Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into several trucking schools across Texas, accusing them of putting public safety at risk by providing inadequate commercial driver training, including to students who may not meet federal English proficiency requirements.

A truck driver has been cited for operating without a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) after striking the Houston Avenue bridge overnight, causing a traffic backup on the Katy Freeway (I-10).

The Texas DPS - Southeast Texas region confirmed on a social media post the victim killed was Bobby Huff, 78. He was one of six hospitalized, they said, but the only one who succumbed to his injuries.

Clenard Parker was identified as the alleged driver of a stolen 18-wheeler that crashed into the Brenham Department of Public Safety office.

Wednesday is the first day of school for students at Channelview ISD. The transportation department is making sure all buses have working air conditioning units. Drivers spent the day driving their routes and getting ready and will be out on Wednesday greeting students on their first day of school.

The Houston Independent School District announced Wednesday that the district will offer sign-on bonuses for new bus drivers.
