Texas is moving to broaden its involvement in the space economy, according to a report from KXAN Austin. The state has been building on its existing space footprint, including SpaceX operations near Boca Chica and the Johnson Space Center in Houston, as commercial space activity grows across the country. Details of the expansion were limited in initial coverage.

Authorities in north Travis County, Texas, say an investigation has determined that a case initially believed to be a murder-suicide was in fact a double homicide, and an arrest has been made. Local outlets including KXAN Austin and BorderReport report the development as a significant turn in the case, with the suspect now in custody.
