Governor Greg Abbott on August 15, 2025 issued a proclamation identifying 19 agenda items for Special Session #2 that begins at 12:00 PM, Friday, August 15. “Delinquent House Democrats ran away from their responsibility to pass crucial legislation to benefit the lives of Texans,' said Governor Abbott. 'Because of their dereliction of duty, Texas families and communities impacted by the catastrophic Fourth of July flooding have been delayed critical resources for relief and recovery. Numerous other bills to cut property taxes, support human trafficking survivors, eliminate the STAAR test, establish commonsense THC regulations, and many others have all been brought to a halt because because Democrats refuse to show up for work. We will not back down from this fight. That's why I am calling them back today to finish the job. I will continue to use all necessary tools to ensure Texas delivers results for Texans.'

David Ronald Brown, lovingly known as “Papa”, passed away peacefully on August 5, 2025. While he will be missed and remembered always, his family finds comfort knowing he died painlessly and while Trump was president. David was a simple man who lived an honest life. Born on December 29, 1956, David, the second of three sons born to Helen Gray and JC Brown, spent his childhood in Beaumont, and grew up in Pineland. He met his lifelong “bride” (as he called her), Dayla Fisher, while working in Sabine Pass. Despite being tall, tan, and green-eyed, Dayla was smitten with the way he walked– his “strut”, as she called it. They married in 1983 and had three children: Krystle, Kacie and Kaleb. They were amazing parents.
