• No Direct Votes: Hinojosa never directly voted to impose a property tax increase, and the Texas state legislature itself does not levy property taxes (property taxes in Texas are set by local governments and school districts).

• Nature of the Votes: The 40 cited votes were procedural or opposing votes against GOP-backed legislation designed to cap local government revenue growth, limit debt-related tax rates, and restrict disaster exemptions.

• Hinojosa’s Position: Hinojosa and her supporters maintain that she voted to preserve local control for cities, counties, and school districts rather than voting to raise taxes. Her campaign also sent cease-and-desist letters to Texas television stations attempting to pull the Abbott attack ad.

We have GOT to take back Texas roads from private corporations. Tolls are supposed to cover the EXPENSE of road construction, not a profit for the operators.

The added expense of $25 late fees per month are abusive to the taxpayers who drive on Texas toll roads.

My wife will be there for the fourth year in a row and I just want to say thank you to everyone who comes out there just to look around. Just being there to observe the art creates such a loving accepting vibe for not just my wife but every artist. She never thought she was good enough to sell her stuff for money and to get love bombed for 12 hours straight really fuels the fire she has inside. She lights up every room she walks into and has brought me out of darkness more times than I know so to see her take a chance on herself and her form of expression be so accepted by this lovely city makes me so proud to be her husband as well as a Fort Worth resident.

Kayleigh Gets Creative is the name of her booth and we’ll be located right by Maggie’s R&R. I can’t wait to see y’all and if you feel so inclined to mention this post to her I would love the husband points. With the perfectly beautiful life she’s given me this is very least I can do. LOVE Y’ALL!

Hey I’m headed out to vote right now.. I’m going to vote AGAINST republicans, as should every true Texan.

I’m going to vote FOR Dems, for greens.

My vote will help shut down ICE, will help shut down tChump, will help shut down abbott, patrick, paxton.. and any other losers who won’t see the people.. they only see profits.. prisons, booze, oil, pills.

This shameful conservative disease will end.

And if doesn’t end with my vote, I have faith in the future and I know they will see the truth.
They will know if you voted for republicans. They know how traitorous cowards look.

Conservatives (or bots) in the comments, know you are the cowards.
And we’re ignoring you and moving forward with our world.

Hi! I just moved to the South Fort Worth area, and am looking into connecting with a swim coach. I am very very new to lap swimming, and have looked into places like Sigma Swim but can't justify $150/month - I am on a tight budget. Any ideas or anyone who might be interested?

I don’t know that its specifically fort worth, but it somewhere in the dfw area.

Yes, I could ask the photographer but she already posted she was gatekeeping the location. 🥴

I recently got called with an offer at UTSW’s 7 blue multi specialty icu for their nurse residency program and wanted to know more about the hospital and the unit culture, management, and floor if anyone knows anything. I’m new to the area so any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated:)

Where are the best open pickleball courts ? I am in cedar hill so closer to me would be best. I am from Utah where courts are packed all throughout the day. I’d love to find a good spot for consistent play.

Question for any people going to the Sick New World concert Saturday Oct 24 - I want to fully enjoy the experience, immersion, etc. Please DM if you are going!!

A 17-year-old from McKinney is accused of plotting to assassinate the congressman representing his own community.

Federal law enforcement sources reportedly linked the alleged plot to ISIS. Self says he and his family are safe and that he will not back down.

His Democratic challenger, Evan Hunt, also responded, condemning political violence regardless of who is targeted.

The case raises serious questions about the alleged plot and what federal investigators uncovered.

This looks like a very good use of community resources, hope it takes off! Day care, a senior center, food bank, counseling and health care...all things their neighborhood could use more of.

>Esperanza marks the first time county government has led the way in establishing a services-focused community center. Richardson ISD agreed to lease the building for 30 years at a cost of $10 total, and Sommerman allocated $5 million in federal pandemic relief funds to redevelop the building. The county also arranged for a nonprofit entity, [the Esperanza Community Center Local Government Corporation](https://www.dallascounty.org/departments/plandev/esperanza/), to manage the facility’s development and operation.

>The help each agency provides is free to families who qualify under federal income guidelines. Since December, about half a dozen services have opened; others are scheduled for later this year and next.

.......

The childcare, senior citizen, and WIC (women, infant, and children) facilities, the three open the longest, still have space for more participants. The Esperanza Community Market, a food bank operated by [Crossroads Community Services](https://ccsdallas.org/aboutcrossroads), began its soft opening late last week. Dallas College expects to begin its programs next month. A Parkland medical clinic, currently a hard-hat construction zone, is scheduled to open in early 2027.

The Children's Advocacy Center operates facilities in Plano and McKinney, but its CEO says a growing share of services is being provided in McKinney.

During Tuesday's City Council presentation, Dan Powers reported 1,066 forensic interviews during the last fiscal year, with 40% conducted in Plano and 60% in McKinney.

He also reported more than 9,200 suspected child abuse reports across Collin County.
