Border leaders seek more jobs on U S Mexico border
Governors from 10 states on both sides of the border meet to discuss trade and job creation. The United States is Mexico's largest trading partner, with Texas exporting most to Mexico after California. A Texas study shows 37 percent of state exports to Mexico totaling 31.2 billion in 1996. Maquiladoras along the border employ over 600,000, plus 250,000 to 300,000 in interior Mexican plants. Mexico's economy remains exposed to global shifts.

Man gets 99 years for urination stabbing in Fort Worth
Robert C. White was sentenced to 99 years and a $10,000 fine after a Tarrant County jury found him guilty of stabbing Andrew Carl Allen in the head with a pocketknife on August 24, 1996. White, 47, had prior probation for injury to the elderly and faced additional testimony about past assaults including on 86 year old Claudell Walton. The verdict followed a swift deliberation of under an hour and the prosecutor condemned White’s actions as intolerable.
