2025 PN-G Indians.
Cleveland has grown faster than it can manage. So has Liberty County. It's a growing problem. (No pun intended.) One of the legal frameworks we use in the water law space to accommodate rapid suburban growth in previously rural areas is being broadened this session to include additional... -
2025 PN-G Indians.
Over the last few years, I've noticed it becoming increasingly common for people from North and Central Texas to discuss the Golden Triangle as though it's part of the Houston area. It might be because they don't know their geography. It may also be a function of the Houston suburbs starting to... -

Doesn’t Huntsville have a new coach? Big variable there. -
Liberty Hill
Diluted talent pool but no signs of the growth in the student population slowing down. Mark my words, 6A is on the horizon for Liberty Hill. -

It wouldn't matter. The front door has a 2' x 4' glass pane down the middle of it.- bandkid

2025 Baseball
My folks live across the street from the baseball and softball fields. That MCM game that PN-G won 6-5, my dad told me they sold out the stadium and had people backing up to the fenceline around the diamond to watch while standing on top of the tailgates of their trucks. In 27 years of seeing...- bandkid

Texas HB 619/Transfer for Athletic Purpose
The posting for the May 6 hearing of the House Committee on Public Education is now online. House Bill 619 is not on it. You can consider this bill indisputably dead. -
Texas HB 619/Transfer for Athletic Purpose
I’m guessing you’re referring to Senate Bill 30. I haven’t covered the Senate Committee on State Affairs in several years. I’m not familiar with the details. The only liability bill I’m involved with this session is Senate Bill 1399, which will ultimately pass as House Bill 49. I actually wrote... -
Texas HB 619/Transfer for Athletic Purpose
Chairman Buckley's office has posted the notice for the House Committee on Public Education's hearing next week. House Bill 619 is not on the notice. -
Texas HB 619/Transfer for Athletic Purpose
A general law passed to enrollment by the Legislature may not take effect earlier than 90 days after the adjournment of the session during which the bill proposing the law was enacted unless the Legislature directs otherwise via some measure adopted by a two-thirds vote in both chambers. Tex... -
Texas HB 619/Transfer for Athletic Purpose
Guys, it's April 22. There are 41 days left in this session. House Bill 619 has been sitting in committee for over six weeks and hasn't even gotten a hearing yet. There have been no floor votes--it hasn't passed either chamber. At this point in the session, chances are it's dead as a doorknob. -

Groves
The incident with the developer I'm referring to occurred around 1960. I have no idea whether the story about the oil well is accurate, but there is definitely oil under Port Neches and Groves. If memory serves, that's how the Heberts struck it rich. Friends in the oil and gas business tell me...- bandkid

Groves
It’s accurate. Something similar occurred with the neighborhood next to the old Taft Elementary site in the ‘60s. Groves tried to jack up the cost of running water and sewer at the last second when it was under construction, thinking the developer wouldn’t have a choice but to pay and not...- bandkid
