    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Someone who bought Delta-8 gummies legally before July 31 could now face a felony arrest in Austin based on the packaging, even before a laboratory determines what's actually inside. Since a Department of State Health Services rule was reinstated July 31, possession of less than 1 gram of Delta-8 has been a state jail felony punishable by 180 days to two years behind bars and a fine of up to $10,000. But the penalty is based on the "aggregate weight," which includes anything added to dilute the

    Is possessing smokable hemp flower and concentrate legal in Texas? No one knows | Houston Public Media (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

That’s because it came from the same cannabis plant, but was sold legally as hemp. But after a flurry of administrative rule changes, now no one KUT News asked could say definitively whether merely possessing those smokable hemp products remains legal, or whether a few crumbs of concentrate could bring a felony charge.

    Studies say Austin-San Antonio passenger rail requires $13 billion or a route Union Pacific resists (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A passenger rail link between Austin and San Antonio, long dreamed about by local officials and commuters who would rather watch YouTube than white-knuckle it between semi-trucks on I-35, is now being presented with two very different paths forward. But the cheaper of those two paths is already running into the same obstacle that helped kill the last serious effort: Union Pacific says its freight railroad still doesn't have capacity for any more passenger trains beyond the extremely limited exis
