A major dust-up between two high-profile Texas Democrats is making waves across the country.

DALLAS — Democrat Taylor Rehmet may never get the chance to cast a vote from his new seat in the Texas state Senate.

Two people detained at the South Texas Family Residential Center have "active measles infections," DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told USA TODAY.

With ballots tallied from all but a handful of voting centers, Rehmet had 57% of the vote, besting the 43% for his GOP opponent, Leigh Wambsganss, who had a massive spending advantage.

Democrat Christian Menefee won a Texas U.S. House seat in a special election Saturday that will narrow Republicans' already-slim majority.

The 2026 softball season is here. Texas won its first national championship in program history after defeating instate rival Texas Tech in a winner take all Game 3 in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. But the Red Raiders are ranked No.

The Department of Homeland Security has imposed a quarantine on a family detention center in Dilley, Texas, after two detainees contracted the disease.

The program is expected to serve up to 100,000 students. If the applications exceed that, the state plans to run a lottery to determine who is first in line.
