The City of Kyle is hoping to break the Guinness World Record for the largest same-name gathering this weekend.

Voters in Hays County will decide on several school district bonds and emergency services funds.

The 36-year-old pretrial detainee was killed by a Hays County corrections officer while receiving medical treatment at a hospital in Kyle. The officer claimed self defense; Wright's family is demanding to see body-cam video.

The emergency district wants to build more stations and buy more ambulances. A proposition on the May ballot is the first step toward increasing the property tax rate to help pay for it.

The family of Joshua Wright, who was killed, has been searching for answers since the shooting and asking for the release of the body camera footage captured by the officer.

Costco enthusiasts no longer have to travel to Austin or San Antonio to shop at the wholesale retailer.

The Mental Health Court works as an alternative to jail in misdemeanor and felony cases where mental health issues may have played a role. Around 30 people are expected to go through the program by the end of the year.

Hays County school districts want to expand schools and build new ones in an effort to fit hundreds of new students each year.
