DA Candidate Sues Over Primary Vote. In March, Elizabeth Frizell lost to John Creuzot by 589 votes in the Democratic primary. She decided not to ask for a recount. But yesterday she filed a lawsuit against Creuzot, DA Faith Johnson, the elections administrator, and the Dallas County Democratic Party chair. Frizell alleges that voter fraud cost her the race. Frizell might be a sore loser. Or she might be right.

UTA Fires Basketball Coach. Last year, the Mavericks had their best season ever, racking up 27 wins, the most in a single season. They won the Sun Belt’s regular-season title.

Watch Out for Weather. Storms are moving through North Texas today. Your commute home this evening likely won’t be fun.
