Preview Of “Aquifers 101” Education Meeting For Those Interested In Learning About Water Supplies In Brazos And Robertson Counties

The Brazos Valley groundwater conservation district (BVGCD) and Brazos County commission are hosting an education meeting for those interested in learning about water supplies in Brazos and Robertson counties. The “Aquifers 101” gathering is Tuesday (June 30) starting at 6 p.m. at the Brazos Center. Kathy Polzer of the groundwater conservation district says they are hearing more questions about water sources in light of proposed data centers, what may be happening in Grimes County, and severe shortages in Corpus Christi. Polzer also said “Maybe up until now we’ve just kind of taken it for granted that the water is going to come whenever we need it and it’s going to be there for us. And so, people have questions (of) all of a sudden we’re concerned that it (the water is) not going to be there when we need it.” Tuesday’s meeting consists of a presentation and a question and answer period.

Bryan Man Admits To Aggravated Sexual Abuse Of A Child And Possession Of Child Pornography

The Brazos County district attorney’s office announces a Bryan man will be in prison for at least 20 years before he becomes eligible for parole. That’s after 38 year old Jason Wayne Davis admitted to aggravated sexual abuse of a child and possessing child pornography. The DA’s news release says a plea agreement that includes a 40 year sentence was reached after speaking with the victim’s family to protect the victim from the trauma of a trial. WTAW News received a message from a member of the victim’s family, who says two years of assaults started when the victim was seven. The family member, who WTAW News won’t identify because that would identify the victim, said they believed Davis’s sentence was going to be 75 years and they would have never agreed to 40 years. And the family member said the victim will always have to deal with images and videos he took and posted where they will be seen by other sexual predators. News release from the Brazos County district attorney’s office: A Bryan man was sentenced to 40 years in prison on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, after pleading guilty to Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child. As part of a plea agreement, 38-year-old Jason Davis also pled guilty to five counts of Possession of Child Pornography. He received 35 years in prison for each of those counts. The investigation began in July 2025. The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from the Texas Attorney General’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Division. The tip showed that child pornography was being shared from Davis’s address. Investigators obtained a search warrant for the home. Inside, they found numerous illegal images and videos, including photos that were taken of a child inside the house. Deputies identified the victim in the photos. Forensic interviewers spoke with her and the other children living in the home at Scotty’s House Child Advocacy Center. During an interview with law enforcement, Davis confessed to the abuse. He admitted to sexually assaulting the child on multiple occasions and taking photos of the acts. Davis told officers the abuse happened over several months, sometimes while the victim was asleep. Because Davis was convicted of aggravated offenses, Texas law requires him to serve at least half of his 40 year sentence before he can apply for parole. Prosecutors reached this plea deal after speaking closely with the victim’s family to protect the child from the trauma of a trial. Statement from assistant Brazos County district attorney Kara Comte: “Any case of child abuse is a tragedy. What makes inter-net crimes even worse is that these images remain online forever, extending the harm long after the physical abuse stops. This 40-year sentence brings justice to the defendant and allows this brave survivor to focus entirely on their healing.”
