Rep. Carl Albrecht admits he got a little misty-eyed during a legislative hearing this year when a discussion about hunting reminded him of the time his daughter-in-law shot a record-breaking bull elk.

Texas has been home to several high-profile mass shootings over the past decade.

Updated at 2:30 p.m. with Biden campaign bus tour. WASHINGTON — Media mogul Mike Bloomberg is planning an 11th-hour ad blitz in Texas in hopes of helping to defeat President Donald Trump, which probably means he’ll spend more to help Joe Biden win Texas than the Democrat’s own campaign, an aide said Tuesday.
