It’s Tuesday, April 21st. 

And it’s San Jacinto Day where on this date in 1836, General Sam Houston and his men defeated the much larger Mexican Army in the battle of San Jacinto. The fight lasted only 18 minutes, and was the final and decisive battle for Texas Independence.

A some birthdays in Boerne to celebrate - Happy Birthday to Heather Bateman at Before Your Eyes Interiors, Pastor Wayne Urbanowski of Leon Springs Presbyterian Church, Katie Rakowitz of Time Out Sitters, and Mr. Alex Yount of Equity Commercial Real Estate Solutions… 

I’m Baron Wiley. 

Alright - Rain Gauge Report - What’s in your yours?

Sisterdale got 2 inches, along with the one at Infiniti of Boerne on I-10, 

Cave without A Name saw 3 and a quarter inches, and Fair Oaks Ranch measured 3.82…

New Braunfels got almost 6 inches…and the big winner yesterday was Cibolo with almost 7.

But the biggest site in town is seeing Cibolo Creek water go over the dam on River Road. 

Road Barriers may still be up in the usual places so please respect the signage and thanks to our great city workers for getting it done.  

Texas lawmakers are beginning a deep investigation into the deadly July 2025 floods in the Hill Country, as community members call for broader accountability. Yesterday during a visit to Camp Mystic, where 28 lives were lost, residents held signs honoring all 119 killed across Kerr County. Some criticized the focus on the camp alone, urging a wider review of the disaster. Lawmakers say the goal is to examine response efforts and improve future flood preparedness.  The Texas Legislature does not meet again to make new laws until Jan. 2027.
