PARKER COUNTY - It's been a tumultuous 24 hours for a young Chihuahua mix named Pumpkin. "She would like to take a nap," said Parker County Animal Control Supervisor Karen Kessler, whose arms Pumpkin was nuzzling into. The tiny pup was found Thursday, roaming a lot in rural Weatherford. A woman named Vanessa was the one who discovered her. "It was very skittish at first," Vanessa said of the dog. "It didn't want [to go] anywhere near me."

Former President George H.W. Bush will endorse Republican Roger Williams this afternoon for the U.S. Senate seat that Kay Bailey Hutchison now holds.

David Dewhurst is also considering a run. Roger Williams is a Weatherford car dealer and former Texas secretary of state who was a major Republican donor before he was a candidate. The Bush endorsement could give his campaign a nice boost, particularly since the field is crowded and...

In 2007 Weatherford International, an oil service firm with roots in Houston, discovered it might have a bribery problem on its hands--one or more of its employees might have paid bribes in Europe.

By that time Jacobson had left Justice to join Fulbright as a partner and started doing compliance work for none...

County commissioners reaffirmed their stance against the Trans-Texas Corridor, and they took another step toward keeping county government transparent when they met Tuesday. First up on the court's agenda, commissioners heard a presentation by Connie Fogle on behalf of the newly formed Pineywoods Sub-Regional Planning Commission. According to Fogle, the Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 391, requires state agencies to coordinate with local commissions to "ensure effective and orderly implementation of state programs at the regional level." "Critical in the code is the word 'coordinate,'" she said. "This does not mean the commission has to cooperate. The intent is to...

Today marks 10th anniversary of state's deadliest traffic day; 46 died Associated Press DALLAS (AP) — The moment is seared in Mike Scrivner's mind. The screams of children trapped in their burning van. The helpless feeling of a firefighter without water or a fire truck. The retired Fort Worth fireman was off duty on July 3, 1994, when he drove by the wreckage of a van that had burst into flames after it was hit by a tractor-trailer.
