Police Chief Eddie Garcia reaches deal to stay in Dallas: ‘Home equals Dallas PD’
SUMMARY: Dallas police chief Eddie Garcia has signed a deal to remain in his position until at least mid-2027. His base salary will remain $306,000 with a retention bonus and other incentives included. The agreement comes after speculation that other Texas cities were interested in hiring him. Garcia's leadership has been credited with reducing crime and improving morale within the department since his arrival in 2021. The city's police unions showed strong support for Garcia, leading to negotiations for the new deal. In the agreement, Garcia will receive a year's salary if he is fired, but not if he resigns or is convicted of a felony. The city also agreed that Garcia will assist in selecting his successor. Discussions are underway to potentially put future police chiefs under contract.
In a short and simple post to social media, Chief Garcia wrote “Home = Dallas PD,” solidifying his commitment to staying in Dallas.

Hays County district clerk resigns | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Avery Anderson, elected at 19, faced numerous issues during his tenure, including failing to send jury summons, subpoenas, and protective orders. Attorneys Khloe Love and Thomas filed a lawsuit to remove him in September 2023, citing widespread concerns about his competence. In February, a judge found Anderson incompetent. A hearing was held last month to consider his temporary removal, but Anderson resigned instead, avoiding a potentially embarrassing trial. He denied incompetence in his resignation letter, attributing his errors to inexperience. District Attorney Kelly Higgins welcomed the resignation, anticipating better collaboration moving forward. Angela Shen reported for Fox 7 Austin News.

Anthony Yanez concerned as Hurricane Beryl keeps moving right
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Anthony provides an update on Hurricane Barrel, which is nearing northern Mexico with a well-defined eye, moving West Northwest at 15 mph and winds at 65 mph. Expected to intensify, it’s shifting rightward, affecting Corpus Christi less and potentially hitting Matagorda Bay directly by Monday. A hurricane watch is in effect from Matagorda County to South Texas, with storm surges from three to five feet. Concerns stem from potential rightward movement towards Southeast Texas, not stalling like Harvey in 2017. Models show varying impacts, but significant rainfall (up to 7 inches) is expected in Southeast Texas, with flooding risks on Monday and Tuesday.
