Posted on Nextdoor from a person in San Marcos Tx, South of Austin! Unbelievable!!! Check out this post on Nextdoor: https://nextdoor.com/p/mRQrh_-NJM3r?utm_source=share&extras=MzEyOTA0OTU%3D&utm_campaign=1779241580885&share_action_id=e3d7d991-d032-472d-a3d1-358a9eddf5de
Corpus Christi needs the groundwater beneath the small town of Sinton so urgently that it’s already laying pipeline, even before it has the permits to start drilling for water.
Sinton, with 5,500 residents about half an hour north, is fighting those permits in court, citing concerns for its own water supply. But leaders in Corpus Christi, which supplies water to half a million people, now suggest an ulterior motive: Sinton wants a thirsty, new complex of data centers.
Officials and executives in Corpus Christi point to recent land deals, well permits and a rezoning ordinance as evidence for the data center plans. Officials in Sinton neither confirm nor deny Corpus Christi’s supposition.
“It is rumors,” said John Hobson, Sinton’s city manager, declining to say whether or not it is true.
Everyone involved in the deal probably signed non-disclosure agreements, said Greg Ellis, an attorney for the San Patricio Groundwater Conservation District, which is based in Sinton and issued the drilling permits in dispute.
“Seems like it’s gotten out anyway,” he said. “I find the rumor very believable.”
I'm an artist who's recently fallen on some hard times while living in Texas. i managed to find work at an art camp but official camp doesn't start til some time in June so I am only working 10 hours a week, very broke and needing help atm). I applied for foodstamps and am just gathering the needed documents for verification to get approved
Now I haven't been on foodstamps in about 4 years, and I know now there are some changes regarding sweetened drinks/items that are not able to be purchased with the ebt card in Texas anymore. I've read some posts here about how it seems to be lacking consistency and overall creating confusion to current recipients in Texas. Which brings me to my next question.
I eat pretty healthy (i also can't eat meat as i'm allergic to most meat and poultry) so I'm not too concerned about not being able to buy sugar-y things. Don't eat them much too begin with. What I am concerned about is the lack of consistency with what is now considered off limits for ebt card payments.
Would anyone happen to know if dairy free alternatives such as oat milk, almond milk, or dairy free yogurt are somehow being mis-labelled and not able to be bought with ebt in Texas?
I am also lactose-intolerant and will fall very sick if I consume anything dairy.
Does anyone with any allergens or food restrictions have any experience with buying these alternatives with EBT?
The rally, organized by the Texas Says No Border Wall coalition, brought speakers from Laredo, Eagle Pass, Zapata County, the Rio Grande Valley and Big Bend to Austin as new federal border wall plans have renewed fears about flooding, land access, wildlife habitat and the future of communities built along the river.
The Capitol event came days after the Department of Homeland Security published a waiver allowing federal officials to bypass environmental, historic preservation, public lands and other laws to speed construction of barriers and roads in the Big Bend Sector.
I am a registered voter in Texas but I did not vote in primary elections earlier this year.
Can I vote in the republican primary runoff?
Are there any specific actions I need to take to be able to vote in this runoff?
In 2005 or 2006 I was in Texas highways magazine in a part about bracken village outside of San Antonio. I'm holding one of my pies and my friend is holding a cake I think. Well I'm a pretty decent pastry chef now and that pie is my biggest seller. I've been trying to on and off track it down and really thought I had the right one but November 2005 wasn't it. I guess I was wondering if anyone had a stash of them they could at least see if I'm in there or if anyone had a way I could find out, person or library I'm not thinking of. I thought I had a ton of info and I can't believe that can't find it. The archives go back to just before that. Any thoughts would be great, tysm!
Who will do such things to save Texans money ??
hello all, have any of you purchased a vehicle with an existing bonded title? if so, what is the process for getting it transferred to my name? Tried reaching out to my local tax office but they haven't responded and can't find clear information online.
thanks
If you're considering a career switch to become a special ed teacher, how do you manage that?
