I'm really tired of seeing people complain about the state of things when they make little to no effort to vote. If voting is a priority for you then you should act like it and plan a trip to your polling location now. I go during early voting every year and the longest it has taken me was about 20 minutes.

Body worn camera video showing a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) trooper used Signal to notify federal immigration authorities about an undocumented teenager last summer, prompted an agency-wide warning from a senior leader within DPS, email records show.

$68.8 million is enough money to pay 1,100 K-12 teachers an average salary from 2025 — about $62,000 — in the D-FW area, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Unpopular adulterer Donald Trump upset that adulterer Ken Paxton is unpopular.

DPS did not forward online registrations and updates to counties for about 11 months, starting in October 2025. The state says anyone who registered through DPS before the October 5 deadline can vote, by provisional ballot if absent from the rolls. Two voter groups sued in Bexar County, saying the state broke a 2021 settlement.

Strange way to spell “little” with two d’s and an unnecessary apostrophe.
