December 30, 2016 Show Texas legislators want no taxes on feminine hygiene products Not many people want to talk about it, especially men, but every month women go through their menstrual cycle. During that time, women spend countless dollars on feminine hygiene products.

October 27, 2016 By 2050, Houston to be 60 percent Hispanic, 15 percent white, 15 black, 10 percent Asian From a mostly white southern city devastated by the 1980s oil bust, Houston has transformed into a thriving international metropolis that in 2050 is projected to look more like El Paso, a predominantly Hispanic city on the Mexican border. An El Paso, that is, with Texas-sized shares of white, black and Asian residents. It's the face of America's future - a stunning turnaround for a one-horse oil town built on a swamp by two New York City real estate promoters.

March 24, 2016 Fall in oil prices does little to slow Houston's population growth The Houston area added more people last year than any metropolitan region in the country, continuing its exceptional growth of the last decade and a half, according to new U.S. Census Bureau data released Thursday.
