Responsible for targeting immigrant families, particularly those of South Asian descent, he believed they kept valuable items and cash in their homes. His crew, composed of members from Central and South America, victimized ten families, stealing around $20,000 in one instance. Arrested in September, Cardinas Selenas is the first of the nine suspects to be convicted, raising concerns about the exploitation of vulnerable immigrant communities.
The twice-deported head of a burglary ring could spend nearly four decades behind bars. Prosecutors said he targeted members of the Collin County immigrant community because he believed they kept more gold, jewelry, and cash in their homes.
