Southlake City Council denies LGBTQ+ pride event permit without explanation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Southlake City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to deny a permit to an LGBTQ+ Pride festival.

After a major fire, Sand Branch activists seek permanent water infrastructure for the community (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For Sand Branch residents, having access to clean, running water has been a distant dream for decades.
