Constables, Harris County DA Ogg, and MADD news conference to urge community to avoid alcohol-related tragedy over holidays
Harris County constables, the District Attorney’s Office and MADD are joining forces with a husband and father whose family died in a drunken-driving crash to urge residents to celebrate responsibly this holiday season, District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Monday.
On Tuesday, against the backdrop of the crushed vehicle in which Damien House’s wife and young sons lost their lives when a drunk driver smashed into their car on FM 2920 in Spring, Pct. 1 Constable Alan Rosen and Pct. 4 Constable Mark Hermann, along with DA Ogg and MADD Victim Services Director Julio Zaghi, will highlight the tragic impact and legal consequences of DWI. The DA’s Office also will present a check to MADD to fund victims services for up to $108,349.
The news conference will be at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at 23828 Tomball Parkway, at the storage lot where the victims’ vehicle is kept in evidence. All eight county constables and Sheriff Ed Gonzalez have been invited to attend.
“One selfish act by Daniel Canada, who was drinking and driving drunk, devastated the House family,” Ogg said. “We’re partnering with MADD to prevent drunken driving and provide support to victims of alcohol-related crashes. Especially during the holidays, we want to remind and warn the public to have a plan to get home safely.”
In 2021, the DA’s Office has accepted 15,000 DWI charges, 51 intoxication manslaughter charges and 68 intoxication assault charges.
At the news conference, Damien House will tell his story of losing his wife, Porsha Branch, and sons Drake House, 7 months; Messiah House, 2; and King House, 5. Canada is charged with four counts of intoxication manslaughter in their deaths. According to Pct. 4 investigators, Canada was driving on FM 2920 near Gosling in Spring in March of this year when he slammed into the back of Branch’s car with such force that it was pushed into a car in front of it and burst into flames. Branch and Drake died in the crash. Messiah and King later died at a hospital. Canada’s blood-alcohol level was .15, the investigators said.
“We are seeking maximum accountability in all four intoxication manslaughter cases,” Ogg said. The defendant faces five years to life in prison on each count, and the judge can sentence them consecutively, said Vehicular Crimes Division Chief Sean Teare. Canada is currently in jail with bond set at $1.1 million.

4 injured after explosion and fire reported at an ExxonMobil refinery in Baytown, Texas
A “major industrial accident” injured at least four people early Thursday at one of the United States’ largest oil refineries, sheriff’s officials in the Houston area said.
Initial reports indicated an explosion happened at the ExxonMobil oil refinery in Baytown, Texas, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet, and residents in the area reported a loud explosion.
A fire happened at the refinery around 2 a.m. ET, according to ExxonMobil, did not immediately confirm an explosion or say what led to the fire.
Four people were injured, the sheriff’s office said, three of whom were taken for treatment by helicopter and one by ambulance.
The fire happened in a unit that produces gasoline, and the plant’s emergency workers still were working before sunrise to extinguish the fire, ExxonMobil refinery manager Rohan Davis told reporters early Thursday.
The conditions of the four injured people were stable, said Davis, who said he could not comment on the extent of their injuries.

The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately known and will be investigated, Davis said.
The company is coordinating with authorities and is monitoring air quality with regulators, Davis said.
“All of those results so far have shown no impact to the community from an air quality perspective,” Davis said.
Blast effects could impact spring gas prices
The Baytown refinery, which began operations in 1920, has an average daily capacity to refine 561,000 barrels of oil, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
That makes it the fourth-largest US refinery, only 8% smaller than the largest, the Motiva Enterprises facility in Port Arthur, Texas, owned by Saudi Aramco. Baytown is one of only five US refineries with a capacity of more than 500,000 barrels a day.
The refinery incident Thursday could hamper output for months, weighing on gasoline supply at a time when US refining capacity has already been reduced, said Tom Kloza, a chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service.
The incident shouldn’t immediately send gas prices higher. That’s mostly because the next six weeks — from right before Christmas to early February — is historically the period of lowest demand for gasoline nationwide. Wholesale gas prices were up only 2 cents a gallon to $2.19 in early trading Thursday.
“Fortunately we don’t need the gasoline (from Baytown) for the next six weeks,” Kloza said. But by spring, when demand starts to increase again, the lost output from Baytown will likely be felt at pumps nationwide.
ExxonMobil operates the refinery and several other facilities, including a chemical plant and a technology center, on about 3,400 acres in and around Baytown. It employs about 7,000 people in the Baytown area, the company says.
The refinery in Baytown is roughly a 25-mile drive east of downtown Houston.

Texans Announce Unfortunate News On WR Brandin Cooks
The Houston Texans are the latest team to have Week 16 derailed by cases of COVID-19. On Wednesday, the organization revealed that one of its top offensive players tested positive for the virus.
According to an announcement from the Texans, wide receiver Brandin Cooks was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday afternoon. The designation will make it much more difficult for the veteran pass-catcher to get on the field for Houston’s game this week against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Under the league’s health and safety protocols, Cooks will have a chance to return this weekend, but he’ll need to make a quick turnaround to be ready to play by Sunday.
Cooks has been the sole bright spot for a Texans offense that’s struggled to have much if any, success this season. Playing in all 14 games so far this year, the 28-year-old veteran has caught 80 passes for 945 yards and five touchdowns.
He leads Houston in all three major receiving categories and by quite a large margin in receptions and yards.
Cooks wasn’t the only player in Houston to land on the list in the middle of Week 16. Kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn and linebacker Eric Wilson also received the designation.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Texans coach David Culley said last week that Wilson is the team’s only unvaccinated player. That means he’s guaranteed to be out on Sunday, while Cooks and Fairbairn still have a chance to play.
The Texans will hope to get an answer soon before they welcome in the Chargers to Houston on Sunday for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Celtics sign 40-year-old Joe Johnson to 10-day contract
Joe Johnson knew there was always a chance he could get back into the NBA, especially with the recent increase of COVID-19 cases.
It happened Wednesday when the Boston Celtics signed the 40-year-old Johnson to a 10-day contract before their 111-101 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The crowd chanted “We Want Joe! “We Want Joe!” and broke into a loud cheer when he got off the bench and came into the game. He got a huge ovation when he hit a fallaway jumper in the final minute.
“It is kind of surreal,” Johnson said. “To come into the game and be somewhat effective, that’s fun. At my age, you try to relish every moment, enjoy the process and live in the moment. That’s kind of what I’m doing right now, living in the moment and it’s fun.”
Johnson knows people will first talk about his age when they see he’s back in the league for the first time since 2018.
“I don’t look at my age and say, `I can’t play with these guys,'” Johnson said before the game. “I know it’s a young man’s game, but at the same time, as I said, I pay a lot of attention to my body.”
Johnson started his NBA career with Boston when he was drafted 10th overall in 2001. The seven-time All-Star played 1,276 regular-season games through the 2017-18 season, averaging 16.0 points with the Celtics, Phoenix, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Miami, Utah, and Houston.
To stay in shape, Johnson said he’s been working out in the gym with his 14-year-old son.
“I wouldn’t say ‘give up,’ but I didn’t have high hopes,” Johnson said his thoughts about getting another chance.
Now, he’s got an example for his son.
“I always talk to him about work, you can’t see what’s next,” he said.
Johnson was signed because Boston has seven players in the NBA’s COVID protocols.
“I think it is a different situation,” Boston coach Ime Udoka said about his added veteran presence “It’s a guy that all looked up to at some point. Jayson (Tatum) specifically started smiling and said: ‘That was one of my favorite players growing up.”’
Johnson found out from his agent when he was out celebrating his daughter’s eighth birthday.
“When my agent called me yesterday and said this was on the table, it was a no-brainer for me,” he said. “I’m a guy that takes care of my body and I’m in pretty good shape. I felt like I was ready to take on that challenge.”
