Gov. Rick Perry has announced a Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) investment of $300,000 for Maverick Arms, Inc., a firearms company specializing in shotguns. The company has announced plans to expand its Eagle Pass manufacturing facility, creating 50 new jobs and $3.4 million in capital investment.
“Last month’s outstanding jobs gains are further proof that Texas continues to be a national leader in job creation for employers of all sizes and across all industries,” Gov. Perry said. “This TEF investment in Maverick Arms will help create jobs and opportunity in Eagle Pass, while reaffirming Texas’ longstanding support of the Second Amendment.”

Herrera informed The News Gram that he is taking his name off of the ballot in the November General Election.

-Boys & Girls Club
When we arrived at the Boys & Girls Club, about thirty kids of various ages were busy shooting around while Coach Padilla looked on and shouted indications as he has for quite some time now guiding select teams to compete at high levels across South Texas.
The difference on this day, however, was the fact that they would be addressed by someone very special.
Someone who will not only let them know what is right from wrong, the importance of knowing what it is that you put into your body and knowing who you hang around with.
It sounds much like what may normally go on at a Boys & Girls Club, the difference is that today's speaker has done the same with the heroes of every kid on this floor, the San Antonio Spurs.

When Father Jerzy Krzywda of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Carrizo Springs referred to the tragic deaths of two loving children, a brother who had just graduated from Junior High, had friends who cared for him and who looked forward to his high school years and his sister who was equally popular with her friends, friends who courageously took the podium to reflect on just why they considered to be different from all her peers, he made the analogy of a tree, a young sapling which had been cut down in its formative years as opposed to those stoic trees which have braved storms and cold winters and have the scars to show it.
"For some of us, death comes as a slow, wearing down process.It is a bit like the death of an old tree.Every winter has been taking its toll of the tree.Every storm has brought down little pieces of it, sometimes whole branches.The tree has been dying gradually, therefore no one is surprised when at last it falls," said Krzywda, "People who die are forewarned and have a chance to set their house in order, but for others death comes like a bolt out of the blue."

Billowing black smoke rose into the air as hundreds of citizens watched in awe as Eagle Pass Fire Fighters battled a blaze that consumed at least four businesses on the corner of Commercial and Rio Grande in Downtown Eagle Pass.
Fire fighters braced themselves as the high pressure blasts of water pushed them back and they attempted to extinguish the blaze in vain as flames cut through the smoke and bit back out of control for what seemed to be a good thirty minutes as business owners looked on in dismay and disbelief.
