Delma Banks, on death row since 1980 for a Texarkana youth killing, could become Texas’s 300th execution since 1982. Texas has accelerated deaths amid stricter appeal deadlines, with nine executions in early 2000 and calls to slow capital punishment nationwide. News notes Gov Perry opposing a death-penalty moratorium.

Logger cuts 20 acres of pines on park land by mistake
Houston city foresters traced a logging crew led by George Crow after tipsters reported a 20 acre stand of 60 to 70 year old pines in Brock Park had been clear cut. Crow, owner of a Houston logging company for 15 years, said a misread map caused the road and removal of trees. The incident prompted potential trespass, destruction of public property, and theft charges, with parks officials seeking restitution for losses estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, while experts note the broader ecological impact of lost trees.
