Bexar County promotes new flood warning system, ‘Floods Don’t Care’ campaign
Bexar County officials demonstrated on Tuesday a new railroad-style flood gate system designed to automatically block drivers from entering flooded roadways — part of a broader $21 million “NextGen” flood warning network that officials hope will prevent future flood deaths across the region. The new flood gates use upstream water sensors, flashing warning lights and lowered gate arms to close roads when rising creek levels make roadway conditions dangerous. The county’s older High-Water Alert Lifesaving Technology, or HALT, flood warning system primarily relies on flashing warning beacons activated by rising water near crossings. This new system features towers that add another layer of prevention when drivers approach a flooded road.

States sue over new student loan limits on certain nursing and healthcare degrees
A coalition of 24 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday challenging a Trump administration rule that limits access to federal student loans for borrowers earning a graduate degree in several popular, healthcare-related fields. "Higher education is expensive, and our health care system is already under immense strain," New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement. "This rule will shut talented people out of critical professions and leave communities with fewer health care providers they desperately need." At issue is a pair of complex changes that, taken together, drew the ire of the American Nurses Association and triggered Tuesday's lawsuit.

Austin rejected license plate readers last year. Could a shooting rampage bring them back?
Austin police and some city officials are calling for the reinstatement of automated license plate readers after learning the technology may have aided Manor police in locating the three teenagers suspected in a weekend shooting rampage – but privacy advocates say they’re still not worth the tradeoff. The calls mark the latest turn in a yearslong fight over whether Austin police should be allowed to resume using the cameras, which City Council members declined to keep last year after an internal audit raised oversight concerns and privacy advocates warned the technology could amount to mass surveillance.

Ken Paxton wanted to limit forum shopping. Now lawyers say he’s improperly seeking favorable courts.
In October, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued pharmaceutical companies tied to Tylenol in state court, repeating claims made a month earlier by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the pain relief drug was linked to autism and ADHD in children. Paxton, a close ally of the Trump administration who had already announced a U.S. Senate bid, accused drugmakers of marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers without disclosing its dangers. “The reckoning has arrived,” the state’s attorneys wrote in the lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies Johnson & Johnson, Kenvue Brands and Kenvue Inc. “By holding Big Pharma accountable for poisoning our people, we will help Make America Healthy Again,” Paxton proclaimed in a news release that echoed Kennedy’s slogan. Paxton hired the Chicago law firm Keller Postman to argue the case in state court. The firm had served as lead counsel in a similar case about Tylenol’s safety that was dismissed a year earlier by a New York federal judge who found the plaintiffs’ expert witnesses unreliable.
