Oyster hearing focuses on oyster leases and alleged conflicts
Testimony highlighted declines in Galveston Bay harvests due to leases, hurricanes, and droughts. A consultant accused TPWD oyster advisers of favoring Prestige Oysters, while Woody defended a 2014 Chambers-Liberties proposal that critics call a monopoly. Legal actions by the state target the lease as illegal, with court rulings voiding the deal.

Indicted ex Rep Stockman and aide face fraud charges
A federal grand jury in Houston indicted former U S representative Steve Stockman and aide Jason Posey on mail and wire fraud counts plus excessive campaign contributions and money laundering. The scheme allegedly diverted about 1.25 million dollars in charitable donations for personal and campaign use. Stockman’s attorney says he intends to plead not guilty and the ex-congressman is free on bond after arrest earlier this month.
