Harris County’s 100-year floodplain may swell 43% under new FEMA mapsHarris County’s 100-year floodplain may swell 43% under new FEMA maps

February 1308:33 AM
 

Harris County’s 100-year floodplain could grow by more than 40% under draft maps newly released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  After a nearly four-year delay, FEMA posted last week an early version of the county’s updated floodplain boundaries on its website. The agency is now gathering feedback from local officials before beginning a broader public review process. If adopted, the new maps would mark the first comprehensive update to Harris County’s floodplain boundaries since 2007.  A Chronicle analysis found the county’s flood zones could see substantial expansions. If finalized as currently proposed, the 100-year floodplain would grow by about 130 square miles, a 43% increase compared with today’s boundaries. The 500-year floodplain would increase by about 62 square miles, or 30%. Meanwhile, floodways, which represent the most dangerous areas, would shrink by about 5%. view article  arw

Alabama was then the first expansion for The Fight Against Suicide, a nonprofit started at the University of Georgia, that organizes the boxing events to raise funds for suicide prevention and research efforts.  That first expansion was a knockout, said David Edmiston, co-founder and director of The Fight Against Suicide. view article  arw

Texas Sues Snapchat for Allegedly Misleading Parents About App Safety

February 1308:30 AM
 

The social media app is accused of exposing minors to inappropriate material.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed suit against Snap Inc., alleging the company misled parents about the safety of Snapchat while exposing minors to sexual content, drug activity, profanity, and addictive design features.  The lawsuit, filed in Collin County district court, accuses Snap of violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment (SCOPE) Act.  According to the petition, Snap markets Snapchat in Apple’s App Store as “12+” and characterizes content involving profanity, sexual material, nudity, drugs, and alcohol as “infrequent/mild.”   The state alleges those representations are false, citing an investigation in which a 13-year-old test account was able to readily access explicit sexual material, graphic profanity, drug-related content, and suicide-themed videos. view article  arw

Texas Family Raffles 100 Acres of Mineral Rights — Here’s How

February 1305:00 AM
 

(KNUE-FM) One Texas family is getting creative with a raffle they are having, and the prize is the mineral rights for the 100 acres of land they own. We got the details from KXAN, and the idea is pretty clever.  The Jones Family’s Raffle Details  We all know that owning land in Texas is great, but if you can get the mineral rights, that’s even better. And for years there have been groups that have approached the Jones family for mineral rights to their land in Frio County. The family says, most offers have been around $50 an acre, and they haven’t been willing to sell.  The Jones family is already leasing their land to an oil company for around $2,100 an acre. But now the family is raffling off the mineral rights as several family members approach retirement. So, the money could be more beneficial than the rights. view article  arw

Former Elon Musk lawyer emerges as frontrunner in GOP primary for Michael McCaul’s congressional seat

February 1208:21 AM
 

Ten Republicans, including Trump-endorsed attorney Chris Gober, are competing for the red-leaning 10th Congressional District in Central Texas.  In the race to replace Rep. Michael McCaul in Congress, Republicans in Texas and Washington are consolidating behind prominent GOP attorney Chris Gober, who served as chief lawyer of Elon Musk’s super PAC and has raised more than $1 million for his campaign  McCaul, an Austin Republican who has represented Central Texas’ 10th Congressional District for more than two decades, announced in September he wouldn’t seek reelection. Gober is one of 10 Republicans competing to succeed him in the red-leaning district, which covers all or parts of 13 counties spanning from Austin to East Texas.   While the district added more residents of liberal Travis County under Republicans’ redrawn congressional map, it also now stretches farther into bright-red East Texas. Nearly one-third of the seat’s population remains situated in Brazos County, home to Texas A&M University and College Station. The district would have given Donald Trump about 60% of the vote had it existed during the 2024 presidential election. view article  arw
