Bullock pushes tougher dui rules and sobriety checks in Texas
Lt Gov Bullock urges Senate to reconsider three bills to lower the blood alcohol limit to .08 ban open containers and allow sobriety checks, aiming to protect drivers. Three measures previously failed to gain approval amid MADD support and lawyer-group caution. Justice Gammage resigns from Texas Supreme Court, to be followed by other retirements, prompting Bush to fill vacancies. The court remains politically balanced with five Republicans and four Democrats.

Talk of Texas correcting the historian notes Texas Indian roots
The article contends Texas is America's true Indian Territory home to numerous tribes and ethnic groups. It traces names from Tejas and Tehas to Hasinai and Caddo, notes 300 years of Native exposure to outsiders, and frames Texas as a cultural crossroads with later German Czech and Polish settlements. It recalls Jumbo’s old West Texas district and San Antonio’s OSR route. It also recounts Col Brackenridge’s milk-scented roof cow saga.
