Good morning, Midland.

Permian High students won the Dallas Cowboys Community Captain Competition and used a $10,000 Chevron grant to help survivors of domestic violence at the Crisis Center of West Texas (they put together 250 care packages in one day).

They worked closely with the center to fill each bag with items needed at the hospital.

A man in his 60s, identified as Raymond Rodriguez, was hit and killed while crossing Garden City Highway on Wednesday night when a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe traveling westbound could not avoid him in a poorly lit area, and police said next-of-kin were notified with the investigation ongoing.

The City Council approved personnel changes in the City Attorney's Office on March 27th — the new staff roles will be implemented soon.

Texas Senator César J.

Blanco filed several bills to support the Permian Basin, aiming to address infrastructure and safety needs in counties including Pecos and Reeves. The proposals focus on reinvesting oil and gas severance taxes, combating oilfield theft and repairing water wells to protect key community resources.

Brittany and Brandon Smith launched the All Heart Gunner Foundation to help families with kids diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer after losing their son Gunner and it has given $3300 grants to 37 families in 9 states and 2 countries over the past 4 years.
