Del Rio Chamber of Commerce President Jerry Simpson says rumors that Wextron Industries would buy the Del Rio Sportswear Building are invalid. He notes Wextron officials must inquire with the Chamber of the Industrial Foundation, and nothing has been heard yet. Wextron lists a Del Rio plant at 900 Cantu Rd as a computer hardware maker, with headquarters in Houston, though directory assistance has no listing. Del Rio Sportswear is owned by Kellwood Industries of St. Louis, Missouri.

Dean backs unitary primary to cut Texas election costs
Texas Secretary of State David Dean proposes a unitary primary similar to Washington and Alaska. A single ballot would advance the top vote-getter from each party to the general election, eliminating primary runoffs and potentially saving 4 to 6 million dollars. He urges resignations for statewide hopefuls with more than a year left in office and a presidential preference primary on primary day to boost turnout.

Judge orders Texas to pay inmates' lawyers in prison reform case
A federal judge ruled Texas must pay $883,185 for eight years of work by a San Francisco law group to obtain a broad prison reform order. The state must also deposit $100,000 for future fees, with $831,341 due on final adjudication, and the court rejected spreading payments to 1987. The 1981 order limited inmate counts, required 60 square foot cells or less, banned inmate authorities, and directed new units near big cities plus a fire safety plan. The 5th Circuit removed the fire policy, inmates seek Supreme Court restoration, and defense argues fires and safety violations persist.
