DALLAS (AP) —
A veteran Dallas police officer has been charged with prostitution in an Arlington case from earlier this summer.
Investigators say Senior Cpl. Marqueon Skinner was being sought Wednesday on a warrant for an offense June 30. Further details on the incident were not immediately released. The warrant was issued Tuesday.
Dallas police say Skinner, who's been with the department since February 2004, has been put on administrative leave amid the Arlington investigation. Skinner was assigned to the police support services division.
Police did not immediately provide additional information on Skinner or an attorney to speak on his behalf.
Messages left with the Dallas Police Association were not immediately returned Wednesday.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) —
An El Paso clinic closed by Texas' tough abortion laws is set to become the state's first to reopen since the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked enforcement of key restrictions.
The reopening of the Reproductive Services facility would bring to 20 the number of abortion clinics in Texas, down from 41 in 2012.
An attorney for a group representing the Reproductive Services clinic said Wednesday it was only waiting on a state license.
Texas hasn't issued the license while it awaited guidance on the Supreme Court's June 29 order suspending enforcement of key parts of its abortion restrictions law.
A federal judge provided that guidance Monday, ordering the state not to enforce some of its law.
Still, there's not yet a timeframe for when the clinic's license might be issued.
The drought is back in some parts of Texas. Most of East Texas is now either in a moderate drought or a severe drought – that’s about 22 percent of the state. North Texas and Central Texas are considered “abnormally dry,” according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Drought-free life didn’t last long. Just last month, the state was drought free.
