Harris County DA Kim Ogg announced Thursday that she is referring the criminal case against three former Hidalgo aides to the office of Texas AG Ken Paxton, the latest development in a case that has shadowed the county judge for the past two years. bit.ly/4aQqmN5
Black people who give birth in the U.S. are at least 3x as likely to face pregnancy-related complications than their white counterparts. In Harris County, the risk is even greater. If that’s been your reality, we would love to hear from you: bit.ly/4bfjXuW
The Metro Latino GDP Report found that Latinos in Greater Houston contributed $139.5 billion, or 25 percent of the overall local economy, outpacing their counterparts. bit.ly/4aYxGGM

A Fort Bend mayor received a campaign flyer from a rival. Then it was lit on fire. The flyer's fiery demise was one of several unusual and alarming political incidents in this normally quiet town south of Houston. bit.ly/4d9Vito
Diversity is essential to Texas' native coastal ecosystem, but human activity has decimated native grassland. Now, seeds from Nash Prairie and other preserves are being reintroduced across the area, giving hope for a new ecological future in Houston. bit.ly/44hXfjb
"This is the state once again trying to bully Harris County." Amid a brewing legal battle over Harris County's guaranteed income program, Texas lawmakers are bringing politics into the matter. New from @PaulCobler: bit.ly/3JA4slb

Spring Branch ISD is slashing $35 million in spending next year by turning to an unusual method to raise money — transfer students. The "Trailblazers" program will randomly accept 150 out-of-district students who apply and pay a $250 fee. bit.ly/4baq6s9
Are Houston’s immigration courts becoming more child-friendly? Advocates say not enough. bit.ly/3QdTg1v

A state appeals court ruled yesterday that Houston must spend the money it collects for a special road and drainage fund on those purposes alone. This would mark a win for residents, but could blow a hole in the city budget for Mayor John Whitmire. bit.ly/4bbsm2u
Harris County has had the highest Black maternal death rates in the U.S. for years. A new report examines why. Experts say identifying barriers to health care is the first step to turning things around. bit.ly/4d1M4z8
A plan to extend parking meter times was killed at yesterday as the Houston City Council debated how members can use their new power to add items to the agenda. bit.ly/4aOcx1F
