The faces delivering the news across Central Texas are changing unusually fast, as a steady wave of anchors, reporters, sports journalists and meteorologists leaves local television. Recent departures have hit stations from Waco and Temple to Austin: some journalists are moving to larger markets in Washington, Milwaukee and California, while others, including veteran weather personalities, have decided to leave broadcasting altogether. The reshuffle comes as parts of the local TV industry are also dealing with company-wide layoffs, although not every departure is connected to cuts. For Central Texas viewers, switching on the evening news may increasingly come with a small surprise - figuring...

A solar-powered car that can generate more energy than it uses could be especially intriguing for sun-soaked Texas, where both solar power and electric vehicles are already part of the state’s rapidly changing energy landscape. Clemson University students working with BMW have built Luminetta, a 550-kg prototype covered with more than 1,700 photovoltaic cells that harvest electricity while driving or simply sitting in the sun. Modeling suggests that after a typical 20-km commute, its combination of solar generation, extreme weight reduction and regenerative braking could leave enough surplus energy for roughly 50 km of additional range on average. For Texas drivers accustomed to plenty of su...

A newborn’s severe heart condition has triggered a federal intervention in Texas over whether disability can influence decisions about life-saving care. The US Department of Health and Human Services warned Children’s Medical Center Dallas and UT Southwestern that federal civil-rights law prohibits denying medically appropriate treatment because of a disability, including decisions involving life support, as doctors determine care for baby Gabriel, who was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The case began after his intended parents allegedly asked surrogate McKenna West to terminate the pregnancy following the diagnosis; she refused, travelled to Texas to give birth, and state Attorn...

Across Texas, the rapid spread of automatic license plate cameras is turning a crime-fighting tool into a growing privacy debate. In Cooke County, North Texas, around 16 Flock cameras scan passing plates and can instantly alert police to vehicles linked to crimes or missing-person cases, helping a small sheriff’s department cover roughly 900 square miles. Sheriff Ray Sappington says every search is audited to prevent abuse, but concerns are already visible on the ground - one camera was knocked over, its solar panel smashed and its lens painted over. For Texas law enforcement, the cameras offer extra eyes on the road; for residents, the bigger question is how closely those eyes should be all...

A Texas job fair could turn a Friday morning into a fresh career opportunity for people looking for work in Lubbock. Goodwill’s Career Resource Center will host the hiring event on August 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., bringing together local employers including the City of Lubbock, Citibus, UMC Health System and Texas Tech hospitality services, with some prepared to interview candidates on the spot. Job seekers are encouraged to bring a résumé and arrive ready to talk to recruiters about available positions. For Texans hunting for their next paycheck, four hours and a good résumé might be all it takes to open a new door.

Even a small outdoor fire could now come with a $500 penalty in Fannin County as dangerously dry conditions raise fears of fast-moving grass fires. A countywide burn ban covers unincorporated areas and prohibits burning combustible materials, including in burn barrels, under an order issued on August 11 for seven days. Limited exceptions remain for authorised prescribed burns, certain public-safety and utility work, and welding or cutting performed under strict fire-prevention rules. Until conditions improve, the message is simple: what looks like a harmless flame can become a wildfire surprisingly quickly.

The morning commute in North Texas is about to get busier as thousands of children head back to school. With classes beginning August 12 in Bonham schools and at Morning Star Academy, drivers are being urged to leave a little earlier, slow down in school zones and watch carefully for young pedestrians, particularly around Center and Main streets, Highway 121 and FM 898. Officials are also reminding motorists that using a mobile phone while driving in a school zone is illegal. A few extra minutes on the road is a small price to pay for a safer first day back.

Austin’s shared e-bikes are finally rolling again after a fire knocked the service offline for nearly three months. CapMetro has restarted its bike-share network with around 150 electric bikes near downtown and the University of Texas campus, after a May fire caused roughly $159,000 in damage to batteries and charging infrastructure. The blaze has forced the operator to change how bikes are charged and moved around the city, but the fleet is expected to grow to 450–500 e-bikes by the end of the year. For Austin commuters, one of the city’s easiest first-and-last-mile options is back on two wheels.

What began as a trip to a state competition turned into an unexpected flood-relief mission for a youth group from East Texas. Members of Camp County 4-H became stranded in Concan after the Frio River rose rapidly and blocked roads, keeping them there for several days. Instead of simply waiting to leave, the group helped unload and distribute water and emergency meals delivered by helicopter to people affected by the flooding, earning official recognition from the Pittsburg City Council. Sometimes getting stuck in the wrong place can put you exactly where help is needed.

Electric scooters and e-bikes are about to slow down considerably in the heart of the University of Texas campus. Starting August 24, riders will have to dismount and walk their personal electric vehicles through a new pedestrian-friendly zone covering some of the busiest parts of campus, while regular bicycles and non-electric scooters remain exempt. The university says the change is aimed at improving safety and accessibility, alongside new designated parking areas, though some students argue that scooters are essential for getting around quickly in Austin’s intense heat. For thousands heading back to class, part of the daily commute will now have to happen at walking speed.
