Welcome back, friends
Sen. Brandon Creighton is poised to become the next chancellor of the Texas Tech University System. At the same time, Texas has enacted a new law banning the sale of THC and hemp-derived vapes. Meanwhile, election officials in Collin, Williamson, and Bastrop counties are preparing to switch from touchscreen ballot-marking machines to hand-marked paper ballots this November, a shift they say will build voter confidence.

I am honored the @TTUSystem Regents have expressed confidence in me and I’m excited about the future of the Texas Tech University System. Texas Tech is the tip of the spear for the future of higher education—leading in academics, athletics, and innovation. The world will continue

TEXAS VAPE BAN LAW CONFUSION 💨 Many new Texas laws took effect September 1, including a law that makes it illegal to sell certain vapes. A provision within that legislation, however, is already causing confusion. bit.ly/3HQUM8Q
