Good morning, McAllen.

A fire in Weslaco destroyed the Pena family's mobile home and took the lives of their six dogs and two newborn puppies — the blaze spread in just ten minutes and neighbors kept a nearby propane tank safe — leaving the family without a home as they ask for community support.

A three-judge panel from the appeals court ruled this week that Attorney General Ken Paxton cannot question Sister Norma Pimentel of Catholic Charities under oath before a lawsuit is filed—upholding a lower court decision from last year.

Paxton’s office had to show that the benefits of asking questions before a suit outweighed the cost to the charity—an argument the court found unsupported.
