Tom Cruise posted a video on social media last week announcing a trip to Dallas to promote the premiere of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. "On May 22, I'm coming to the great state of Texas," he said in the post on May 8. Cruise said he would make a stop in San Antonio first, "Then we're going to fly to Dallas, where I'm going to get some delicious barbecue before going to more theaters to say hello," he said.

The Texas legislative session is winding down, but a bill still on the table is concerning homeless advocates. SB 2623 could force shelters across the state to shut down by creating buffer zones around schools and parks. Supporters say it's needed to protect kids, but advocates, like Jill Scigliano, warn of devastating impacts on the homeless. Scigliano is CEO of The Samaritan Inn in McKinney, the largest homeless shelter in Collin County. She says it serves more than 200 people per night.
