Senate GOP leaders spent months trashing Paxton. Can they turn the page and unify against Talarico?

May 2808:44 AM

ExxonMobil Receives Shareholder Approval for Texas Move

May 2808:36 AM
 

The approval comes after Attorney General Paxton filed a lawsuit against a shareholder advisory firm that attempted to discourage the move.  ExxonMobil investors have approved the company’s move of its legal domicile to Texas. The oil company’s proposal originally faced opposition from one of the largest shareholder advisory firms.  Texas sued Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) following its expressed disapproval of ExxonMobil’s plans to relocate.   Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued in the lawsuit filed last week that ISS used its influence over corporate shareholders “to advance ESG and diversity-focused political agendas rather than objective financial guidance.”  Paxton specifically pointed out ISS’s opposition to ExxonMobil’s plan for redomiciling in Texas as evidence for his accusations. view article  arw

UNT System Regents Approve Dozens of Tenure Applications Without Discussion

May 2808:02 AM
 

Regents of the University of North Texas System approved dozens of tenure applications, without public discussion, as part of their recent quarterly meeting.  The tenure applications cover all UNT institutions, with the bulk coming from the main campus in Denton. Supporting documents for these applications covered more than 30 percent of the 155-page agenda book for the meeting.  The applications were passed on the consent agenda. Consent agendas are a tool designed to allow governmental bodies to quickly move through non-controversial items but are frequently abused to hide controversial measures.  Texas Scorecard performed a basic search on these applications and found several with backgrounds in far-left “scholarship” covering areas like critical race theory and LGBT activism. Much of this material is also available in the regents’ agenda book. view article  arw

The Ongoing Legal Battles in Teen Transgender Cases

May 2805:00 AM
 

Parents who say they were separated from children for refusing to affirm transgender identity are still fighting states, and each other, in court.  Alexandra Lyaschenko hasn’t spoken with her teenage daughter in nearly two years.  In June 2024, she had been taking her daughter to see a therapist for her struggles with borderline personality disorder, hyperactivity, and trauma from bullying at school.  At first, Lyaschenko thought the therapist might be able to help with those issues.   Instead, according to Lyaschenko, that same therapist accompanied Child Protective Services on June 3 to take her daughter away from their home in Mt. Shasta, California.  “She left barefoot, and my husband did the talking, because I developed an immediate physical reaction,” Lyashcenko told The Epoch Times. view article  arw

Thomas Smith Wins Republican Nomination for Court of Criminal Appeals Place 3

May 2708:54 AM
 

Thomas Smith has won the Republican nomination for Court of Criminal Appeals Place 3 after defeating Alison Fox in Tuesday’s Primary runoff election. The CCA is Texas’ highest criminal appellate court.  The May 26 runoff followed the March 3 Primary in which none of the candidates secured more than 50 percent of the vote. Fox received 31.3 percent while Smith took 30.7 percent, forcing the two top vote-getters into Tuesday’s runoff.  Incumbent Judge Bert Richardson chose not to seek reelection to the statewide court, leaving the seat open. Richardson—who was first elected to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in 2014 and reelected in 2020—is instead running for Chief Justice of the Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio. view article  arw

Ag Commissioner Miller Calls for Data Center Pause

May 2708:41 AM
 

Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is urging a temporary halt on new hyperscale data centers, warning they are straining Texas’ power grid, water supplies, and rural communities.   Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has called for a pause on data center construction.  “It is time for a temporary moratorium on new hyperscale data center development in Texas until we fully assess the long-term impacts on our infrastructure, agricultural economy, and communities,” he stated.  Miller added that while Texans “champion growth, private enterprise, and innovation,” Texans also need to have “an honest conversation about the explosive growth of hyperscale data centers.”Miller cited usage of electricity, water, and land as primary concerns: “Many consume enough electricity to power entire towns. They draw massive volumes of water … Rural communities … now compete with corporate giants that can transform entire regions overnight.” view article  arw

What began as a rainy protest outside Lufkin City Hall turned into a tense council meeting Tuesday evening as frustrated residents repeatedly attempted to confront officials over proposed AI data center developments, only to be shut down due to rules restricting public comment to agenda items.  For weeks, concerns over possible AI-related projects at the former Southland Paper Mill and the long-idled Aspen Power plant have steadily spread across social media, public meetings and conversations. By Tuesday night, that frustration had finally reached council chambers.  What began as a protest outside city hall quickly escalated once residents entered the meeting, hoping to directly question city leaders about water usage, electrical strain, environmental impacts and whether discussions involving potential AI developments were already happening behind closed doors. view article  arw

Bo French Wins Republican Nomination for Railroad Commission

May 2708:30 AM
 

Incumbent Jim Wright loses after serving one term.   A majority of Republican Primary runoff voters chose Bo French over Jim Wright as the party’s nominee for the Texas Railroad Commission.  Both men were the top vote-getters in the March Primary, but Wright underperformed with just 32.1 percent of the vote. French won 31.8 percent. With neither scoring a majority in the five-way race, both were thrust into the May 26 runoff   Established in 1891, state law transitioned the Railroad Commission of Texas into a state agency with oil and gas oversight in 1917, with the last of its railroad oversight transferred to the Texas Department of Transportation in 2005. Currently, the Railroad Commission has primary regulatory jurisdiction and enforcement over the oil and natural gas industry and is responsible for both state and federal compliance. view article  arw

Former Houston City Council Member Letitia Plummer has defeated former Houston Mayor Annise Parker in the runoff race for Harris County Judge. Plummer, a Houston dentist and Democratic politician who served on Houston City Council representing At-Large Position 4 from 2020 through 2025, made history as the first Muslim woman elected to the council.  Early results showed Plummer and Parker neck and neck, but Plummer ultimately won with 51.13% of the votes, over Parker's 48.87%, according to Harris County election results.   Plummer's victory positions her as Democrats' nominee to replace outgoing Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo in November and signals that Harris County Democratic voters may be shifting toward a newer generation of leadership. view article  arw
