Texas Delegation Closes In On Environmental Issue
Texas lawmakers split over a proposal to relax environmental controls drawing sharp lines between representatives. The delegation backs Trinity River projects and favors less stringent air standards, while environmental groups warn of economic and rural impacts.

Scattered votes and remarks reflect broader tensions between conservationists and rural voters on shaping federal policy.

Experts warn limited knowledge about shark behavior makes definitive explanations hard.

Three Charged In Marijuana Raids Here
Police said three persons were charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession after two tar colic raids on an apartment. A 2% foot marijuana plant and six smaller plants were confiscated at the Decker Drive residence of a 22-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman who were later charged with marijuana possession. Two snail bags of a marijuana like substance were found. The couple posted bonds and were released early Thursday. A 32-year-old man was arrested on Massey Tompkins Road at about 9 p.m. when police seized a small amount believed to be marijuana. Another marijuana possession charge was filed against this man in March.
