The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Local government good ol’ boy bricks-for-brains running Palo Pinto County decided to infringe on political speech at election time as they are still upset that their buddy, state Rep.

We visit with Ben Armenta, chairman candidate for the Texas Republican Party.
