Texas lawmakers have enacted sweeping legislation to ensure that individuals convicted of trafficking children and people with disabilities will no longer be eligible for parole, marking one of the state’s strongest actions yet against human trafficking.
House Bill 2306, coauthored by Rep. Terry Canales of Edinburg and authored by Rep. Denise Villalobos of Robstown, took effect Sept. 1, 2025. The law removes parole eligibility for offenders convicted of trafficking children or disabled individuals, placing those crimes among the most serious offenses under Texas law.
“Before the passage of this measure, people convicted of trafficking offenses had to serve at least half of their sentence, or 30 years, whichever is minimum,” Canales said. “The sentencing is 25 years to life, so a convicted human trafficker could have served as little as 12 years and get released on parole.”
Under the new law, offenders convicted of trafficking a child or a person with disabilities for labor or sexual exploitation must serve their full sentence without parole. The statute also applies to individuals who profit from trafficking operations or cause victims to engage in sexual acts.
Human trafficking in Texas is defined as the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain labor or commercial sex. The crime includes both adult and child trafficking and does not require proof that a victim was transported.
The bill was sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Tan Parker of Flower Mound and received bipartisan support. Survivor advocates played a central role in advancing the legislation.
Lawmakers cited research from the U.S. Department of Justice showing high recidivism rates among individuals convicted of sexual exploitation and trafficking of minors, with some studies estimating reoffense rates as high as 70 percent.
House Bill 2306 was one of two major anti-trafficking measures passed in 2025. The second, Senate Bill 1212, raised all human trafficking offenses to first-degree felonies. That bill was authored by Sen. Angela Paxton and sponsored in the House by Rep. Helen Kerwin.
Gov. Greg Abbott signed both bills into law at a ceremony at the Governor’s Mansion. “We want to ensure that we do all we can so that human traffickers never walk the streets of Texas again,” Abbott said.
A first-degree felony in Texas carries a sentence of five to 99 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Supporters of the legislation say the changes ensure traffickers serve their full sentences and better protect victims.

January 26, 2026- Residents across the Rio Grande Valley are bracing for one of the coldest nights of the season as a strong cold front pushes through the region, sending temperatures steadily downward and creating near-freezing conditions by early Tuesday morning.
According to regional forecasts, temperatures will begin falling rapidly after sunset Monday evening. By 7 p.m., readings are expected to dip into the upper 40s, with winds adding an extra chill. By 9 p.m., temperatures are forecast to reach the low 40s, continuing a steady decline through the late evening hours.
As the night progresses, colder air will settle in across the Valley. By midnight, temperatures are expected to fall into the mid- to upper 30s, with many inland areas already approaching freezing. The coldest conditions are anticipated between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. Tuesday, when temperatures may drop to the low 30s, with some locations briefly reaching or dipping below 32 degrees.
Skies are expected to remain mostly clear overnight, allowing heat to escape more rapidly and contributing to the sharp temperature drop. Winds will be light but persistent, making conditions feel even colder during the early morning hours.
By Tuesday morning, temperatures will begin to slowly rebound after sunrise. Afternoon highs are expected to reach the low to mid-60s, bringing more comfortable conditions after a frigid start to the day. Skies will remain mostly sunny, and no precipitation is expected.
Officials urge residents to take precautions tonight by protecting sensitive plants, pets, and outdoor plumbing. Those traveling early Tuesday morning should dress in layers and allow extra time for cold conditions.
The cold snap is expected to be brief, with temperatures returning closer to seasonal averages later in the week.

McALLEN, Texas – The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is returning to South Texas College this February, offering free tax preparation services to qualifying residents across the Rio Grande Valley ahead of the April 15 filing deadline.
VITA offices at STC’s Pecan Campus will open Monday Feb. 2, followed by services at the Mid-Valley Campus beginning Tuesday, Feb. 3. The services at both campuses will run for six weeks, concluding March 12 at Mid-Valley and March 14 at Pecan.
The free services, coordinated through STC’s Business Administration program and administered by United Way of South Texas in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service, provides tax preparation for individuals and families earning $67,000 or less, people with disabilities and taxpayers with limited English proficiency.

Services at the Pecan Campus will be offered Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. located in Building P, Room 2.140 located at 3201 W. Pecan Blvd. in McAllen.
The Mid-Valley site will operate Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Pavilion Building, Room B-202 at 400 N. Border Ave. in Weslaco.
Both sites will be closed Feb. 16 and Feb. 25.
The free services, coordinated through STC’s Business Administration program and administered by United Way of South Texas in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service, provides tax preparation for individuals and families earning $67,000 or less, people with disabilities and taxpayers with limited English proficiency.
“We want to make sure that all our volunteers are prepared for this tax preparation opportunity because not only is it such a wonderful experience for them to get involved, it’s also a great way for them earn valuable knowledge in the field, especially for our Accounting students,” said Anay De Leon, STC Accounting program faculty member and coordinator of VITA services. “Tax preparation is usually very expensive, but we offer our services completely free to the community.”
STC began training volunteers this month, preparing both students and community members to become IRS-certified tax preparers and counselors. De Leon said interest has been strong heading into the 2026 season, with increased outreach and growing student preparation.
This year’s VITA season also brings expanded eligibility and new tax law updates that could benefit more taxpayers.
“There are changes involving overtime income, higher deductions for seniors and new credits for certain vehicle purchases,” De Leon said. “Because of this, we are really preparing our volunteers so we can help the community take full advantage of these benefits.”
The VITA program has served the Rio Grande Valley for more than three decades and has partnered with STC for more than 14 years. Last year alone, VITA at STC filed more than 330 tax returns and generated more than $564,000 in refunds for local residents.
Beyond financial relief, the program offers hands-on learning for students pursuing careers in accounting and business.
“It’s very important for young individuals like our students to have humble beginnings and help others,” De Leon said. “We have volunteers as young as 16 who want to be a part of this, not only to help the community, but to learn how to do their own taxes and gain real-world experience.”
De Leon encouraged residents to schedule appointments early and take advantage of the no-cost services.
“I want to encourage the community to come and stop by. Make an appointment and get their taxes filed,” she said. “Save those $300 or $400 you would normally pay. Keep that money in your pocket and take advantage of this opportunity.”
Appointments are handled through United Way of South Texas. For more information about VITA services at STC visit www.southtexascollege.edu/vita/.

The South Texas College Dual Credit Programs highlighted more than two decades of savings to students and their families during its annual School Board Member Appreciation Dinner, also essential to celebrating School Board Appreciation Month.
Nearly 200 superintendents and school members from Dual Credit’s 21 partnering school districts gathered for a night that included a formal dinner catered by Santa Fe Steakhouse and a presentation that showcased savings that have been lifechanging for many of their students.

Since STC’s Dual Credit Programs’ inception in 2000, the program has saved families over $464 million in tuition, has become a nationally recognized model for other dual credit programs and is the only such program in the state of Texas to hold a national accreditation through the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).
“For the past 26 years, everyone in this room has worked together to transform our communities through education,” said Rebecca De Leon, STC associate vice president of Dual Credit Programs and School District Partnerships. “During the month of January, we like to celebrate our school board members, and to be able to highlight the success we’ve seen serving more than 150,000 students together. Without these partnerships, everything we do, would not be possible. This demonstrates our commitment to them and all their students.”
De Leon also highlighted and welcomed four new partners – Santa Maria ISD, Progresso ISD, San Isidro ISD and IDEA P-Tech, all of which focus on career and technical education or cybersecurity pathways.
“Forming these new partnerships is extending our dual credit reach even further,” said De Leon. “All partners have started strong; students have begun their courses and are well on their way to earning college credit or even an associate degree at the end of their program. We are here to support these students every step of the way, provide pathways that benefit their interests and passions and make their dreams come true.”
San Isidro ISD Superintendent Elsa Morris sang praises for STC’s Dual Credit Programs, a longtime follower of its initiatives and success, she said when she reflected on how to take her district to the next level, she knew her students needed this vital opportunity.
“Prior to San Isidro, I worked often with dual credit, and we needed those opportunities at San Isidro also. Our students needed it,” she said. “This partnership has been nearly a year in the making, and now we have 17 students enrolled and we’ve begun to establish a stronger college-going culture in our district thanks to Rebecca De Leon, her team and STC Dual Credit Programs. My goal is to grow this partnership, our dual credit program and get students graduated with associate degrees.”
San Isidro ISD students have begun their college journeys through Communication/Speech and Art, and the district hopes to enroll more students in the summer to help get them ahead.
To grow this program, STC, San Isidro and Region One ESC have collaborated to build rural innovation through dual credit education, partnering San Isidro with Rio Grande City Grulla ISD to continue building dual courses at STC’s Starr County Campus for these students.
“At San Isidro, 90% of our kids are economically disadvantaged and many are first-generation high school students, not college but high school,” she said. “So, this program, along with the savings they see at taking these courses at no cost to them, is a huge advantage and life changing.”
Donna ISD board members were also in attendance and were impressed with the savings they have personally witnessed. As of last year, the school district families have saved $10.2 million.
Donna ISD School Board Vice President Ida Garcia said that STC’s Dual Credit Programs has provided their students with the opportunity of a higher education – something that many of these students may have never thought was possible.
“The impact of the savings our school district families have seen is tremendous,” she said. “Our students now have the chance to get college credit or earn a certification at no charge to them. At Donna ISD, we provide everything for them, so they have a chance to succeed.”
Most recently, Garcia said they formed their first cohort of high school students who are pursuing a certification in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) at STC’s Mid-Valley campus. All the equipment that the students need, such as backpacks, laptops, steel toe boots, HVAC tools and a tool belt, were provided by Donna ISD.
“Thank you STC for giving our students the chance to make a better life for themselves and their families,” said Garcia. “STC is doing a phenomenal job at saving families millions and helping students’ dreams become reality.”
De Leon said she wants the community to know that over the last 26 years, Dual Credit Programs has grown and continues to expand into a program that can be for everyone.
“Many students are sometimes undecided about dual credit, but we want them to know we have something for everyone,” she said. “Our job is to get students college and workforce ready and we’re doing that through Dual Credit. We encourage students to give it a try and realize that anything is possible.”
Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a victory in his lawsuit against VA Claims Insider, LLC (“VACI”).

AUSTIN – Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a victory in his lawsuit against VA Claims Insider, LLC (“VACI”). The lawsuit alleged VACI posed as a legitimate veterans’ assistance organization while deceptively charging disabled veterans fees for what it represented as help navigating the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) benefits and claims process.
Attorney General Paxton’s lawsuit alleged VACI marketed its services as “free” coaching to assist veterans in the preparation, presentation, or prosecution of VA benefit claims, despite not being accredited by the VA to perform those services. The lawsuit further alleged VACI misrepresented its cancellation procedures and its contract terms, including the true cost of services. It also noted that VACI misrepresented its relationship to its recommended medical provider. Then, if veterans refused to pay unexpected fees, VACI initiated burdensome debt collection efforts against them.
“Disabled veterans are our nation’s heroes who put their lives on the line for our country, and no company will be allowed to pose as a legitimate VA service in order to scam and deceive them,” said Attorney General Paxton. “This judgment ensures that disabled veterans are protected from VACI’s fraudulent VA assistance scheme and will not be held responsible for illegitimate debts.”
Under the agreed final judgment and permanent injunction, VACI is prohibited from collecting any debts incurred by consumers who were misled into believing VACI’s services were free. VACI has agreed to forego debt collection on qualifying debts incurred for the past nine years, which is an estimated total of over $6.8 million in debt forgiveness to disabled veterans.

South Texas College is expanding access to free, career-ready clothing by opening two new locations of its Threads Career Closet at the Health Science Professions (HSP) and Technology campuses, helping more students prepare for the workforce at no cost.
Supported by donations from faculty, staff and community partners, the initiative now offers career-specific items such as scrubs, lab coats and fire-resistant clothing, in addition to professional and casual attire.

“Through generous donations, we’re able to provide students with suits, dresses, shirts, ties and other professional and career-specific clothing when they need it most,” said Joanna Nino-Montes, Career Services coordinator. “We’re excited to see how this initiative has grown with the support of the college and our community, allowing us to remove financial barriers so students can succeed in the classroom and the workforce.”
Health science students can now obtain program-specific clothing for free at the new HSP location, including scrubs in designated colors required for each academic program. Graduating students are encouraged to donate gently used scrubs, creating a cycle of support for incoming classes.
“We’re thrilled to see the closet come to life at the Health Science Professions campus,” said Karyna Cruz, STC Career and Placement specialist. “Students can dress professionally, pick up scrubs or donate items to support their peers. We’ve seen incredible generosity from graduates, faculty and staff, creating meaningful full-circle moments.”
For student Stacey Garcia, who plans to apply to the Patient Care Technician, Vocational Nursing and Associate Degree Nursing programs over the next few years, each requiring different colored scrubs, the Threads Career Closet offers a meaningful way to both receive support and give back.
“I took the College Success for Healthcare class a couple of semesters ago, which required khaki-colored scrubs, so I donated mine,” Garcia said. “Now that I’m preparing for another program, I’m using scrubs that were donated by former students. It’s an incredible resource because we don’t have to spend extra money or worry about the cost of uniforms.”
At the Technology campus, the Threads Career Closet also provides professional attire and accepts donations of field-specific clothing and equipment such as safety goggles, boots and gloves required for programs including Welding, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Electrician Technology and Automotive Technology.
The location has partnered with the Share the Love Memorial Scholarship Foundation to operate Daniel’s Closet, a program that honors the memory of Daniel Saldana, a former STC Welding student known for his kindness and passion. Funded by the foundation, Daniel’s Closet provides fire-resistant welding attire to students who may not be able to afford required gear.
“We’re proud to partner with the Share the Love Foundation to support our Welding students,” said Clarissa Gomez, Career and Placement specialist. “Protective gear can be expensive, and this partnership helps ease that burden while ensuring students have what they need to stay safe and succeed.”
Founded by the college’s Career and Employer Services department, the Threads Career Closet has operated at STC’s Pecan campus since 2019, offering students a wide variety of free clothing items and accessories to keep.
Nino-Montes said the resource is also available to alumni for up to one year after graduation to ensure continued support as they enter the workforce.
“At STC, we don’t stop at graduation,” she said. “Alumni can return for clothing and other services, including help connecting with employers, writing resumes and practicing mock interviews. Our support continues whenever they need us.”
She added the Threads Career Closet is designed to be a welcoming, no-questions-asked resource.
“We don’t want students to feel shy or hesitant,” she said. “This is a community service created specifically for them, and anyone is encouraged to use the resource.”
Community donations are always welcome. Donated items should be in good, ready-to-wear condition and appropriate for professional or workplace settings.

AUSTIN — Governor Greg Abbott updated the state’s list of prohibited technologies for state employees and devices. The update, done in consultation with Texas Cyber Command (TXCC) Chief, Vice Admiral TJ White (USN, Ret.), includes additional restrictions on physical hardware, artificial intelligence (AI), and software affiliated with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
“Rogue actors across the globe who wish harm on Texans should not be allowed to infiltrate our state’s network and devices,” said Governor Abbott. “Hostile adversaries harvest user data through AI and other applications and hardware to exploit, manipulate, and violate users and put them at extreme risk. Today, I am expanding the prohibited technologies list to mitigate that risk and protect the privacy of Texans from the People’s Republic of China, the Chinese Communist Party, and any other hostile foreign actors who may attempt to undermine the safety and security of Texas.”
In a letter to Texas Department of Public Safety Colonel Freeman Martin, Texas Department of Information Resources Interim Director Tony Sauerhoff, and Chief White, Governor Abbott named TXCC the lead agency in identifying any additional technology that poses a threat to the State’s sensitive information.
“The Governor and the Legislature gave a clear mission for the Texas Cyber Command – protect Texans from hostile foreign nations and cyber threat actors,” said Chief White. “As TXCC works to stand up its full arsenal of operational assets, we are pleased to lead this effort to prevent cyber attacks that have the potential to exfiltrate sensitive information to bad actors across the globe.”
In June, Governor Abbott established the TXCC, the largest state-based cybersecurity department in America, to combat cyber threats and holistically enhance the state’s cybersecurity posture, coordination, and strategy.
At the direction of Governor Abbott, the following technologies were added to the prohibited technology list after a threat assessment executed by TXCC:

AUSTIN — Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) proudly announce Texas’ participation in the International Year of the Woman Farmer in 2026, a global designation honoring the indispensable role women play in agriculture and food systems worldwide. Throughout the year, TDA will join all 49 states and 123 nations in recognizing the leadership, resilience, and impact of women farmers and ranchers.
“Through hardship and prosperity alike, strong Texas women have always been at the heart of our agricultural success,” Commissioner Miller said. “From supervising households and working the land to running businesses and selling their own products, Texas women have shaped agriculture from the very beginning. I’m proud to kick off a year-long celebration honoring their contributions and legacy.”
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, women made up approximately 36% of U.S. agricultural producers in 2022, totaling nearly 1.2 million women nationwide. Their influence extends beyond production to advocacy, education, entrepreneurship, and community leadership—strengthening rural America at every level.
Texas leads the nation with 152,291 women agricultural producers, representing 39% of the state’s farmers and ranchers and managing nearly 43 million acres of farmland. Texas also ranks third nationally in women-owned businesses, many of which are tied directly to agriculture. Meanwhile, women continue to pursue agriculture-related degrees in growing numbers, including in veterinary medicine, soil science, and agricultural finance.
This momentum is expected to continue as agriculture enters a generational transition. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. farmland is held by producers nearing retirement age, with about one-third projected to change hands over the next two decades. As new producers step forward, they will confront challenges such as access to capital, market development, and recovery from natural disasters.
The Texas Department of Agriculture remains committed to supporting women farmers and ranchers by expanding access to financial assistance, marketing tools, education, and disaster recovery programs—ensuring both new and established producers can thrive now and into the future. Texans are encouraged to learn more about available TDA programs by visiting the agency’s website.
“Texas agriculture wouldn’t be what it is without the grit, determination, and leadership of women,” Commissioner Miller said. “From family farms to major agribusinesses, women are shaping the future of agriculture every day. As we recognize the International Year of the Woman Farmer, let’s honor the women who feed, clothe, and fuel Texas—and make sure they have the tools to keep our agricultural
