Good morning, Midland.

Midland’s The Half Acre BBQ, the BBQ extension of Midland Meat Company, was named one of Texas Monthly’s top 50 BBQ restaurants after starting from food truck origins.

The team and loyal guests helped it reach this milestone + the restaurant will build on its success in the coming months.

Midland officials are offering up to $1,000 for tips to identify male suspects who burglarized vehicles at Midland Country Club and Racquet Club on April 13 and later withdrew about $59,500 from a victim’s bank account in Lubbock while driving a gray Chrysler Pacifica Minivan.

The Midland ISD board approved out-of-state travel for several student groups on May 27th — including the Legacy High School Rebel Speech and Debate Team, Texas Association of Future Educators, Legacy High School FFA BBQ Team, Abell Junior High FLL Robotics Team, Midland High School Orchestra and Young Women’s Leadership Academy Speech and Debate Team.

Local citizens in Ector County drove an initiative to boost emergency response outside city limits—county officials say they will move forward with enhanced services soon.
