Texas Ban on In-State Tuition for Illegals Upheld by Federal Court

July 1005:32 AM
 

The Texas Dream Act was enacted in 2001, granting illegal aliens in-state tuition benefits.   The Texas Dream Act, enacted in 2001, formerly allowed qualifying illegal alien students to pay in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities.  In June 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice sued the State of Texas, arguing that federal law preempted the Texas Dream Act.  According to the suit, federal law preempts any state rules that grant illegal aliens benefits not afforded to all U.S. citizens. The Texas Dream Act did this because U.S. citizens from outside the state were forced to pay higher rates than the qualifying aliens.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ultimately agreed with the DOJ, settling the case. view article  arw

Hundreds of Texas Teachers Were Investigated for Posting About Charlie Kirk. Here’s What Happened Next.

July 0908:27 AM
 

In the wake of the right-wing activist’s assassination, the state education agency investigated 350 complaints against educators. Most have been dismissed, but some teachers have struggled to move on.    Illustration by Texas Monthly; Kirk: Joe Raedle/Getty  In her 28 years as a teacher working at schools in the Harris County area, Jennifer Courtemanche felt most at home at Lee High School. That changed for the 54-year-old English teacher on September 10. Hours after conservative influencer Charlie Kirk’s assasination, Courtemanche made a series of posts on Facebook about the right-wing influencer’s death and was met with dozens of comments, texts, and voicemails from strangers attacking her positions. Someone—it’s unclear who—reported her to the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, while others attacked her directly. “I hope you’re next,” one read. “I hope you die by violence in front of your family,” said another. “Kill yourself,” said a third.  view article  arw

Slightly more kindergartners have the measles vaccination

July 0708:48 AM
 

The overall news is still very mixed, but it’s at least something.  While more than 92% of Texas kindergarteners and 7th graders were fully vaccinated in the 2025-26 school year for each vaccine required to attend school, the coverage rates remained lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic, state data released Wednesday shows.  Of note in the latest report released by the Texas Department of State Health Services, the statewide measles coverage rate of kindergarteners increased from 93.2% to 93.3% after dropping about four percentage points in a decade. Also, the rate of kindergarteners opting out of the measles vaccine via a “conscientious exemption” increased by more than half of a percentage point, the largest single-year increase in more than a decade.  The latest data comes on the heels of the 2025 West Texas measles outbreak that resulted in the deaths of two school-age children. Texas lawmakers also approved a bill last year that did away with a requirement that the state must mail vaccine exemptions forms to parents, and instead, ma view article  arw

Texas Stock Exchange Has Officially Begun Trading

July 0708:33 AM
 

The Texas Stock Exchange officially commenced trading on Monday morning. Based in Dallas, TXSE began its phased rollout in July. The firm’s launch comes as major financial institutions, including BlackRock and Citadel Securities, have invested over $120 million in the new exchange since 2024. The exchange gained federal approval last year and attracted investment from several other firms, bringing total investment to more than $275 million.  TXSE opened its doors at 8:30 a.m. on Monday morning to approved brokers, banks, and trading firms. For now, brokers are trading only test stocks. Thousands of symbols, such as TSLA (Tesla), will come online in July, with an announcement to precede it. That rollout will officially allow the public to trade stocks on the exchange.  TXSE officials also hope to have exchange-traded products, or ETPs, trading by the end of the third quarter. ETPs allow investors to gain exposure to a wide variety of investment products, such as oil or the S&P 500. view article  arw
