Texas Supreme Court Rejects Attorney General’s Attempt to Undo Victory Scored by Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee in Mask Mandate Case
Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee earned another victory for Harris County in its lawsuit challenging Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s prohibition on mask mandates. Thursday evening, the Texas Supreme Court denied Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempt to undo a trial court order Menefee previously secured in the case, which ruled the State cannot enforce Governor Abbott’s ban on mask mandates issued by Harris County and several school districts.
Menefee stated:
“This is an important decision. It means Harris County’s orders mandating masks for employees and students stand for now. Our lawsuit against the Governor will continue, and we’ll keep giving all we’ve got to ensure local officials and school districts can protect our students and immunocompromised. I’m hopeful today’s decision also means the Texas Supreme Court is taking a hard look at whether Governor Abbott is misusing the Disaster Act and needs to be reined in.”
About the Harris County Attorney’s Office
Christian D. Menefee was elected as County Attorney for Harris County in November 2020. The office represents the largest county in Texas in all civil legal matters, including lawsuits.

Governor Abbott Announces Odessa Designated As Music Friendly Community
“With support from the Texas Music Office, in 2019 the Texas music industry created more than 210,000 direct and indirect permanent jobs in communities all across the Lone Star State and generated $27.3 billion in economic activity,” said Governor Abbott. “Music Friendly Communities certified by the Texas Music Office are serious about attracting and developing the local music industry to spur job creation and economic growth. I congratulate Odessa on earning the Music Friendly Community designation, and I look forward to amplifying their continuing success.”
“Music is a great economic development tool that also enriches our lives,” said Senator Kel Seliger, who represents the Odessa area in the Texas Senate. “After all, we all have songs that elicit wonderful memories when we hear them. I’m grateful to Governor Abbott for this designation that will benefit both the businesses and the lives of Odessa residents.”
“As a lifelong Odessan, I’ve had the pleasure of sitting, standing and dancing in front of some incredible live music over the years all over our town,” said Representative Brooks Landgraf. “There must be something in this West Texas air because we are blessed with some incredibly talented singers, songwriters and musicians. From our school choirs to the bands that routinely come through Dos Amigos, there is always a song to sing in Odessa.”
“We are thrilled to become the next Music Friendly certified community in Texas,” Odessa Arts Executive Director Randy Ham said. “The Texas Music Office and other Music Friendly Communities will be a great resource for professional development for our local talent, while also allowing us to import great music from around the state!”
The Odessa community will celebrate the designation on Saturday, August 21 at the Ector Theater (500 N. Texas) immediately preceding the Aaron Watson concert at 7 pm. TMO Community Relations & Outreach Specialist Chip Adams will present the Music Friendly designation.
Odessa joins more than 20 other Texas cities that have received the official Music Friendly Community designation. These cities include Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Denton, Lindale, Stephenville, Conroe, San Angelo, Nacogdoches, Abilene, McKinney, Waxahachie, Waco, Alpine, Bastrop, New Braunfels, Victoria, Lubbock, Denison, Arlington, Brenham, Dripping Springs, Round Rock, and El Paso. Cities that are currently working through the certification process include Houston, Dallas, and Vidor.

Aunque soy gente, no me dejo
No me humillo y nunca agacho la mirada
Siempre a la orden pa’l desorden

Trabajando para darle lo mejor a mi familia
Hay palabra y hay respeto
Nunca andamos con ***
Siempre pa’l frente
Trabajando para darle lo mejor a mi familia
Yo no me rajo, no me espanto, voy con todo
Así me paso los días
Siempre con un tiro arriba
Y cuando hay chanza, agarramos la parranda
Para disfrutar la vida
Así me paso los días
Siempre con un tiro arriba
Y cuando hay chanza, agarramos la parranda
Para disfrutar la vida

Two men sentenced to 30 years in prison for Sharpstown kidnapping, rape
Two Houston men have been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the kidnapping, raping, and robbing of a woman in Sharpstown in 2017, Harris County District Attorney’s Office announced Saturday.
“No one should have to go through a random act of violence like this, and my heart goes out to the victim,” Harris County District Attorney Ogg said. “She was terrorized and traumatized and still had the presence of mind to get away and seek justice.”
Martin Cruz, 42, was sentenced to 30 years in prison by a Harris County jury late Wednesday after a week-long trial. He was convicted of aggravated kidnapping for abducting a woman at gunpoint outside an apartment complex in southwest Houston, across the street from Cruz’s apartment.
Evidence presented in court showed that Cruz and Ricardo Matilde-Silvas, 34, approached the victim on March 16, 2017, and forced her into her vehicle at gunpoint. Inside the car, she was sexually assaulted and made her wear a jacket over her head. They took her to an ATM, made her take out $300, and then brought her back to Cruz’s apartment where she was again sexually assaulted. After the attack, she convinced the two men to release her, and she immediately contacted Houston Police.
Matilde-Silvas pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault for his part in the incident in exchange for a 30-year prison sentence in April.
Assistant District Attorney Kim Nwabeke who handled the case with the prosecutor, ADA Chris Handley, told jurors during the week-long trial that the victim lived through her own horror story and came away stronger.
“She lived every young woman’s worst nightmare, being taken in the night by the monster next door,” Nwabeke said. “Now, she’s turned the tragedy into strength and is working to empower other survivors to speak out.”
The case was investigated by the Houston Police Department and prosecuted by the Sex Crimes Division of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
“We thank the jurors for their service and the prosecutors and police in this case for their work in seeing that justice was delivered for the victim and our entire community,” Ogg said. “We are grateful to them.”
