Powell accused killer described as speed freak

A Texas defense testimony described David Lee Powell as a speed freak and possible victim of speed psychosis before trial for the Ablanedo killing. Ballistics linked a Chinese version AK47 in Powell’s car to the ammunition at the scene, while meth speed was found in his knapsack near the crime scene. Powell and Sheila Meinert face capital murder charges with potential lethal injection.

Texas could adopt permanent presidential primary law

Texas House Elections Committee backed a permanent presidential primary plan to let parties allocate delegates by primary vote totals. The proposal links the presidential primary to the June state run-off, requires major nationally recognized candidates on the ballot, and considers separate or joint timing with other primaries depending on legislative choice. Republicans favor a May or July timing, while Democrats seek study, and the 1976 Bentsen Carter Reagan primaries remain a historical reference.
