Texas AG Ken Paxton has taken about 350 out-of-state trips with a state-funded security detail, including 25 to foreign countries.
During a 2017 Israel trip, organizers said Paxton insisted on his own security despite the government providing it for six other AGs. His detail cost $75,000.

NEW TEXAS DROUGHT MONITOR: The news isn't great. Even though some folks got rain last week, we're still in rough shape, with nearly all of Texas in drought. I do not expect beneficial rain outside the western quarter of Texas for about a week. Last week's rains temporarily reduced overall wildfire risk and may have greened the grass, but without more rain, those improvements will wane. How's it in your part of the state? ~David

Bad situation happening in Childress, TX. The city declared a local disaster yesterday due to emergency water situation in town. Governor Abbott has issued a state declaration that sent bottled water to hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. Hopefully at some point rain will start to fall again as the cities water source, Greenbelt Lake is only 4.8% full.

Texas is an idea that does not hold a single race, religion, class, or creed.
If this is your takeaway from watching Longhorns celebrate an incredible win, the simple truth is you’re an awful person who has no business serving 31+ million Texans on the RRC.
To my Republican colleagues rightfully calling on this post to be deleted: this is just who this man is — and this isn’t the first time. Human decency and respect for one another should never come second to partisanship.
@Jon_RosenthalTX is an honorable man who will actually address the issues the RRC faces and will not dehumanize Texans in pursuit of elected office. It’s time for Texas to do better. 🤘🏾 #txlege

#Texas #Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian just said on the SEC coaches call regarding Saturday's opponent Texas State (with Ohio State looming on Sept. 12:
"Don't be surprised at the end of November if they're not in the talk of making the College Football Playoff. I think Texas State's a really good team. So they've got our attention, they've got our players' attention, and that's where our focus is."
