Texas DPS Troopers Have New Rides

The Texas Department of Public Safety has been issuing new "Ghost" units to Troopers. The Ghost units are slick top, meaning no roof mounted lightbars, and have Ghost graphics which are colored to blend with the factory paint while still just barely visible. At night the graphics are highly reflective. The emergency lighting is below the roof line. The Ghost units still sport the traditional white hood and push bumper.

Texas DPS explains that "these low-profile rides are built to blend in, giving our Troopers the edge in spotting dangerous drivers and keeping our roads safe. Whether you see us or not… we’re out there, watching, protecting, and serving."

The Ghost units are primarily Ford Explorer Interceptor models. There is at least one roaming the Paris district which includes Lamar, Fannin, Hopkins, Rains and Hunt Counties

‼️Governor Abbott Announces Federal Approval Of SNAP Healthy Foods Waiver‼️

Restricts Purchases of Sweetened Drinks, Candy, Beginning April 1, 2026

Governor Greg Abbott today announced that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) received federal approval for his request to prohibit the purchase of sweetened drinks and candy with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

“By restricting unhealthy foods from being purchased with SNAP benefits, Texas can help ensure the health and well-being of Texans,” said Governor Abbott. “The new SNAP guidelines will ensure taxpayer dollars are used to purchase foods that provide real nutritional value. I thank Secretary Brooke Rollins and the Trump Administration for their approval of Texas’ waiver to promote healthy eating habits. Working together, we will build a stronger, healthier Texas.”

“Access to healthy foods is important, and SNAP is important to millions of families,” said HHSC Deputy Executive Commissioner of Access and Eligibility Services Molly Regan. “These changes will help Texans improve their health outcomes, well-being, and quality of life.”

Earlier this year, Governor Abbott submitted a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service requesting a waiver to prohibit SNAP benefits from being used to purchase sweetened drinks and candy.

Starting April 1, 2026, recipients will not be allowed to use SNAP benefits to purchase candy, drinks containing artificial sweeteners, or drinks containing five grams or more of added sugar. HHSC is educating retailers on SNAP eligible foods and enforcement.

SNAP is a federal program administered by HHSC that increases access to nutritious foods and provides food assistance to approximately 3.5 million low-income Texans. Benefits allow clients to purchase foods like fruits and vegetables, meats, cereals, milk, plants, and garden seeds. SNAP benefits can also be used to buy food online.

Visit the HHSC SNAP Food Benefits webpage for more information. Texas residents can also dial 2-1-1 to learn about SNAP and other programs and services.

Delta Flight 191 40 Year Anniversary

On August 2, 1985, the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar operating as Delta Flight 191 encountered a microburst while on approach to land at DFW. The aircraft impacted ground just over one mile short of the runway, struck a car on SH114, collided with two water tanks and disintegrated. Out of the 163 occupants on board, 136 people died and 25 others were injured in the accident. One person on the ground also died. Flight 191 was on approach to DFW Airport passing over New Orleans when storms broke out along the Gulf of Mexico and near DFW Airport. Flight 191 was diverted to what is called the Blue Ridge Approach, which took the airliner over Lamar, Fannin, Collin and Dallas Counties. At 18:05:36 pm the plane began a decent from which it never recovered. At 18:05:52 the landing gear made contact with the ground in a field across SH114 from the runway, the plane crossed SH114 striking signs, light poles and a Toyota Corolla, killing the driver in what is considered the first fatality of the flight 191 crash. The plane continued through a fence then began coming apart as it struck water tanks on airport property.
