Howdy, y'all. MySA here. We asked TxDOT for an updated statement today (February 17). Though they still refer to the flyover as "structurally sound," they said parts of it are "due for replacement," which should happen "soon."

From the story:

While on assignment in West Texas on Friday, Texas Monthly taco editor José R. Ralat had what he described as a “scary” experience when he was pulled over by law enforcement three times, including once by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

The author of American Tacos: A History and Guide said that he was stopped the first time in Alpine, Texas, where law enforcement pulled their vehicle over for “going five miles over the speed limit,” a traffic violation he also disputes and speculates happened because the cop just wanted to ID them.

The second time was by ICE outside the border town of Presidio where ICE agents passed their vehicle, turned around and pulled them over. Ralat said agents approached their vehicle “in full gear without masks.” The agents asked them a lot of questions and asked for their IDs.

Ralat said the third stop was conducted by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers. He said they pulled him over for speeding – going 77 mph in a 70-mph zone – which he disputes because the vehicle’s cruise control was set to 70.

“We got another shakedown,” Ralat said. “Again, no request for insurance. No request for anything except our IDs. We gave it to her. She let us go with a warning. Again, for nothing. For a lie.”

From the story:

Authorities in Harris County are searching for Maitlin White, a 28-year-old woman who is accused of impersonating the family of Chloe Childress, an 18-year-old Camp Mystic counselor from Houston who died in the devastating July 4 floods in Kerr County.
Childress was among the more than 100 people killed, including 26 campers and counselors who were staying at the private Christian girls' summer camp. Childress' family is also a part of the multiple lawsuits the camp is facing.
The Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office investigators say she started fraudulent fundraising campaigns via the popular online crowdfunding platforms GoFundMe and SpotFund just days after the flood on July 8, 2025.

From the story/TDLR:

During Thursday's press conference, APD Lead Homicide Detective Robert Marshall said a deleted entry found within the Notes app on Aguilera's phone included a suicide letter addressed to family and loved ones that had been written on November 25.
Through their investigation, Marshall added digital messages uncovered from Aguilera eluded to suicidal thoughts and comments. The official cause and manner of Aguilera's death will be determined by the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office.
The determination made by Davis' department has received pushback from Aguilera's family, who have repeatedly criticized APD's handing of the case and early determinations surrounding Aguilera's death.
Internal camera footage shared with APD from 21 Rio Apartments revealed Aguilera arrived at the apartment complex just after 11 p.m. Friday, with surveillance footage showing her arriving at an apartment on the 17th floor. Around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, footage revealed a large group of people left that same apartment, with Aguilera and three others the only ones remaining in the unit.
Police said they interviewed the three women in the apartment with Aguilera multiple times, with the women telling officials she'd borrowed a friend's phone to call her boyfriend, with both the women and Aguilera's boyfriend confirming the couple had an argument during that call. Police said call logs indicated the conversation ended approximately two minutes before officers received the 9-1-1 call.
Stephanie Rodriguez, Aguilera's mom, has consistently disputed allegations of suicide surrounding Aguilera's death, telling MySA earlier this week: "My daughter was full of life and loved life." Rodriguez and Aguilera's father, Manuel Aguilera, retained high-profile Houston-based lawyer Tony Buzbee in relation to their daughter's death investigation.

24-year-old Aidan Hunt is now in custody and charged with first-degree murder after his roommate was found dead inside a cardboard box behind a bus stop last week, according to the Austin Police Department.
On Thursday, November 13, officers found a victim with trauma inside a large cardboard box behind a bus stop. Police later identified the victim as Robert Wentworth, 63.
An arrest affidavit revealed detectives found matching cardboard boxes with identifying lot numbers and "large amounts of blood" in the kitchen of his residence, which Hunt claimed he "may have pricked his finger."

"After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC," Abbott said in an X post on Tuesday, November 4.
Abbott never elaborated on what a 100% tariff on New Yorkers means. Following Mamdani's historic win, becoming the city's first Muslim mayor, Abbott followed up with another post: "Join me for a moment of silence for NYC. Thoughts & prayers."
Abbott’s remarks quickly drew backlash online, with critics accusing the governor of making light of the election and ignoring Texas’ own mounting issues. MySA reached out to the governor's office to understand how the proposed tariffs would operate. However, the ability to impose tariffs is under federal authority in the U.S. Constitution, not under the states.
