1/ A judge told Texas to give some inmates air conditioning.

But lawyers say prison officials are violating that order. #txlege

bit.ly/30ZgexP
2/ The lawyers representing inmates in a long and costly legal battle over a lack of air conditioning in Texas prisons claimed the state continues to jeopardize the lives of some of the nearly 900 inmates a judge ruled must be kept in cool temperatures. bit.ly/30ZgexP
3/ Lawyers also accused the agency of hiding multiple instances of noncompliance with the court order. bit.ly/30ZgexP

1/ Until now, it was nearly impossible for voters to estimate how much state Sen. Royce West made from his private business interests.

But his U.S. Senate run means the public can now get a better look at his considerable wealth. #txlege #tx2020

2/ For years, West has raked in millions in legal fees representing various governmental entities and major Texas cities.

Some say he is using his influence as a state lawmaker to score business deals that average citizens can’t get. #tx2020

3/ According to a Texas Tribune analysis of a recent U.S. Senate disclosure, the Wests have assets worth between $8.7 million and $28 million.

+ 22 others were injured
+ The @WSJ, citing law enforcement, has identified the shooter as 36-year-old Seth Ator

@WSJ Just as he'd done after the El Paso shooting, Gov. Greg Abbott flew to West Texas and offered words of sympathy and promises to take action.

"We know that words alone are inadequate. Words must be met with action." bit.ly/2zN6YAB
@WSJ "I have been to too many of these events. I am heartbroken by the crying of the people of the state of Texas. I am tired of the dying of the people of the state of Texas. Too many Texans are in mourning." — @GregAbbott_TX bit.ly/2zN6YAB
