Fort Hood soldiers brace for prolonged war amid Iraqi resistance
Families of 4th Infantry Division troops at Fort Hood worry the conflict will stretch beyond expectations as Iraqi tactics slow the advance toward Baghdad. About 12,500 soldiers from the 4th Infantry and 5,500 other troops are set to depart Fort Hood, joining 250,000 U.S. troops already in the region. Lt. Gen. Wallace says war planners misread Iraqi combativeness, complicating the drive to Kuwait and Baghdad.

Beaumont Judge Vacates Divorce Order for Gay Couple
A Beaumont judge vacated an order granting a divorce to a same sex couple united civilly in Vermont last year. Attorney General Greg Abbott said Texas law does not recognize civil unions or marriages of same-sex couples, delaying or nullifying proceedings. The couple faced costly and lengthy options to dissolve their union. Separately, Texas A&M Kingsville plans to rename its pharmacy school after Rep. Irma Rangel, the late first Hispanic woman in the Texas House, a move praised by Gov. Perry.
