This Ted Cruz plea to keep James Talarico out of the US Senate includes a donation link not for Talarico opponent Ken Paxton but for Ted Cruz.

A veteran benefits bill is driving a rare rift between the two largest veteran service orgs in Texas. It includes a long-awaited change to disability + retirement pay, but it has a controversial funding rule. TX vets & lawmakers are caught up in the debate

Here’s the line to get into the @KenPaxtonTX event in San Antonio

[Aarón Torres @AaronTorres_]

At least 18 ppl in leadership have departed the agency since @DonHuffines took over

Includes the 3 acting deputy comptrollers and at least 6 division directors, per sources familiar w/ the departures

Some of the departures are ppl who previously announced they were retiring

Here's a copy of email that acting comptroller @DonHuffines sent to staff announcing restructuring at @txcomptroller

In it, Huffines announces the new associate deputy comptroller's (ADCs) are (h/t @bradj_TX who reported first)

Quick correction that @DonHuffines is the comptroller and not the “acting comptroller” as I mistakenly posted

Texas hasn’t elected an unmarried senator since 1940.

That will be the choice this year, between Ken Paxton and James Talarico. The candidates’ personal lives have been scrutinized during the campaign. But do voters really care?

We asked Texans — including Angela Paxton — how dating, divorce and scandal affects their vote.

Border Patrol shot and killed a 31yo Mexican man in Starr County last December. Eights months later, it remains under investigation.

The little-known death brings the fatal shootings by DHS agents under Trump's second term to at least three in Texas.

Texas state Rep. James Talarico voted in five elections using his parents’ address after purchasing a home for himself nearby, a practice that may have violated state voting laws, @kaylaguo_ and I found. https://t.co/FbfeBctdL9

Scoop: Leaders at the Texas Comptroller’s office received an email Tuesday directing them to create priority lists of employees they’d cut under potential staff reductions.

Comes days after @DonHuffines was sworn in as acting comptroller
