Ken Paxton Will Get a New Judge. Judge George Gallagher kicked the Texas Attorney’s securities fraud case out of Collin County in March, citing a tainted jury pool. Now, the 5th court of appeals has kicked Gallagher out of the case, siding with Paxton’s lawyers who argued that the Collin County judge didn’t have the authority to follow the case its Harris County destination.

Bounty Hunters’ Capture Goes Bad. A shootout broke out when two bounty hunters tried to capture their target at a Nissan dealership in Greenville.

Gunshop Next To Euless Police Department Burglarized. Euless Guns & Ammo is a stone’s throw from the police station. Maybe less. You might even be able to crumple up a sheet of paper and hit the PD. Which is interesting because police are now investigating an incident in which thieves smashed the front window of the ammo shop and made off with 39 guns in less than two minutes.

If you used a card at a Chipotle between March 14 and April 18, you need to read this, which will then direct you to helpful information provided by the barbacoa innovator (really just thought I’d try giving the chain some good press for a change).
