Second A&M Consolidated Student Arrested With THC Vape On Campus
In the span of eight days, two students at A&M Consolidated High School have found themselves behind bars after being caught with THC vapes at school. A 17-year-old student was arrested on Tuesday (September 1, 2026) after a vape fell out of his pocket while being escorted to the office by a school resource officer. A field test showed a positive result for THC above 0.3%. He was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance in a Drug-Free Zone, a third-degree felony. That student is free on $15,000 bond. Another student was arrested at AMCHS on August 25th for having a THC vape.
Legislation Could Bring Federal Courthouse to College Station
A Federal Courthouse is likely coming to College Station. The final cog will fall into place after a signature from President Trump. The Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved (JUDGES) Act was presented to President Joe Biden in 2024, but he vetoed it. It would add 63 new permanent U.S. district court judgeships throughout the United States over a 10-year period. In Texas, it adds 13 new district judges, in all four judicial districts. A related bill called the Local Access to Courts Act (S. 32), specifically names College Station as an authorized location for federal district court proceedings. College Station will be part of the Southern District of Texas (SDTX) Houston Division. The SDTX is currently comprised of seven divisions with federal district courts in Houston, Galveston, Victoria, Corpus Christi, Brownsville, McAllen and Laredo. Houston is the headquarters for the counties of Austin, Brazos, Colorado, Fayette, Fort Bend, Grimes, Harris, Madison, Montgomery, San Jacinto, Walker, Waller, and Wharton. Adding a courthouse in College Station means cases involving Brazos County litigants will no longer be forced to travel to a Houston courtroom to have their cases heard.
