- JOAQUIN — The ground is swelling under a small East Texas town along the state border, where oil and gas wastewater is flowing up from old oil and gas wells and bursting into an aquifer used for drinking water.
It’s an outcome the Texas Railroad Commission took steps to prevent for more than a decade. The state’s oil and gas regulator monitored as corporations and wastewater operators stuffed more of their polluted leftovers underground and into areas that were running out of space to contain them.

- Former Houston controller Chris Brown spoke out publicly for the first time since he came under scrutiny for being largely absent from City Hall despite drawing a $127,000 salary as a senior advisor to Mayor John Whitmire.
In a fiery speech at city council on Wednesday, Brown defended his longtime record as a city employee and harshly accused his successor, Controller Chris Hollins, of creating a “giant political distraction” through his probe into Brown’s work and performance. The debate briefly derailed the meeting as the mayor, controller and council members continually shouted over each other, prompting the mayor to ultimately pause the meeting.

- Muslim communities across Texas are experiencing a renewed rise in Islamophobia, expressed through hostile political rhetoric, online misinformation, workplace and school discrimination, harassment, threats, and opposition to Muslim-led institutions and development projects.
For Muslim Texans, the rise of Islamophobia affects everyday life. Some families worry about children being bullied at school, women wearing hijab may feel especially visible, and mosques have strengthened security because of threatening messages or possible violence. The emotional burden includes fear, exhaustion, isolation, and concern that openly practicing Islam could attract unwanted attention. Their response is not only a struggle against prejudice but also an effort to build a more informed, inclusive, and democratic Texas.

- Orphaned at 9, Martin Sr. came to Texas from San Luis Potosí, Mexico, eventually making his way from ranch work as a vaquero to learning the craft of tailoring in Mexico and later becoming a master tailor in Chicago. In the 1950s, he built a family business in Houston that has continued for generations. His son and grandson, both military veterans, are part of that legacy. Over the decades, their work has also become woven into Houston history, marking this shop as the oldest tailor shop in Houston. They tailored the first suits for the officers who became known as the Chicano Squad, and their first call from a professional sports team came from the Houston Astros for repairs and patches. Since then, they have also worked with the Rockets, University of Houston and Rice. Through three generations and more than 70 years of tailoring, the story explores immigration, craftsmanship and a family business that has left its mark across Houston.

- Description
- The Houston Texans are preparing for their Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals at Reliant Stadium. Nico Collins’ hamstring injury has put his status for Sunday’s game in doubt, leaving Houston to potentially rely on a wide receiver committee and more production from its tight ends. The Texans could also lean heavily on the running game after a strong Week 1 performance on the ground.

Indian immigrants helped build the state’s technology, health care and science industries after arriving in large numbers beginning in the 1980s. Now, Tomlinson looks at how anti-immigrant rhetoric has increasingly targeted a community that remains less than 1% of the state’s population.
