.@RoyceWestTX on what policies he would like to see come out of the national uprising over racism and police violence: “We should not have 50 states with 50 different laws on when a police officer can use deadly force.”

Watch:

In Texas’ biggest purple county Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare is creating a playbook for local governing. From cutting social services to changing election rules, the far-right republican has pushed his agenda with an uncompromising approach.
Over the past two decades, O’Hare methodically amassed power in North Texas as he pushed incendiary policies such as banning undocumented immigrants from renting homes and vilifying school curriculum that encouraged students to embrace diversity.
He rode a wave of conservative resentment, leaping from City Council member of Farmers Branch, a suburb north of Dallas, in 2005 to its mayor to the leader of the Tarrant County Republican Party.

Here’s what we know so far.

2/ Included in the 3,760 pages are 150 exhibits. These documents give granular details of how Paxton allegedly abused his office to help Austin real estate developer Nate Paul.

This is what they show:

3/ 📃In an interview, Paxton’s former personal aid said he ferried documents to Paul on Paxton’s behalf and witnessed conversations about the renovations to Paxton’s home that suggested Paul had paid for it.

1/ Over the past quarter century, a war machine was constructed inside the Texas Office of Attorney General, designed to push conservative legal doctrine through the courts.

Here’s how Texas got here — and what it means for the country's future. bit.ly/3KjCMC1
2/ Under three attorneys general, John Cornyn, Greg Abbott, and Ken Paxton, the office began assembling an all-star team to barrage the federal courts with state-funded lawsuits born of increasingly overt right-wing activism. bit.ly/3KjCMC1
3/ In 1998, John Cornyn became the first Republican attorney general in Texas since Reconstruction.

One of his first acts was creating the Office of the Solicitor General to handle state and federal appeals, all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. bit.ly/3KjCMC1

1/On May 24, 2022, 19 children and two teachers were killed in the Robb Elementary shooting.

The shooting also caused emotional and psychological damage to a generation of children in Uvalde. The Treviños are one of many families adapting to a new reality.texastribune.org/2023/05/22/tex…
2/ Three of the Treviños’ kids — Austin, Illiaña and David James — have been diagnosed with PTSD.

The kids attended Robb Elementary and were on campus on May 24 for an awards ceremony. Their mom, Jessica, picked them up from school shortly before the shooting began. A girl sits in a chair hold...
3/ Illiaña’s best friend was killed during the shooting. While visiting her friend’s memorial, Illiaña suffered cardiac arrest from acute stress.

“Nana was born with a heart of gold. So when it breaks, that’s how she reacts,” her mom Jessica says. Mementos hang from a memori...

1/ Officers responding to the Uvalde shooting said they were afraid to immediately engage the gunman because he was using an AR-15, a Texas Tribune investigation has revealed.

This drove their decision to wait over an hour for a Border Patrol SWAT team. bit.ly/40lOYHX
2/ In never before released body camera footage and post-action interviews, officers described realizing the gunman had an AR-15 style rifle and concluding that confronting him would be too dangerous because of its firepower. bit.ly/40lOYHX “We weren’t equipped to make entry into that room withou
3/ Even though some officers were armed with the same rifle, they waited for a Border Patrol SWAT team that had more protective armor, stronger shields and more tactical training.

Bullets from AR-15s can penetrate standard body armor worn by police. bit.ly/40lOYHX

Many of the beloved trees across Texas’ Hill Country snapped under the weight of heavy ice that accumulated during multiple days of freezing rain this week.

They frequently damaged power lines, homes, and property on their way down.

texastribune.org/2023/02/02/cen…
Ice can increase the weight of tree branches up to 30 times, according to Kerri Dunn, a communications manager for Oncor.

Some trees, like live oaks and ashe junipers, are also more likely to have broken limbs or split trunks in an ice storm.

texastribune.org/2023/02/02/cen…
While the historic drought last summer may have caused trees to have more dead limbs than usual, experts say it probably had less of an impact than the sheer amount of ice.
