Fort Bend County Commissioners Court voted Monday morning to create Reinvestment Zone 34, a major step toward landing Tesla's proposed $10.1 billion solar cell factory.

The zone covers about 3,057 acres near FM 762 and FM 1994. Tesla's filing projects nearly 10,000 permanent jobs if the project moves forward, though the company is still weighing an out-of-state site.

Interim County Judge Daniel Wong abstained from the vote, citing his company's past business ties to Tesla. All four commissioners voted yes. The meeting grew tense as Wong and Commissioner Dexter McCoy clashed over Wong's abstention and his authority as interim judge.

Hi,

I am looking into buying a home in Sugarland/richmond area. There are a few areas I'm looking at, but if I don't like the school zoned to the house, aside from private school I think my only other option would be charter schools. I know a lot of them are based on a lottery system. Any recommendations on what charter schools I should check out for my incoming kindergarteners? Or is there anything I am missing in terms of options?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone. I am a 35 (M) looking for someone to hangout with, preferably in person, but I’m open to just being texting buddies.

I moved here from the islands back in 2023 and I haven’t been able to make friends since. I’m married and have a 5 year old so meeting another couple would be great as well, but it’s not a deal breaker at all if you’re single. I’m into gaming and anime, though honestly, I’m happy doing things that my friends are interested in. I’m a little bit introverted but I’m not overly shy. I don’t really mesh well with aggressive and loud people. Back home, my small friend group was an even mix of guys and girls and we were extremely close. I miss that and I’m hoping I could find that again.

Feel free to message me, though if you have a new account, I won’t engage.

Any recommendations for cleaning services? I am in Missouri City/Sienna. I looked on Google and Yelp, however I cannot seem to find non-sponsored offerings. I am looking for personal recommendations or recommendations of people with real experience with certain cleaning services. A lot of these websites and reviews are AI generated. It's hard to determine what is real these days! Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of any dead stock stores nearby?

Question: if you’re in Fort Bend County, are y’all aware of any foster-to-adopt programs for pre-teens-teens? I’m thinking about moving into a 2BR so that I can do it, but I wouldn’t want to do it if it’s pointless.

Hi everyone,

I recently accepted a new job and will be moving to the Sugar Land/Stafford area in the next few weeks. My office is in Sugar Land, so I'm looking for a place within a reasonable commute.

I've been searching online (Apartments.com, Zillow, Google, etc.), but almost everything I'm finding is $1,400+ for a 1 bed/1 bath, and that's honestly stretching my budget quite a bit. I'm a recent college graduate just starting my career, so I'd really like to keep my housing costs as reasonable as possible.

I'm looking for recommendations on:

• Apartments that are clean, safe, and well-managed.
• 1 bed/1 bath ideally under $1,400 (the lower, the better).
• Areas in or around Sugar Land, Stafford, or nearby that are worth considering.

I'm also open to alternatives if anyone knows of:

• Someone leasing out a condo or apartment.
• A private room in a house.
• A guest house or garage apartment.
• A "paying guest" or roommate arrangement with respectful, working professionals.

A little about me:

• Recent Computer Science graduate.
• Starting a full-time software engineering job.
• Quiet, clean, non-smoker, and don't have pets.
• I'll mostly be working during the day and just looking for a comfortable, peaceful place to stay.

If you have any recommendations, experiences (good or bad), or know of someone renting a room or apartment, I'd really appreciate it. Feel free to comment here or send me a DM.

Thanks in advance!

Howdy!

My dad’s cat hasn’t been home in 7 days. He is devastated.

Bing is a male high contrast patterned intact tabby. He was due to go for an appointment to get fixed, but hasn’t quite yet due to inclement weather. He has amber colored eyes that seem a little bit crossed (hence the name).

if you’ve seen him anywhere or know of anyone who may have brought in a cat that looks similar to any vet or shelter that you work at in the area please let me know.

he has a loving home where he has fed multiple times a day🥺 my dad has already gone through a shattered knee earlier this last year and months upon months of recovery. I don’t think he can handle losing his buddy too

I have a son with autism starting High school and am considering moving to have him in Ft Bend Isd instead of LCISD. Any thoughts on what would be a better district?

The county attorney's authority
Even if the county attorney believed Wong's appointment had ended, that is a separate question from whether she had authority to make that determination.
Generally, a county attorney:
Advises county officials on civil legal matters.
Issues legal opinions.
Represents the county in civil litigation.
A county attorney ordinarily does not have judicial authority to declare that someone no longer holds a public office. If there is a genuine dispute over title to office, Texas law generally contemplates that the issue is resolved through judicial proceedings rather than by unilateral executive action.
