Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in support of film incentives bill in Texas | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson supported a Texas film incentives bill during a committee hearing on SB22, which aims to revamp the Texas Moving Image Incentive Program. The legislation proposes to allocate $500 million every two years, arguing that $469 is spent in the state for every dollar granted. McConaughey emphasized the importance of training a local workforce through partnerships with community colleges to sustain a film industry in Texas. By developing infrastructure and job training, Texas could attract productions and compete with states like Georgia and New Mexico, creating a self-sustaining film industry.

Actors Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson testified before the Senate Finance Committee in support of legislation to beef up an incentive plan for the entertainment industry.

Parents file criminal complaints against Houston ISD officials after failed $4 billion bond
SUMMARY: Parents of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) have filed criminal complaints following the failure of a $4 billion bond measure. The complaints are focused on HISD’s actions surrounding the bond election last November, including the allocation of $2 million for campaign consulting, which parents claim violated Texas election laws. Investigations revealed videos advocating for the bond, which could lead to misdemeanor charges. Nine parents have filed complaints with the Harris County District Attorney’s office. While some have received confirmation of the investigation, others await a response. HISD has not commented on the matter.

It was in early February that KPRC 2 Investigates first exposed potential electioneering by the Houston Independent School District during last year’s controversial bond election.
Now, more parents are coming forward and filing criminal complaints with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
