    On Wednesday, the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 13, a new piece of legislation that aims to give parents greater control over what their children are reading in schools. The bill builds on House Bill 290 from the previous legislative session, which regulates reading materials sold or included in public school libraries. According to PEN America, there were 538 reported instances of book bans across Texas in the 2023-2024 school year.

    Austin is buzzing with excitement this weekend as it hosts the first two rounds of the Women's March Madness, and Longhorn fans are out in full force, showing their unwavering support for the University of Texas women's basketball team. Hours before tip-off, a sea of burnt orange engulfed the area outside the Moody Center, where the number one ranked Texas women's basketball team is competing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

    Students are excited for one last home game they weren't expecting this season. On Saturday, Texas lost to Georgia in the SEC Championship. If the Longhorns won, they would've received a first round bye in the newly structured 12-team playoff format. With the loss, the number five Longhorns will play Clemson on December 21. Being the higher seed in the bracket, Texas will host Clemson for one final home game of the year. "The 5 seed is a good spot to be in," UT student, Ryan Jones said.

"The sixth time I was just wondering if anybody was going to hear me screaming for help." Michelle Danos recounts the rabid fox in San Marcos attacking her six times while she was hiking. She is walking with one crutch as the wound is still bleeding from Sunday. @cbsaustin https://t.co/uyUiCZlrXk

Pflugerville Police told me they are not doing media interviews, but will be sending out new info about the missing children and AMBER Alerts EOD/tomorrow. Now, the PIO tells me they will not be sharing new info because they are kids, and they were found safe. @cbsaustin https://t.co/3FGURNBoaB
