Attorneys representing families of Astroworld Festival victims are less than pleased about rapper Travis Scott's offer to cover funeral costs for the deceased.
chron.com/news/houston-t…
"It's bulls--t," Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee said.
chron.com/news/houston-t…
"If you gave a s--t about these families you wouldn't have to put out a press release for everyone to see saying he's willing to pay for a funeral. Let the families grieve and shut up, that's it."

Three days after the crowd surge at his Nov. 5 concert that resulted in the deaths of 10 concert-goers and injuries to hundreds, Scott announced he would pay for victims' funerals.

More than 120 lawsuits have been filed against Scott and Astroworld organizers in Harris County district courts since the deadly event.

Total damages sought by victims exceed $3 billion, according to @TexasLawbook's Mark Curriden.

Do you think Travis Scott's offer to cover the cost of the funerals is disingenuous?
"Whatever we get from him we're going to get through the court system." Buzbee also said.

Hulu has removed the 50-minute ABC News documentary covering November's Astroworld Festival tragedy.
chron.com/news/houston-t…
The ABC News special "Astroworld: Concert from Hell" first aired on the Disney-owned streaming platform Tuesday, less than a month after a deadly crowd surge during the concert's opening night claimed the lives of 10 attendees and left hundreds injured. chron.com/news/houston-t…
As of Thursday the documentary is no longer accessible on the platform but is still available on @abc13houston's website.

While the U.S. Supreme Court weighs whether to uphold Texas' six week abortion ban, another measure further restricting abortions has quietly taken effect in the Lone Star State.
chron.com/politics/artic…
Starting Thursday, a new law in Texas prohibits the use of abortion-inducing medication after seven weeks of pregnancy.
chron.com/politics/artic…
Senate Bill 4, signed by @GovAbbott on Sept. 24, also bans such pills from being delivered "by courier, delivery, or mail service" to anyone residing in Texas, according to the bill summary.

As the Supreme Court hears arguments on Dobbs v. Jackson Wednesday, questions lingers as to whether the landmark case Roe v. Wade case would be overturned as result of the proceedings.
chron.com/politics/artic…
In June, Texas enacted House Bill 1280, a measure that serves essentially as a "trigger" law which would automatically ban all abortions in the state if Roe vs. Wade is overruled by the Supreme Court.

It's not uncommon to see Drake sitting courtside at an NBA game.

It is, however, a little odd to see the Toronto rapper in Oklahoma City on a random Wednesday night to see two of the worst teams in the league.
chron.com/sports/rockets…
But that's where he was — sitting next to longtime friend Mark Robinson — across from the Thunder bench at the Paycom Center as the Rockets, who are 5-16, won their fourth straight game, beating the Thunder 114-110.

Drake didn't have a show in Oklahoma. He was there for someone.

chron.com/news/houston-t…
"The previous design was flawed," Harris County Toll Road Authority executive director Roberto Trevino told Begley.
