Voters who go to the polls for municipal and school board elections on May 7 will also be asked to decide on two proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution.

Less than a week remains before the Jan. 31 deadline to register to vote in the March 1 primary. While Secretary of State John Scott publicly assured Texas voters that “every single eligible Texas voter will be able to register to vote if they have not done so already,” the League of Women Voters on Friday threatened to sue his office if the nonpartisan group isn’t provided with additional voter registration forms.

Back when I was growing up in Bernardo, I thought I loved to fish. There were two tanks. Yes, tanks. Ponds are for city folks. These two tanks were within walking distance of my home. One was across the road and in a pasture that you could see fish just jumping and playing and sticking their tongues out at me. The other tank was further back and was quite a large body of water. I didn’t think the small tank had as many fish in it as the larger one. I envisioned my stringer full of fish at the end of an hour. Well, hours passed and neither the small tank nor the large tank gave up its bounty of fish.
