Spate of new laws effective January 1

After the Texas Legislature spent much of 2023 in session, a bevy of new laws go into effect on New Year’s Day, though some have been delayed by lawsuits challenging their constitutionality. 01/02/2024 05:00 AM

We need a solution for illegal immigration, but new Texas law isn’t it

With the furor over abortion dying down, for now, it had been a few days since a Texas law made national news. 12/31/2023 05:00 AM

Dear Abby

Couple’s evolving romance now includes parenthood

DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing the same man for a year and a half. In the beginning, we were, basically, friends with benefits, and we were OK with that. Having both gone through recent breakups or divorce, neither of us wanted anything serious. However, after six months passed, I started falling for him. He always made clear that if he didn’t want to go down that road, we would break ties, but the way he acted indicated that maybe one day there would be more. 12/28/2023 05:00 AM

Is the Texas power grid at risk of winter blackouts? ERCOT, Abbott can’t decide

Is the Texas power grid at risk of winter blackouts? ERCOT, Abbott can’t decide

In the two years since Winter Storm Uri plunged millions of Texas homes into darkness, Gov. Greg Abbott has leaned on a familiar refrain: legislative fixes have made the state’s power grid healthier than ever. Abbott spent serious political capital ramming these changes through the Legislature in 2021, then practically staked his entire reelection bid on avoiding a Uri repeat. 12/27/2023 12:00 AM

Dear Abby

Man’s repeated absences now have an explanation

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of three years works six days a week with Sundays off. For the last six weeks, my calls have gone unanswered from Saturday evening through Monday morning. He’d provide a lame excuse, apologize for the “missed” calls, and the next weekend, the same thing would happen. Long story short, he was spending time in a drug house on the weekends. He ignored my calls because he didn’t want me to know what he was doing. He says it’s “no big deal,” he isn’t doing it anymore and we should move forward as if this never happened. 12/27/2023 12:00 AM
