The Lakewood double murder case ends with suspect William Chamblin surrendering after an early morning standoff. Robert Acuna, 17, faces murder charges in an elderly couple killing. Officials credit prevention programs and victim services for helping keep overall rates steady.

Lawsuits follow Mont Belvieu EDC dissolution vote
Three council members voted to abolish the Mont Belvieu Economic Development Corporation after residents backed a half cent sales tax for development. The move, challenged by Cryogenic Vessel Alternatives II, was tied to a petition deemed invalid for missing signatures and birth or registration data. City officials and former EDC members described the dissolution as lawful, with the action centralizing development decisions under the council and sparking multiple lawsuits.
