Today is the first day of Texas' 89th Legislative session; lawmakers will vote to fill the role of Speaker of the Texas House, with Lubbock’s Dustin Burrows and David Cook from Mansfield seemingly leading the race for that seat. Our reporter Bishop Van Buren has more on the upcoming Point-In-Time homelessness count later this month. The South Plains Homeless Consortium and the Texas Homeless Network are holding a training session for those interested in volunteering from noon to 1 P.M. at Monterey Church of Christ’s Fireside Room.
