"Ensuring access tohealthy food in our communi-ties is an important part of ourresponse to this pandemic,"Abbott said.
This one-time benefit of$285 per eligible child can beused in the same way as Sup-plemental Nutrition Assis-tance Program food benefitsto pay for groceries. Eligiblefamilies include those withchildren who lost access tofree or reduced-price schoolmeals through the NationalSchool Lunch Program due toschool closures.
The Texas Health and Hu-man Services Commissionpartnered with the Texas De-
partment of Agriculture andthe Texas Education Agencyto launch the $1 billion feder-al program on June 1 in re-sponse to the COVID-19 pan-demic.
Winner to faceincumbent
In the top spot on the July14 Democratic primary elec-tion runoff ballot are stateSen. Royce West of Dallasand former U.S. Air Force of-ficer Mary "MJ" Hegar ofRound Rock. The winner willface incumbent RepublicanU.S. Sen. John Cornyn in theNov. 3 election.
West, an attorney whosecurrent term as a state senatorwill expire in 2022, has beena member of the body since1993. He serves as vice chairof the Senate Higher Educa-tion Committee and is amember of Senate commit-tees on Administration, Edu-cation and Finance.
Hegar has 12 years of mili-tary experience, includingthree tours as a helicopter pi-lot in Afghanistan, where sheflew combat search andrescue and medical evacua-
tion missions. She is a re-cipient of the Purple Heartand the Distinguished Fly-ing Cross with Valor.
Cornyn, of San Antonio,a member of the U.S. Sen-ate since 2002, previouslyserved as an associate jus-tice of the Texas SupremeCourt from 1992 to 1997and as Texas attorney gen-eral from 1999 to 2002.
Revenue total isdown
State sales tax revenuetotaled $2.67 billion inJune, an amount 6.5% lessthan the amount reportedfor the month of June 2019,Texas Comptroller GlennHegar said on July 1.
The decline in collec-tions was driven principal-
ly by steep drops in remit-tances from oil- and gas-re-lated sectors. Collectionsfrom the construction andamusement service sectorsalso were down sharply,Hegar said.
However, “While collec-tions from restaurants alsowere depressed, the extentof the decline was checkedby increased takeout anddelivery sales," Hegar said."And retail trade receiptsrose significantly, buoyedby increased online shop-ping and building materialpurchases, as businesspremises were modifiedfor COVID-19 precau-tions."
The majority of Junesales tax revenue is basedon sales made in May andremitted to the agency inJune.
DPS arrests two more suspects for crimes related to protestsAUSTIN – The Texas
Department of Public Safe-ty (DPS) arrested two moresuspects in connection withrioting and vandalism thatoccurred during protestsnear the Texas State Capitolin May.
Last weekend, DPS Spe-cial Agents executed arrestwarrants for Joe PaulMitchell, 56, of Austin,Texas, as well as a 16-year-old male.
The first arrest occurredon the evening of Friday,July 3, 2020, when DPSSpecial Agents obtainedmultiple arrest warrants for
Mitchell that included riot-ing, resisting arrest andevading arrest. Video postedon social media showsMitchell attacking and kick-ing a DPS patrol vehicleduring the protest at theTexas State Capitol on May30, 2020.
When confronted byTroopers, Mitchell first re-sisted arrest, then tried toescape. As Troopers tried toarrest him, a group of pro-testors surrounded them, at-tempting to free Mitchell.Troopers were able to moveMitchell to a safe location,confirm his identity and re-
lease him. On July 3, 2020, DPS
Special Agents obtained ar-rest warrants for Mitchelland he was taken into cus-tody without incident.
The second arrest oc-curred on Sunday, July 5,2020, after DPS SpecialAgents received arrest war-rants for a 16-year-old malefor resisting arrest, criminalmischief, evading arrest andtwo counts of riot. Surveil-lance from May 30, 2020,shows the teen, and 18-year-old Gerald GovanBrown, who has alreadybeen charged, spray paint-
ing the Texas State Capitol.(Read more about Brown’sarrest in a press releasehere.) At that time, Troopersattempted to stop and arrestthe teen, who resisted andfled.
