Lights FC Can’t Overcome First Half Deficit in 2-1 Loss at San Antonio FC

SAN ANTONIO, TX – A momentum changer in the 72nd minute ended up being the difference maker in Lights FC’s defeat on the road against San Antonio FC by a score of 2-1.

With Las Vegas trailing 1-0 and pushing forward trying to tie the match, the Texas side cleared the ball from a corner kick only to end up being struck by Mobi Fehir whose left-footed kick made its way through a crowded box and past goalkeeper Matthew Cardone for what seemed to be the equalizer … until it was denied by the officiating crew for an offside position being called.

10 minutes later a counter attack play set up by Jack Barmby left Ever Guzman with a one-on-one opportunity against Thomas Olsen, with the Mexican forward taking advantage of it to seal San Antonio FC’s first win of the 2019 USL Championship season.

"We’ve played in very difficult venues on the road, not being able to get any points out of them is really hurting us right now", said Lights FC manager Eric Wynalda. "We’re disappointed with the result, it has been an on-going theme on the road where we’ve played well enough to deserve points". Lights FC’s match against San Antonio FC was a physical one, with a total of 20 fouls conceded and each team being booked with 3 yellow cards.

San Antonio took the lead early in the match after a miscommunication between defender Javan Torre and goalkeeper Thomas Olsen left Bradford Jamieson, L.A. Galaxy loanee, with a clear opportunity to open the score in the 16th minute of play.

"We put ourselves behind by giving away a goal, a very clear mistake", stated Wynalda. "As we get better as a group, we need to be more patient on the ball. We gave the ball away so cheaply tonight".

Las Vegas has out-shot each of their USL Championship opponents in regular season action, taking a total of 18 shots against San Antonio’s 12 on Saturday night. Both teams ended up with 4 shots on goal, with Lights FC having the final one of the match with Irvin Parra’s penalty kick strike that spoiled Cardone’s clean sheet, leaving the final score 2-1 in favor of the Alamo City’s team.

SCORING SUMMARY

16′ | 1-0, San Antonio FC – Bradford Jamieson 83′ | 2-0, San Antonio FC – Ever Guzman 90+5′ | 2-1, Las Vegas Lights FC – Irvin Parra (PK) Irvin Parra scored his first regular season goal with Lights FC by executing a penalty kick during the second half’s added time.

Democrats hold on to Texas House seat in San Antonio special election runoff

Democrat Ray Lopez defeated Republican Fred Rangel, 58 percent to 42 percent, according to unofficial returns.

Democrats easily kept control of a Texas House seat Tuesday night, holding off another push by the state’s top Republicans to flip a solidly blue district in a special election runoff.

With all precincts reporting, Democrat Ray Lopez defeated Republican Fred Rangel, 58 percent to 42 percent, according to unofficial returns. Rangel called Lopez to concede minutes after the final results came in.

Lopez, a former member of the San Antonio City Council, is now set to replace former state Rep. Justin Rodriguez, D-San Antonio. Rodriguez gave up the seat in January to become a Bexar County commissioner.

Rangel, a longtime GOP activist, had the support of high-ranking Texas Republicans, including Gov. Greg Abbott and U.S. Sen. John Cornyn. They had hoped to replicate the success they had last year in Senate District 19, where they captured a seat under similar circumstances.

But Democrats were determined to prevent another humiliating upset, and they presented a more organized, united front once Lopez advanced to the runoff. In congratulating Lopez on Tuesday night, the Texas Democratic Party noted it invested over $15,000 to help Lopez with things like digital ads and a vote-by-mail program.

"The Texas Democratic Party leveraged our voter engagement programs to make sure Ray Lopez won tonight and to build our Party infrastructure for 2020," state party chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said in a statement.

Republicans, meanwhile, expressed some optimism in defeat. Texas GOP Chairman James Dickey claimed in a statement that Rangel "forced Democrats to feverishly work to keep their hold in this longtime blue district and awakened more Republicans to vote in this special election."

Rangel finished first in the initial Feb. 12 contest, getting 38 percent of the vote to 20 percent for Lopez. Rangel was the only GOP candidate in the race, while Lopez faced three fellow Democrats. They backed him in the runoff, as did every Democratic member of the Bexar County delegation to Austin.

Lopez celebrated the win at his election night party with Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro, the former San Antonio mayor and U.S. housing secretary. Castro’s twin brother, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio, represented HD-125 from 2003-13.

The HD-125 runoff was the final contest since the November midterms to fill a vacant seat in the Legislature. After Lopez and state Rep.-elect Christina Morales, D-Houston, take office in the coming days, all 150 House seats will be occupied again, with 83 Republicans and 67 Democrats.

Around 2,000 public housing units in San Antonio don’t have air conditioning; city hopes to change that

FILE – Petra Delarosa (right) and her nephew, Roque L. Resendez, sit on her porch at the Alazan Courts public housing complex. Most of the complex’s concrete buildings have no central air conditioning.

Diego Bernal was at a meeting last summer with Beacon Hill Elementary School parents when he heard someone mention their family’s public housing apartment — run by the San Antonio Housing Authority — didn’t have air conditioning.

The state representative and former city councilman assumed their AC unit must have been broken, but the person clarified that they didn’t have any air conditioning at all.

In a city that had 27 days last year that surpassed 100 degrees, Bernal said, that’s unacceptable.

“I said, ‘you’re (expletive) kidding me,’” Bernal said. “I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t wrap my head around it.”

OnExpressNews.com: City of San Antonio, firefighters union trade a few blows in the latest round of negotiations, but agree to noncontroversial contract provisions

He started looking into the issue and discovered it was more common than most would have guessed. As many as 2,500 of SAHA’s 6,000 public housing units don’t provide air conditioning, according to the agency. An unknown number of residents have procured their own appliances, but one third of those affected are elderly or disabled — “the most vulnerable among us,” Bernal pointed out.

The city is closer to rectifying the situation at Bernal’s request. He and Deputy City Manager Peter Zanoni forged a partnership between the city, SAHA and philanthropist Gordon Hartman to put $1.4 million into making sure those apartments get window air conditioning units before summer. Most of the public investment would come from redirected federal grants.

A City Council committee unanimously approved the plan Wednesday; the full council is expected to vote March 21.

“It’s not even a quality-of-life issue, it’s a life issue,” Bernal told the Express-News. He said the lack of air conditioning in public housing raises questions about public health and dignity in a place like South Texas.

OnExpressNews.com: San Antonio approves $5.7M in incentives to East Side tech redevelopment project

Pastor Jimmy Drennan of St. Margaret Mary Church on the Southeast Side said he’s witnessed the effects at the nearby Fair Avenue Apartments, a high-rise SAHA property directly across from his church.

“Unfortunately they struggle with that all the time,” he said. “Many times they come to the church to try to stay cool.”

David Nisivoccia, SAHA’s chief executive officer and president, said the agency was aware of the issue but consistently faces a dearth of resources. The agency’s last physical needs assessment indicated close to $500 million of necessary improvements.

“It’s very difficult to manage an aging portfolio that requires such investment when we only received … $11 million a year,” he said. “Our first priority usually are life safety items.”

Bernal’s project had the support of all five council committee members Wednesday.

The city would redirect grants it gets from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to devote $500,000 to the cause. SAHA would chip in $500,000 from its own HUD grants and other resources, and Hartman’s philanthropic venture would provide the rest.

“It’s not often in these jobs that we get to do something that really changes someone’s life, day-to-day,” Bernal said, “and I think this could do that.”

Despite Weekend Rain, Drought Restrictions Return to San Antonio

A chunk of limestone from the Edwards Aquifer shows the pores and crevices that allow the rock layer to hold and carry water.

After more than six months of relatively stable water levels in the Edwards Aquifer, the average level of the water below San Antonio has dipped low enough for mandatory outdoor watering cutbacks to kick in.

The 10-day average level of the J-17 well that monitors the Edwards Aquifer below San Antonio has stayed below 660 feet above mean sea level, according to the San Antonio Water System.

That means City Manager Sheryl Sculley, in consultation with SAWS President and CEO Robert Puente, must declare Stage 1 watering restrictions, as required by City ordinance.

The restriction limits use of outdoor sprinkler systems to once per week, before 11 a.m. and after 7 p.m., based on the last number of a resident’s address. The assigned days are:

0 or 1 – Monday 2 or 3 – Tuesday 4 or 5 – Wednesday 6 or 7 – Thursday 8 or 9 – Friday

A Sunday rainstorm that dropped 1 to 3 inches on parts of San Antonio wasn’t enough to push that average back over 660 feet.

San Antonio has not seen drought restrictions since they were last lifted on Oct. 17, 2017.

National Asset Services Leases Houston Freestanding Big Box Retail Location in Three Months – San Antonio Business Journal

HOUSTON, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — National Asset Services (NAS), one of the Country’s leading commercial real estate management companies, has successfully leased an 87,596 square-foot, big box retail location just three months after being named the property’s asset and property management company.

NAS executives assumed responsibility of the asset on behalf of a 21-member tenant-in-common (TIC) investment group in December 2017. An aggressive and proactive awareness effort by the NAS management team prompted heightened interest and subsequent execution of a 15-year, NNN lease by Gander Outdoors, a national outdoor-focused retailer that features hunting, camping, fishing, shooting, and active sports merchandise. The new Gander Outdoors store is already under construction and is expected to open later this Spring.

NAS management was able to save property ownership a substantial amount of their investment capital by: overseeing and negotiating the lease terms in-house; minimizing the downtime of the property’s cash flow through expedited negotiations; and by working with a rebranded version of the former tenant (Gander Mountain) eliminating the need for demolition, allowing for a quick turnaround of the property to reopen in weeks instead of months.

Execution of the Gander Outdoors lease comes at a time when even well- located retail property is experiencing flat rent growth and a vacancy uptick nationally.

"We are extremely pleased to have successfully expedited the leasing process at this property at favorable terms, while saving a substantial amount of money for our clients," commented Shirlee J. Kingsley, Vice President, National Asset Services. "This is another example of our company’s ability to quickly make a positive impact on property performance."

Constructed in 2004, the freestanding building is situated on 8.65 acres and located along Interstate 45, approximately 21 miles north of downtown Houston in the submarket of Spring, Texas.

Property management responsibilities will be directed out of NAS’ Austin, TX office, while asset management will be directed from the Company’s headquarters in Los Angeles, CA.

UPDATE: FedEx gives “extensive evidence” to authorities

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — 3:45 p.m.

Image Source: Argash / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 3.0 / MGN

FedEx says it has turned over "extensive evidence" to authorities after a package exploded at its processing center in the town of Schertz, south of Austin.

In a statement, the company says "the individual responsible" for sending the package that blew up also shipped a second package that has been secured and turned over to law enforcement.

FedEx says it gave authorities evidence "related to these packages and the individual that shipped them collected from our advanced technology security systems."

A company spokeswoman subsequently refused to say if that second package might have been linked to a suspicious package that authorities seized at another FedEx shipping facility on Tuesday, this one in south Austin, near the city’s airport.

No arrests have been made in the five bombings that have rocked the Austin area since March 2

___

3:25 p.m.

The chairman of the U.S. House Homeland Security committee says he thinks the latest package explosion in Texas will lead to more evidence, "hopefully fingerprints and surveillance photos."

Congressman Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas, made the comments Tuesday at a White House roundtable discussion on so-called sanctuary cities. It’s not clear whether McCaul was speaking with knowledge of specific information in the case.

McCaul also thanked President Donald Trump for sending 500 federal agents to Austin "to find this perpetrator and bring him to justice."

A package exploded early Tuesday at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says the package was sent from Austin and was addressed to a home in Austin.

Four other package bombs have exploded in Austin since March 2.

___

3:10 p.m.

An employee at a FedEx center in Austin says managers ordered workers outside before sunrise after a suspicious package showed up.

Bryan Jaimes told reporters Tuesday he estimates there were about 60 people working at the facility near the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport when the building was cleared out.

The 19-year-old package handler says workers left calmly and that he’s glad he made it out safe. He returned to the center hours later hoping to be allowed back in to get his car and phone. The facility remains closed.

Jaimes says he never received new guidance from managers about handling packages as Austin authorities look for what they’ve called a "serial bomber." He said his job is to load the trucks.

1:20 p.m.

The San Antonio Police Department says its police chief was mistaken when he said that investigators found a second package bomb that hadn’t detonated at a FedEx distribution center.

The department says in a news release police Chief William McManus misspoke at a news conference earlier Tuesday and that there was only one package bomb at the Schertz facility — the one that exploded.

It forwarded any inquiries to the FBI and Austin Police Department.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton earlier told The Associated Press that there was a "suspicion" of another package, but he stopped short of confirming there were two.

Officials say the package bomb that exploded early Tuesday apparently went out from a FedEx store in the Austin enclave of Sunset Valley and was addressed to an Austin home. It blew up on a conveyer belt at the FedEx ground center in Schertz, which is outside of San Antonio and about 60 miles (95 kilometers) southwest of Austin.

___

12:45 p.m.

Austin police say they’ve called the bomb squad to investigate a suspicious package at a FedEx shipping center outside of the city’s airport.

Austin police spokeswoman Destiny Winston said Tuesday that the package was reported shortly before sunrise. She says federal investigators were called to the scene as a precaution due to "past events."

Four package bombs have detonated in Austin this month, killing two people and injuring four others. A fifth that officials say was sent from the Austin area to an address in Austin exploded early Tuesday at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio, where investigators found another parcel bomb that hadn’t exploded.

___

12:30 p.m.

Austin police say they’ve responded to more than 1,200 calls in the last two weeks from people worried that suspicious packages could be bombs.

Police said Tuesday that they’ve responded to 1,257 calls since March 12, when packages exploded at two homes in Austin, killing a 17-year-old and injuring two others. On March 2, a 39-year-old man was killed when a package bomb exploded.

On Sunday, a bomb triggered by a tripwire injured two men in a quiet neighborhood in southwest Austin.

Police say that between 8 a.m. Monday and 8 a.m. Tuesday, they responded to 420 calls about suspicious packages.

Officials say a bomb that exploded early Tuesday at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio went out from an Austin-area FedEx store and was addressed to an Austin home.

___

12:15 p.m.

Investigators have closed off an Austin-area FedEx store from where officials say two package bombs were sent to a distribution center near San Antonio, including one that detonated.

Authorities have roped off a large area around the shopping center in the Austin enclave of Sunset Valley where the store is located. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says the parcel bomb that exploded early Tuesday in the distribution center in Schertz was mailed from Austin and addressed to an Austin home.

The police department in Sunset Valley, which is surrounded on all sides by Austin, says it appears that both package bombs that made it to the Schertz facility went out from the Sunset Valley store.

Authorities suspect the parcel bombs are linked to the four bombs that have killed two people and injured four others in Austin this month.

___

11:40 a.m.

President Donald Trump is blaming a "very sick individual or individuals" for a series of bombings in Austin, Texas.

Trump said during an Oval Office meeting Tuesday with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that the situation is "terrible."

He says, "This is obviously a very sick individual or individuals" and that authorities are "working to get to the bottom of it."

Trump’s comments came hours after an early-morning explosion at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio. Authorities say it was a bomb addressed to an Austin home that had been sent from Texas’ capital city. Investigators found a second bomb at the facility that hadn’t exploded.

Authorities believe the latest parcel bombs are linked to the four bombings this month in Austin that have killed two people and injured four others.

___

11:20 a.m.

Texas’ attorney general says the package that exploded at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio was sent from Austin and was addressed to a home in Austin.

Attorney General Ken Paxton also told television station KXAN that there was a second parcel bomb that didn’t explode was found at the FedEx facility in Schertz. San Antonio police Chief William McManus told a news conference there that the second package was one was "no longer" at the Shertz facility.

Authorities say one of the parcel bombs detonated at around 1 a.m. Tuesday while it was on a conveyer belt in the facility, which is about 60 miles (95 kilometers) southwest of Austin. One worker suffered minor injuries.

Paxton didn’t provide details on where the packages were addressed to.

Investigators believe the explosives are linked to the four bombings that have killed two people and injured four others in Austin this month.

___

10:30 a.m.

Authorities say the package that exploded at a FedEx ground facility near San Antonio was on a conveyer belt when it detonated.

Schertz police Chief Michael Hansen said at a news conference that one worker reported feeling ringing in her ears after the early Tuesday blast, but she was treated and released.

Hansen said that the intended target of the parcel bomb wasn’t the facility or anyone who lives in Schertz, which is about 60 miles (95 kilometers) southwest of Austin. But neither Hansen nor federal agents who spoke at the news conference would say where the package was sent to or from or give any other details about the investigation, saying it was still unfolding.

An FBI spokeswoman, agent Michelle Lee, said earlier Tuesday "it would be silly for us not to admit that we suspect it’s related" to the four Austin bombings that have killed two people and injured four others since March 2.

___

8:45 a.m.

Austin police have deployed a hazardous materials squad to a FedEx shipping facility near the city’s airport to investigate reports of a suspicious package.

It isn’t known yet if the suspicious package is linked to a bomb that detonated earlier Tuesday at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio or the four bombs that have gone off in Austin this month.

But the Austin Police Department says an investigation is underway.

The package that exploded earlier Tuesday at the FedEx facility in Schertz, about 60 miles southwest of Austin, slightly injured one worker. Authorities believe it is linked to what they say is a serial bomber responsible for the four Austin bombings since March 2.

___

8:35 a.m.

The White House says the federal government is doing "whatever is necessary" to apprehend whomever is responsible for a series of explosions in Austin, Texas.

Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells Fox News Channel that President Donald Trump is aware of the situation.

Sanders says federal authorities are working closely with local authorities and have offered their full support and cooperation "to make sure we’re doing whatever is necessary and whatever is possible" to stop the explosions and find whomever is responsible.

A package bomb that authorities believe is linked to the recent string of Austin bombings exploded early Tuesday inside of a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio. A worker suffered minor injuries.

Four other Austin bombings have killed two people and injured four others since March 2.

___

8:30 a.m.

A heavy law enforcement presence is surrounding the FedEx distribution center near San Antonio where a parcel bomb exploded, slightly injuring one worker.

The area around the facility in Schertz is heavily industrial and features warehouses and parking lots empty except for parked trailers.

A woman who identified herself as an FedEx employee emerged from the shipping facility wrapped in a blanket as the sun rose on Tuesday and said she’d been evacuated. She declined to give her name.

The FBI says a package exploded at the facility at around 1 a.m. on Tuesday.

Authorities believe it is linked to the four bombs that have detonated in the Texas capital of Austin this month. Those bombs killed two people and injured four others.

___

7:45 a.m.

The Austin Police Department says it is aware that a parcel bomb exploded overnight at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio and that it is working closely on the investigation with federal law enforcement agencies.

An FBI spokeswoman, Special Agent Michelle Lee, says it is still early in the investigation into the early Tuesday bombing at the FedEx facility in Schertz, which left one worker with minor injuries. But she says "it would be silly for us not to admit that we suspect it’s related" to the four Austin bombings that have killed two people and injured four others since March 2.

The latest bombing in Austin injured two men on Sunday. Authorities say it was triggered by a tripwire and was a more sophisticated bomb than those used in the first three attacks, which were package bombs left on people’s doorsteps.

The Austin police are again warning people to call 911 if they come across suspicious packages, bags or other items that look out of place.

___

7 a.m.

Federal investigators say a package that exploded at a FedEx facility near San Antonio is believed to be linked to the string of bombings that has terrified the Texas capital this month.

Special Agent Michelle Lee of the FBI in San Antonio says she has no confirmed reports of any injuries in the blast. But the police department in Schertz, where the FedEx facility is located, issued a statement saying one person was treated at the scene and released.

Lee says it is still early in the investigation, but "it would be silly for us not to admit that we suspect it’s related" to the four Austin bombings that have killed two people and injured four others since March 2. The latest bombing in Austin injured two men on Sunday.

Lee didn’t have details about the size, weight or description of the package.

___

5:30 a.m.

Federal agents tell The Washington Post that a package bomb exploded around 1 a.m. Tuesday inside a FedEx distribution center in Schertz, Texas.

Spokeswomen for the FBI and the ATF say both agencies are at the scene.

The explosion happened at the facility just northeast of San Antonio sometime around 1 a.m., said FBI Special Agent Michelle Lee. ATF spokeswoman Nicole Strong said that early indications are that no one was injured.

___

5 a.m.

A website that monitors fire and police activity in San Antonio, Texas, says a package bomb has exploded at a FedEx distribution center in Schertz, Texas, hurting 1 person, a FedEx employee who apparently suffered a non-life-threatening "percussion-type" injury from the blast.

The FBI and ATF are at the scene. Federal agents say this package is likely linked to attacks by what they believe is a serial bomber. The package exploded shortly after midnight on Tuesday.

The Associated Press reported erroneously earlier Tuesday that the San Antonio Fire Department said one person had suffered a non-life-threatening "percussion-type" injury from the blast. That information came from SanantonioFIRE, a local media website that reports on local police, fire and emergency service news, and could not immediately be independently confirmed.

___

1 a.m.

Police and federal agents said Sunday night’s blast triggered along a street by a nearly invisible tripwire suggests a "higher level of sophistication" than they have seen before in three early package bombs left on doorsteps, and means the carnage is now random, rather than targeted at someone in particular.

William Grote says the attack, by a suspected serial bomber that has terrorized Austin for weeks, left what appeared to be nails embedded in his grandson’s knees.

Two people are dead and four injured, and authorities don’t appear closer to making any arrests in the four bombings that have rocked the capital city.

Authorities haven’t identified the latest victims, but Grote told The Associated Press that his grandson was one of the two men wounded in southwest Austin’s quiet Travis Country neighborhood. They suffered what police said were significant injuries and remained hospitalized in stable condition.

The Latest: Runoff to replace Texas congressman Ted Poe

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Latest on primary day in Texas (all times CST):

11:45 p.m.

Texas state Rep. Kevin Roberts has advanced to the Republican primary runoff to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Ted Poe.

Roberts has served one term in the state Legislature. His opponent in the May runoff was not immediately clear as votes were still being counted.

Poe is stepping down after six terms in Congress. He’s one of eight Texas congressmen not seeking re-election this year.

___

11:40 p.m.

The seven-way Democratic primary in Dallas for the right to challenge longtime U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions is headed to a runoff.

Leading the pack is Colin Allred, a former linebacker for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans and a civil rights attorney. Allred’s opponent in the May runoff wasn’t immediately clear as votes were still being counted.

The winner will face Sessions in November. Sessions was first elected to Congress in 2002 and his district includes Dallas enclaves north of downtown, such as upscale Highland Park and Richardson.

Hillary Clinton got more votes than Donald Trump in Sessions’ district in 2016, even as no Democrat challenged Sessions. That sparked this cycle’s crowded field of Democrats who believe Sessions is vulnerable.

___

11:35 p.m.

Attorney Lizzie Pannill Fletcher has advanced to a May runoff for the Democratic nomination to face longtime U.S. Rep. John Culberson in a Houston-area district.

Fletcher moved on Tuesday night to the runoff. Her opponent was not immediately clear as votes were still being counted.

Culberson’s district is a key target for national Democrats trying to win back the U.S. House in November. In a sign of its importance, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee took the unusual step of slamming one of Fletcher’s opponents, Laura Moser. A DCCC spokeswoman accused Moser of previously expressing "outright disgust for life in Texas," in hopes of driving voters to others running in the primary.

Fletcher says she became the first female partner at her law firm.

___

11:25 p.m.

The race to replace a Texas congressman who’s not seeking re-election amid allegations of sexual harassment is headed to a primary runoff.

Republicans Bech Bruun and Michael Cloud advanced Tuesday from a five-candidate field in the South Texas congressional district that currently represented by U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold.

Farenthold announced in December he wouldn’t seek re-election amid pressure from fellow Republicans. He did so while denying 3-year-old accusations that he’d subjected a former aide to sexually suggestive comments.

Bruun is the former chairman of the Texas Water Development Board and was endorsed by his old boss, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Cloud is a past chairman of the Victoria County Republican Party.

___

11:15 p.m.

A lesbian Iraq war veteran vying to become the first Asian-American in Congress from Texas will need to win a primary runoff election if she’s going to challenge incumbent Republican Rep. Will Hurd.

Gina Ortiz Jones advanced Tuesday to a second round of voting May 22. It was not immediately clear who she would face.

Hurd’s territory sprawls from San Antonio to nearly El Paso, encompassing 800-plus miles of the U.S.-Mexico border and is one of Texas’ few swing districts.

When Hurd won re-election in 2016, his victory marked the first time the district hadn’t flipped between parties since 2010. He’s one of just two black Republicans in the House.

___

11:05 p.m.

Texas is poised to send its first Latina to Congress after State Sen. Sylvia Garcia has won the Democratic nomination to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Gene Green of Houston.

Garcia easily beat six little-known candidates on Tuesday, including health care executive Tahir Javed, who vowed to spend his own money lavishly to compete in the race. She immediately becomes the overwhelming favorite to win November’s general election.

The district includes swaths of north and east Houston and is nearly 80 percent Hispanic but has been represented since 1992 by Green, who speaks minimal Spanish. That’s a key reason why Houston has the country’s largest Hispanic population without a Latino representative in Congress.

In El Paso, former county judge Veronica Escobar also won the Democratic nomination to replace U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke.

___

11 p.m.

A former chief of staff to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has advanced to the runoff for the Republican nomination to replace U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith in a hotly contested San Antonio district.

Chip Roy moved on Tuesday to the May 22 runoff. It was not immediately clear who he’d face.

More than 15 Republicans entered the race to replace Smith, who announced in November he would retire from a seat he’s held since 1987. Smith is currently the chairman of the U.S. House Science, Space and Technology Committee and is a noted skeptic of climate change.

He is one of eight Texas congressmen not seeking re-election this year.

___

10:50 p.m.

A Republican strategist backed by Gov. Greg Abbott is headed to a primary runoff in her bid to replace outgoing Texas congressman Jeb Hensarling.

Bunni Pounds on Tuesday advanced to a May runoff against state Rep. Lance Gooden. Eight Republicans had jumped in the race after Hensarling announced last year that he was retiring after 16 years in Congress.

Hensarling was the powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. He’s one of eight Texas congressmen not seeking re-election this year.

Pounds is a GOP fundraiser who has never held public office. She and Kathaleen Wall, a Republican mega-donor in Houston, were the only congressional candidates that Abbott endorsed in the primary.

Gooden has served in the Texas Legislature since 2011.

___

10:40 p.m.

The packed Republican primary to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Joe Barton is headed to a runoff.

None of the 11 candidates won a majority Tuesday, prompting a second round of voting May 22.

The best known is Ronald Wright, an ex-Barton aide who was a county tax assessor-collector who added "In God We Trust" to tax bills and payment envelopes. Also advancing Tuesday was ex-Navy combat pilot Jake Ellzey.

Barton is leaving after almost 30 years in Congress following the appearance online of a nude photo of him. A Republican activist subsequently revealed suggestive Facebook messages that the then-married congressmen sent her in 2012.

The district includes suburban Dallas and east Fort Worth and is probably safely Republican, though five Democrats competed for their party’s nomination to face the GOP runoff winner.

___

10:30 p.m.

Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, known for his provocative social media posts about Democrats and Muslims, has survived a bitter Republican primary in his bid for re-election.

Miller on Tuesday topped veteran Austin lobbyist and conservative podcaster Trey Blocker, and Jim Hogan, who ran for agriculture commissioner as a Democrat in 2014.

Miller will be the favorite to win in November. He’s perhaps best-known for a social media presence that has frequently stirred controversy.

He once tweeted a derogatory term to refer to Hillary Clinton, shared a Facebook post advocating bombing the "Muslim world" and has retweeted misleading reports claiming to be factual news.

Miller also used taxpayer funds in 2015 to travel to Oklahoma for a "Jesus shot" meant to alleviate all pain. He later reimbursed the state.

___

10:20 p.m.

Democratic turnout in the Texas primary has hit its highest level in a midterm election since 2002, a reflection of the nationwide momentum for liberal candidates opposing President Donald Trump.

At least 700,000 people voted in the Democratic primary election for U.S. Senate won Tuesday by U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke. That surpasses the last three midterms. Just over 1 million people voted in the Democratic primary in 2002.

Texas Democrats haven’t won a statewide race since 2002, and O’Rourke and other Democrats running statewide remain heavy underdogs. Tuesday’s Democratic numbers are still well behind Republican turnout figures.

But O’Rourke has recently outraised U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, and there is at least one Democratic candidate in every congressional district — 36 of them — for the first time since 1992.

___

10 p.m.

Former county judge Veronica Escobar has won a crowded Democratic primary to succeed U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke in El Paso.

Escobar beat five other hopefuls Tuesday and immediately becomes the favorite in November’s general election.

O’Rourke is giving up his seat as he mounts a longshot campaign against incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.

Texas has never elected a Hispanic woman to Congress but that’s poised to change. In addition to Escobar, state Sen. Sylvia Garcia is the heavy favorite to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Rep. Gene Green in Houston.

Escobar was among the best-known and top-funded of the primary candidates — though she drew some criticism because her husband is federal immigration judge Michael Pleters, who was confirmed last August by the Trump administration.

___

9:50 p.m.

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush has won the Republican nomination to keep his post, topping a primary challenger from the right.

Bush, whose grandfather and uncle were president and whose father was Florida’s governor, beat his predecessor as land commissioner, Jerry Patterson, Tuesday. The 41-year-old Bush immediately becomes the overwhelming favorite for re-election in November.

Bush began the year with $3.4 million in campaign funds compared to Patterson’s roughly $100,000. He won despite campaigning lightly, spending much of his time visiting parts of Texas hit by Hurricane Harvey after his agency was tapped to lead the state’s housing recovery efforts.

Patterson criticized Bush for bungling the post-Harvey rebuild and a makeover of the Alamo in San Antonio. Bush was endorsed by President Donald Trump and his son, Donald Jr.

___

9:35 p.m.

The first Hispanic female sheriff in Texas is headed to a Democratic runoff against the son of a former governor in their longshot bid to unseat Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.

Former Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez and Houston investor Andrew White advanced Tuesday from a field of nine largely unknown Democratic primary candidates. The runoff election is May 22.

Texas Democrats haven’t won a statewide race since 1994. The party’s rising stars in Texas all passed on running for governor after Democrat Wendy Davis lost by 20 points in 2014.

White is the son of former Texas Gov. Mark White, who served one term in the 1980s and died last year. Andrew White is a self-described "conservative Democrat" who has alienated progressives over his personal opposition to abortion.

Valdez would be the first Hispanic and openly gay governor in Texas history.

9:10 p.m.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s newest ad targeting his Democratic challenger is a country jingle that warns, "If you’re going to run in Texas, you can’t be liberal, man."

Cruz tweeted the 60-second radio ad Tuesday night, shortly after he and U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke advanced to a closely watched November matchup.

The ad says O’Rourke "wants to take our guns" and calls him "liberal Robert," referring to his given first name, and says he "changed his name to Beto."

Cruz also uses a nickname for his given name, Rafael Edward Cruz.

O’Rourke is raising more money than Cruz so far but remains very unlikely to win in November. Texas has not elected a Democrat statewide since 1994.

___

9:05 p.m.

Texas state Sen. Van Taylor has won the Republican nomination to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson.

The 45-year-old Taylor has been a state lawmaker since 2010. The businessman is a former Marine and Iraq War veteran who was first elected to the state House and has been in the state Senate since 2015.

Taylor has been endorsed for Congress by Gov. Greg Abbott and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.

Johnson is one of eight Texas congressmen not seeking re-election this year. He had held the seat since 1991 in the solidly Republican Dallas-area district..

___

8:55 p.m.

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is striking a cautious tone despite sailing to victory against little-known challengers in Texas’ first-in-the-nation primary.

Abbott easily clinched his party’s nomination Tuesday and has a campaign war chest worth around $43 million, more than any gubernatorial candidate nationwide.

It’s not yet clear who Texas’ Democratic nominee will be, but Abbott is nonetheless heavily favored in November.

Still, Democrats more than doubled their early voter participation in the primary when compared to the Texas’ last midterm election in 2014. They are optimistic despite not winning a Texas statewide office since 1994.

In a statement, Abbott declared "We cannot afford to take Texas for granted," adding "This is a fight for our future and it begins now."

___

8:15 p.m.

Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has clinched his party’s nomination for re-election despite being indicted on felony securities fraud charges.

Paxton was unopposed in Tuesday’s first-in-the-nation Texas primary. He is the overwhelming favorite in November since a Democrat hasn’t won statewide office in Texas since 1994, the country’s longest political losing streak.

Paxton is facing a much-delayed trial for allegedly defrauding wealthy investors in a technology startup. The accusations cover actions before Paxton took office in 2015.

Despite that negative attention, Paxton wasn’t challenged in the Republican primary — even as other top members of his party were.

__

8 p.m.

A closely watched matchup is set between U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and his Democratic challenger, U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke.

Cruz and O’Rourke clinched their parties’ nominations Tuesday. O’Rourke is raising more money than Cruz so far but remains very unlikely to win in November.

Gov. Greg Abbott also clinched the Republican nomination for governor and enters the general election as a heavy favorite against whoever emerges from the Democratic primary.

Polling places in El Paso and far West Texas closed at 8 p.m. CST, an hour later than the rest of the state.

No Democrat has won a statewide race in Texas since 1994.

___

7 p.m.

The polls have closed in almost all of Texas for the nation’s first primaries of 2018.

Only polling places in El Paso and far West Texas will remain open for another hour, until 8 p.m. CST. People in line at the 7 p.m. CST closing time will still be able to vote.

Democrats hope to break a losing streak in statewide races that dates back to 1994. Many Republicans say they want to show their steadfast support for President Donald Trump.

Long lines were reported in Texas’ major cities and at the University of Texas in Austin, where hundreds of students waited to vote at a campus library.

Civil rights groups said they received reports of problems at eight polling places in Harris County, which encompasses Houston and some of its suburbs.

___

5:45 p.m.

A line stretching three quarters of the way around a campus library is waiting to cast last-minute ballots at the University of Texas.

Hundreds of students with books and backpacks, some eating and others with laptops open, waited Tuesday evening to cast their ballots in the nation’s first primary election in 2018. Polls in most of Texas will close at 7 p.m., though polling places are required to accommodate anyone in line at that time.

Democrats saw participation in their primary surge in early voting, but turnout for the election as a whole remains to be seen.

Democrats are optimistic that backlash against President Donald Trump will lift their candidates, though the party hasn’t won statewide office in Texas since 1994.

___

4 p.m.

The Texas secretary of state says the Democratic and Republican parties pay for polling locations during the state’s primary elections, meaning that ballots for both don’t necessarily have to be offered at all locations.

There were reports during Texas’ first-in-the-nation primary Tuesday that two polling sites in Houston didn’t have Democratic ballots.

Secretary of State spokesman Sam Taylor says parties sometimes opt to consolidate precincts or otherwise forgo having joint polling stations with their counterparts. That can mean that voters wanting to cast ballots for the other party in certain areas have to head to another location.

Texas has a semi-open primary, meaning voters can choose whether to vote Democratic or Republican. The problem doesn’t apply to the general election since no party choice is made.

___

1:15 p.m.

A congressman who has launched a longshot bid to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is generating excitement for Democrats voting in the Texas primary election.

Voting Tuesday morning in Dallas, 64-year-old Bonnie Kobilansky said she thinks Beto O’Rourke is "a good guy" and was excited to cast her vote for him.

She says she wants to see change in the government, adding "that starts at the local level, the state level."

Twenty-seven-year-old Katie Newsome, a United Methodist pastor, says she’s excited for the "freshness" and "vision" O’Rourke brings. She says she wants to see change both in the U.S. and in Texas, too.

She says she’d love to see Texas "turn blue." She says, "I don’t know if that will happen but that would be exciting."

O’Rourke has generated national buzz in his challenge to Cruz. Neither faces serious primary challengers but O’Rourke recently has outraised Cruz and the senator has warned conservatives against complacency.

___

12:30 p.m.

Some Republicans voting in the Texas Republican primary say they’re concerned about proposals calling for restrictions on firearms sales.

Jynelle Mikula, who voted in the GOP primary Tuesday at a Houston elementary school, says assault-style weapons and bump stocks shouldn’t be sold to the public. But she’s concerned the debate in the aftermath of the deadly shooting at a Florida high school could lead to the confiscation of weapons from law-abiding citizens such as herself.

Robert Coghlan, voting at the same school Tuesday, says the ongoing gun debate nationally also has him concerned. He says "we’re kind of on the road to ban all guns."

Another Republican voter, Rosa Magaña, says the answer to gun violence should be educational outreach and not weapons bans.

___

11:45 a.m.

Some Houston-area voters say they’ve encountered problems at the polls that include one site opening more than an hour late, prompting some people to leave.

Teneshia Hudspeth with the elections division of the Harris County clerk’s office said Tuesday that a last-minute change in staffing led to a delay in opening a Katy polling site.

She says local Democratic officials made a late change to the party’s election judge who monitors that site.

Hudspeth says she wasn’t aware of claims that two sites didn’t have ballots for Democratic voters. She says some polling sites may only be for one party to vote, so a voter enrolled in an opposing party may appear expecting to vote only to be told they must go elsewhere.

___

11:15 a.m.

President Donald Trump isn’t on the ballot in the Texas primary, but he’s on the minds of voters.

One woman voting in Dallas says she’s a "strong" Republican who supports Trump’s agenda. Sixty-year-old Laura Smith said Tuesday that she backs Trump because he has "guts," isn’t afraid and is a strong leader.

Smith, who works in a dentist’s office, approves of the president’s handling of immigration, job creation and tough approach to North Korea. She adds that she’s open to new restrictions on people seeking to purchase firearms.

But Democrat Bonnie Kobilansky says she’s alarmed by Trump’s actions.

Kobilansky, a nurse practitioner, wants "to see a complete change in the top of the government."

She adds that she’s heartened by the number of women running for office, explaining that political leaders need "common sense and practical knowledge — women have that."

___

8 a.m.

Early turnout has been light at some polling stations in Texas, which is holding the country’s first midterm primary.

Texas’ primary on Tuesday follows a relatively busy early-voting period.

Democratic early voting across Texas’ 15 most-populous counties, the only figures available, more than doubled that of the last non-presidential cycle in 2014. Meanwhile, the number of Republican early ballots cast increased only slightly.

Total Democratic early votes exceeded Republican ones roughly 465,000 to 420,000, though those figures combined accounted for less than 9 percent of the state’s total registered voters.

Polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday, except for some far West Texas locations, such as El Paso, where they close at 8 p.m. Central Standard Time.

___

11:10 p.m.

Texas Democrats have turned out in force ahead of their state’s first-in-the-nation primary election Tuesday, even though their party remains a longshot to win much.

Democratic early voting across Texas’ most-populous counties was more than double that of the last non-presidential cycle in 2014.

But Democrats haven’t won a statewide office in Texas since 1994, and that losing streak should continue this year.

A record six Texas Republicans and two Democrats are leaving Congress. Many of the open seats feature so many candidates from both parties that most primary races won’t have anyone winning a majority of Tuesday’s votes, ensuring a second round of voting May 22.

Democrats also hope to flip three other Republican congressional districts, but those races may need runoffs to decide who the party’s nominee will be.

Developers Propose New Design of Apartments Next to Hays Street Bridge

Developers presented this rendering to Eastside community members Monday night. The re-designed project includes an underground parking lot for tenants and a "pocket park" for public use.

The boxy design previously proposed for a controversial four-story, 148-unit mixed-use apartment building next to the historic Hays Street Bridge has been replaced with a preliminary plan that features more stylized walls for a five-story complex, according to developers who presented renderings of the project during a public meeting Monday night.

About a dozen attendees wanted to give input on the new design by local firm GRG Architecture, which has worked to find an adequate compromise for the long-vacant industrial lot adjacent to single-family homes and the Dignowity Hill Historic District. Buta vast majority of the 50 people at the meeting were not impressed. Instead, they’d like to see it become a public park.

“We love that bridge,” said Graciela Sanchez, executive director of the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center. “We believe in government that respects community. … We want the bridge to be for everyone.”

A cyclist rides east on Hays Street Bridge along the proposed development site towards Dignowity Hill.

Debate about the empty lot at 803 N. Cherry St. has focused on three key sticking points: the rights of property owners, the impact that building will have on neighborhood views of the historic bridge, gentrification, and a 2012 lawsuit that bridge preservationists won against the City of San Antonio in 2014, but is under appeal before the Texas Supreme Court.

“As beautiful and moving as your words were,” GRG Principal Xavier Gonzalez said after hearing protests of the project at Monday’s meeting, “we’re going to see a building here.”

The lawsuit and other factors such as views of the bridge are not issues under the purview of the Historic and Design Review Commission, said local land use attorney James McKnight, who is representing local development and management firm Loopy Ltd.

The commission rejected the original design in early December, asking that the design incorporate more elements from the City’s downtown design guide. Designers moved the building back away from the street to add more landscaping and public street parking, created a “C” shape structure instead of a “donut” with an interior courtyard, and added an underground parking garage for tenants.

“This is preliminary, we’re still working,” Gonzalez said.

Dignowity Hill resident Liz Franklin brings up concerns during the meeting.

Liz Franklin, a longtime Dignowity Hill resident, said she’s not necessarily against the design, but the history of the lot needs to be addressed.

“We have not been able to talk about the design because some of us can’t get past the injustice,” Franklin, referring to the lawsuit.

Eugene Simor, who owns the adjacent Alamo Beer Company, and Mitch Meyer of Loopy Ltd., are partnering on the property development but did not attend the meeting Monday.

“This is a very difficult conversation that should have been had many, many years ago,” Councilman Cruz Shaw (D2) told the crowd. Shaw, who represents the Eastside on City Council, said his office will work to schedule more community meetings. “This will not be the last time.”

Councilman Cruz Shaw (D2) addresses community members.

Architect Xavier Gonzalez describes a rendering of the proposed mixed-use development at 803 N. Cherry Street.

The original design of the project would have blocked views of the bridge from area streets, opponents pointed out. That conversation sparked Councilman Cruz Shaw (D2), who represents the Eastside, and Councilwoman Ana Sandoval (D7) to request an investigation into whether the City should protect views of certain iconic buildings and areas. Those include Woodlawn Lake Park, Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, Hays Street Bridge, other landmark bridges, Comanche Lookout Park, and the Japanese Tea Garden.

This version of “The Bridge” apartments was scrapped by developers.

“This is better than the last design but the whole point is we do not want to ruin the viewshed of that bridge,” said Dignowity Hill resident Devin Verdon.

The new design also blocks views of the bridge, but allows for a “pocket park” between the bridge and the building and breaks up the external walls with terraces, setbacks, and overhangs. Plans for a restaurant between the structures have been scrapped, Gonzalez said. Instead, it will be incorporated into the ground floor of the main building.

The Hays Street Bridge Restoration Group alleges in its lawsuit that the City’s sale of the property for $295,000 to Eugene Simor was illegal. The group led efforts to restore the 1910 bridge and protect it from encroaching development. A 2002 memorandum of understanding from the previous private owner suggests that the property be used as a public park, the group’s lawsuit and appeal claims.

Simor, owner of Alamo Beer Company, wanted to build a brewery on the land. The previous owner has since said that they are not opposed to the development. Although The district court ruled in favor of the group, the Texas 4th Court of Appeals sided with the City. The restoration group, backed by the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, has appealed the case to the Texas Supreme Court, which has not yet announced whether it will hear the case.

Because of the lawsuit, Simor built the Alamo brewery on the other side of the bridge. Simor sold the lot to Meyer in 2016, but is still an investor in the proposed mixed-use project.

Alamo Beer received an $800,000 incentive package from the City for the $8 million facility, one of the largest private investments in the historically neglected near-Eastside in years.

The redesigned project, called “The Bridge” in the developer’s presentations, has been submitted to HDRC and will be considered at a future meeting. That date will be decided this Wednesday, McKnight said.

How To Find An Affordable Apartment In San Antonio

San Antonio is a great place to live and housing is affordable when you move there. If you are looking for affordable housing, you want to consider moving into an apartment. Apartments are more affordable and they also provide you with freedom and you can easily move to a new apartment if you get tired of the apartment you are living in.

Apartment living has many benefits and it feels great being able to move anywhere you want without being locked into buying a home. You can easily sell your house if you want to move somewhere new and you are only locked into the home for a year so it is easy to move if you want to move. You won’t have to worry about making repairs if you move to an apartment either and it is a great feeling not having to take care of the yard or mow the grass.

You have more freedom when you live in an apartment and you don’t have to deal with all the hassles that go along with living in a house. You can move when you want and you don’t have to deal with getting a real estate agent or showing the house when you live in an apartment and want to move. You can find plenty of great deals in San Antonio and there are lots of apartments that are going to work for your needs.

All you have to do is decide how much you want to spend and you can find an apartment that is going to leave you with plenty of spending money to use on other things that are important to you. Apartment living makes more sense when you aren’t sure you want to live in a place long term.
