Texas to offer up to $5,000 reward for Tren de Aragua gang member arrests | Texas
SUMMARY: Texas has initiated a reward program offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrests of Tren de Aragua gang members after Governor Greg Abbott designated the gang as a foreign terrorist organization. Following numerous arrests and a lawsuit against an El Paso hotel for harboring gang members, Abbott emphasized the gang’s history of violence and criminal activity. Since fiscal 2021, around 856,000 Venezuelans, many of whom are considered potential gang affiliates, have crossed the border. Texans are urged to submit anonymous tips via the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline or online, with varying rewards for information related to other wanted individuals.

Did Arch Manning live up to the hype in his first UT start? | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: In his first start as quarterback for the University of Texas, Arch Manning drew mixed reviews. One analyst graded him a B+, praising his deep-ball accuracy and arm strength, noting improvement over previous quarterbacks. Another gave him a C+, comparing his performance unfavorably to his predecessor against UTSA. Both agreed that he showed promise, with flashes of talent but also faced typical freshman challenges, including poor decisions leading to interceptions. Arch’s athleticism and ability to throw deep were highlighted, leading to optimism about his growth. Texas dominated ULM, demonstrating their depth and talent, particularly with strong performances from both starters and backups.

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.
