Mallory Yancy grabs a basket and pulls out colorful shirt after colorful shirt. Her brother, Mason, used to pair these with a patterned kimono, a feather earring and a cowboy hat, she remembered. Mason was loud, eclectic and bold. He was generous and he could befriend anyone, Mallory said. “He really would show up for people that he loved,” she said. “That was something he was really good at.” Mallory’s Arlington home is now full of her brother’s belongings.

Months after passing sweeping changes to its reappraisal plan, Tarrant Appraisal District board members will meet March 12 to discuss whether some of those changes should be walked back. The meeting follows outcry from school district leaders who say the policies could lead to funding cuts. “The board will have a work session to discuss, in general, what the plan is and the issues the schools have brought up,” Chief Appraiser Joe Don Bobbitt said.

Deaths from police chases are at an all-time high. These pursuits and their sometimes fatal consequences have come into sharper focus in cities like Fort Worth.
