Travis County must release records to FOX 7 Austin after ruling | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Texas has robust laws mandating open meetings for public entities. The Texas Attorney General has accused the Travis County Commissioners of violating these laws during a March 19 meeting regarding a $15,000 budget adjustment for security enhancements, which was discussed in executive session. A public information request by Fox 7 sought details about the funding‘s purpose, but the county withheld information citing potential threats to officials‘ safety. The AG criticized the county for concealing decisions and lacking transparency. After another vote for $115,000 in security funding, the AG ruled that the county must release the requested information, which they have yet to do.

Texas Secretary of State, US Department of Justice on opposing sides ahead of Election Day
SUMMARY: Texas is firmly opposing the federal government ahead of election day, with the U.S. Department of Justice announcing plans to send monitors to oversee voting rights in Texas and 27 other states. Early voting in Bexar County has reached record numbers, with over 570,000 votes cast. The Texas Secretary of State‘s office asserts that federal monitors cannot enter polling places or ballot counting stations, citing state election laws. This stance aligns with previous elections, where federal monitors were also not permitted. The outcome of this conflict between state and federal oversight remains uncertain.
With just a couple of days until Election Day, Texas and the United States Department of Justice are butting heads over who can and cannot be inside a polling location legally.

Daylight Saving Kids Health
SUMMARY: Daylight Saving begins tomorrow, potentially disrupting sleep schedules and health, especially for children and pets. Dr. Don Alvarez suggests that younger kids may struggle more with the time change due to sleep cycle disruptions, leading to irritability and concentration issues. To ease the transition, parents should begin adjusting bedtimes and nap times 4-5 days before the change, moving sleep routines gradually by 15-minute increments. Post time change, shifting bedtimes earlier by 30 minutes for the following week can help. Additionally, exposure to natural daylight supports circadian rhythms and can aid in adjustment.

Daylight Saving time can have a major effect on the body when it comes to getting adjusted to the time change. Dr. Adan Alvarez joins us on the best ways to deal with time change and how to adjust to new times.
