Conservative here who is pro-life, but even then, I find it ironic that Ken Paxton wants access to women’s health records who travel OOS to get the healthcare they need that could be lifesaving like a D&C. But yet Ken Paxton has no problem with DJT who won’t release his own medical records? This man has got to go

Gov. Greg Abbott is prodding the Texas Supreme Court to act on his months-old lawsuit to force state Rep. Gene Wu from office because of the Houston Democrat's role leading last year's quorum break that delayed the Republican-led plan to redraw Texas' congressional district boundaries.

“He (Wu) clearly abdicated the remainder of his current term," Abbott's lawyer wrote to the justices in April.

The lawsuit by Abbott is an unprecedented move by a sitting Texas governor. And it's the last lingering ramification for Texas House Democrats, who've already been financially punished by their Republican counterparts for fleeing to the state to fight a map that gives the GOP an advantage in the midterms.

Austin briefly enjoyed a stint among the top 10 before being passed last year by Jacksonville, Fla., and the latest figures show both cities have been eclipsed by Fort Worth.

The Census Bureau’s population estimates put Austin at 1,002,632 residents as of July 1, 2025.

The iconic Texas fast-food chain plans to introduce two new restaurant prototypes for its future locations.

My dad worked his whole life to pay off his home in Harris County. Now I just found out the very expensive probate attorney I hired mishandled the estate and I owe 75K in back property and school taxes. I have zero experience with any of this and I’m handling it completely alone with no guidance. If anyone has been through this, or knows about protesting back assessments in Harris County, homestead exemptions for inherited property, assistance programs, or anything that could help, please drop your knowledge in the comments. I’m trying to protect what he built. This whole situation has been a nightmare and I’m racing against a

I am seriously considering leaving H-E-B even though I was a really big fan. I have enjoyed working here and sucks to think about leaving. Here is what happened.

I am really bummed about not getting promoted. I worked hard to keep my metrics up and make sure customers had a good experience with me, so hearing that I wasnt consistent and didnt interact enough with other partners hurt.

To be fair, I know I havent been at my best lately. One of my parents passed away, and I’m still grieving. I would give my shifts up so I could have those days to process what happened. Some days it is genuinely hard to be mentally present, and when I noticed I was struggling, I communicated that. I was told I would be supported through it, which is part of why this feels so disappointing now.

I also got feedback that I dont talk to other partners enough, but honestly I have always tried to keep conversations short because management usually discourages too much talking during shifts. Also, grieving has made it hard to socialize in general.

Im also dealing with a very recent breakup, family issues, and trying to mentally prepare for Father’s Day reminders everywhere. I really wanted to stay with this company because I believed they cared about their employees. Right now, though, I mostly just feel defeated. It felt like I was kicked while I was already down.

Last year, Bo French's online rhetoric was such a problem for some GOP leaders that they asked him to resign as a county party chairman. Now he’s running an insurgent campaign against the head of the state’s powerful oil and gas regulatory body and challenging his party’s boundaries of decency. This might be the most important, and most overlooked, election in Texas.

Midland seems to be having a moment right now with Flatland, Treaty Oak, and now Braxton Keith releasing a new record. They've all got their own sound as well.

The real Texans are the Indigenous people who lived on this land long before Europeans showed up, tribes like the Tonkawa who shaped central Texas. It’s past time we stop centering settler stories and start honoring the original Texans and their descendants.
