First trial set for accused serial killer Resendiz
The Houston case centers on Drifter Al Maturino Resendiz, a 40 year old Mexican citizen who surrendered last July after being added to the FBI ten most wanted list. He opens a capital murder trial for the December 1998 slaying, facing potential death penalty if convicted. Prosecutors may end up addressing all nine alleged victims.

Dallas deputy chiefs fail civil service test scores
Three of four sergeants promoted to deputy chief under Terrell Bolton did not score high enough on the 1998 civil service exam to reach lieutenant, with Cynthia Villareal and Kyle Royster cited as examples. Edwards ranked 36th, while Alfredo Saldana scored 87. Bolton defended the process citing other criteria and noted the promotions marked a milestone for women and minorities. Prosecutors weigh a separate murder case involving Maturino Resendiz, with trial expected to last about a week and possible cross-state proceedings.

A McLennan County jury ruled that surviving Branch Davidian followers and a widow are not legitimate trustees of the Mount Carmel property east of Waco. The verdict ends a dispute over who should control the 77 acres, a case brought by Clive Doyle and other Davidians who survived the 1993 standoff.

Texas bid to control land linked to Branch Davidians
In Texas, efforts to gain control of the land where Koresh and about 80 Davidians died in 1993 drew involvement from Amo Bishop Roden, widow of former Davidian George Roden. While no dispute arose over ownership, parties sought jurors’ sympathy by tying their ties to the church to influence the land outcome.
