SUMMARY: An Austin woman, Alexis Pratchett, who is transgender, faced an unexpected issue when updating her passport to reflect her new last name. After delays in her application, she received a passport with her former gender marker. Pratchett had previously corrected her gender on official documents and provided a court order for her name change, which did not include a gender marker change. She expressed concern over the potential risk and confusion this discrepancy could cause, especially during international travel. Lambda Legal recommends transgender individuals avoid changing passports for now, amid ongoing legal challenges to the Trump administration’s policies.

SUMMARY: Houston city leaders are focusing on homelessness, with around 3,000 people potentially sleeping on the streets across Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties. The City Council will vote on nearly $2.6 million in grants aimed at addressing this issue, part of Mayor Whitmire’s initiative to combat homelessness. Proposed measures include preventing families experiencing domestic violence from becoming homeless and establishing an “End Street Homelessness Fund.” Notably, nearly half of those in a local homeless facility are children. Organizations like the Salvation Army and Star of Hope play key roles in providing necessary services and support to vulnerable populations.

Houston City Council will vote on eight separate measures involving homelessness. KPRC 2’s Rilwan Balogun breaks it all down for us.

SUMMARY: Luka Dončić struggled from three-point range in his first game against the Dallas Mavericks since being traded, hitting only one triple in the first quarter. His emotions were evident, staring down the Dallas bench and later embracing his former teammates. Dončić admitted to sleeplessness before the game, and coach J.J. Redick acknowledged his nerves. Despite shooting struggles (1-for-7 from three), he posted a triple-double in a 107-99 win. Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 35 points. Dončić reflected on the emotional difficulty of leaving Dallas, while Mavericks GM Nico Harrison watched courtside. Anthony Davis hopes to return for the rematch.
