Congressman Chip Roy and State Sen. Mayes Middleton are locked in a bruising battle for Texas attorney general ahead of the May 26 Republican primary runoff. The race has tightened in recent weeks after Roy received a surge of donations, including nearly $3 million from West Texas conservative megadonor Alex Fairly. Middleton had previously outspent Roy using significant family wealth tied to his family’s oil and cattle business. Roy said increased fundraising has helped him compete after being heavily outspent earlier in the race. “Built on the back of name ID, what I’m doing in Congress and now getting our message out through you know our advertising, which we were getting as I said way out spent back in March,” Roy said.

When floodwaters overtook the Hill Country around Kerrville, many people said they did not receive advance warning due to unreliable cellular service in the area. Under the agreement between the camps and DSHS, the state health services department said: “Camps that maintain a redundant internet service will not face potential license denial or revocation for not having fiber service during the 2026 camping season, as long as they meet all other safety requirements.” The DSHS said alternative broadband services, such as cellular, microwave or satellite technology, are acceptable as long as they meet…
