Results Of Two Brazos County Special Election Questions Are Ruled Invalid

More than 55,000 Brazos County voters agreed to create two local laws requiring livestock to be fenced in. But the day after the November 5th election, county officials announce that those results are invalid. Brazos County general counsel Bruce Erratt told WTAW News that he learned the day after the election that state law for the livestock special questions restricts voting to Brazos County “freeholders” who are registered to vote in Brazos County. Erratt says he interprets “freeholders” as landowners. Erratt says county officials will be seeking guidance from the secretary of state’s office to conduct a special election if they receive a second round of qualified petitions. Texas state law allows cattle, horses, mules, hogs, sheep, and goats to roam free unless qualified voters approve special questions requiring those animals to be fenced in.

Bryan Police Traffic Stop Leads To A Brazos County Sheriff’s Office Arrest For Promoting Prostitution

A Houston man arrested by Bryan police October 8th for attempting to avoid a traffic stop returns to the Brazos County jail for promoting prostitution. The arrest report from the Brazos County sheriff’s office says the prostitution arrest followed a joint investigation with Bryan police and the FBI. The investigation began after BPD officers found during the October traffic stop, more than $17,000 dollars in cash and a key card to a local motel room. The suspect’s wife told investigators that she stayed in the motel room as a prostitute, which is something that her husband denied. 35 year old Walter Nunez-Toledano, who was released from jail on a $3,000 dollar bond following his October arrest for attempting to elude an officer, was booked November 5th for promoting prostitution. As of November 7th, Toledano remained in jail in lieu of a $170,000 dollar bond.

College Station City Council Awards A Contract To Study The Feasibility Of A Convention Center

The College Station city council awards a contract to study the feasibility of a convention center. The consultant will receive up to $80,000 dollars if the council decides to do both phases of the study. The breakdown was explained by the city’s tourism manager Jeremiah Cook in response to a question from councilman Bob Yancy. The first phase, which is expected to take eight weeks to complete, includes interviewing local stakeholders, collecting information about hotels and convention business here and in other cities, and compile local convention and meeting data from the last seven years. If the council decides to continue, the second phase includes evaluating sites and determining a convention center’s feasibility, financing, economic impact, and return on investment. The decision whether to proceed with the study’s second phase will be made with three new council members following the November general election. The feasibility study is the latest step since the council brought up the idea of a convention center in May of 2023.
