Clarification, June 9, 2022 at 3:06 p.m.: A previous version of this story said that the coastal barrier project would span thousands of miles of Texas Coast. The Texas coast is 367 miles long, and has 3,300 miles of estuarine shoreline, which includes bays and estuaries.

Correction, June 8, 2022 at 5:20 p.m.: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the classroom where Robb Elementary School student Zayin Zuniga was in when the mass shooting in Uvalde happened. He was in Room 102, not Room 111, his mother said. For the children who survived the Uvalde shooting uninjured, trauma will take time to heal
Correction, June 7, 2022 at 4:55 p.m.: A previous version of this story misspelled the name of one of Rosalind Alexander-Kasparik’s brothers. His name is Mark Alexander, not Marc Alexander. It also incorrectly stated which structure burned down. It was a hay barn, not a dairy barn. The story also stated that a house close to Colton Road was the home of Alexander-Kasparik’s great-great-great-grandmother, but it’s uncertain whether that was her home. Decades after Texas took part of its historic farm, a family fights again to save its land from a highway expansion
Correction, June 6, 2022 at 11:38 a.m.: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the name of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School Board superintendent. His name is Hal Harrell, not Bob Harrell. At first meeting since massacre, Uvalde school board takes no action on police chief
Correction, June 3, 2022 at 12:16 p.m.: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported that nine people were members of a House committee investigating the Uvalde shooting.

Correction, May 31, 2022 at 9:09 p.m.: A previous version of this story gave the incorrect name for the church where Juan Antonio Santos was interviewed. It's Sacred Heart Catholic Church, not Scared Heart Catholic Church. Uvalde’s “back-the-blue” values collide with outrage over police response to Texas’ worst school shooting
Correction, May 27, 2022 at 10:54 a.m.: A previous version of this story erroneously reported that 280 schools have participated in the Guardian Program allowing school employees to carry concealed weapons. There are 280 school districts participating in this program. Texas already “hardened” schools. It didn’t save Uvalde.
Correction, May 26, 2022 at 2:36 p.m.: A previous version of this story gave the incorrect year for the Sutherland Springs shooting. It was 2017, not 2016. A chart in this story also incorrectly stated the number of people injured in the Uvalde school shooting. It was 17 people injured, not 13. Texas has had eight mass shootings in the past 13 years, while lawmakers have steadily loosened restrictions on carrying firearms
Correction, May 25, 2022 at 8:42 a.m.: A previous version of this story gave an incorrect detail about when Democrats in Texas last held statewide office. 1994 was the last year a Democrat won a statewide election, not the last time one held a statewide seat.

Correction, May 24, 2022 at 10:53 p.m.: This story misspelled the name of the Connecticut town where the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School took place. It is Newtown, not Newton. Analysis: Grief. Horror. Inaction. Texas mass shootings follow a numbing script
Correction, May 23, 2022 at 8:46 a.m.: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Dr. Jennifer Shuford is the chief state epidemiologist at the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. She is the chief state epidemiologist at the Texas Department of State Health Services. Experts say Texas is ready for latest COVID-19 uptick but advise caution
Correction, May 22, 2022 at 2:15 p.m.: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that 2004 was the last year any Texas Democratic congressmen lost reelection in a primary. The last year that happened was 2012 when Beto O'Rourke beat Silvestre Reyes. In rematch, Jessica Cisneros faces a weakened Henry Cuellar for South Texas congressional seat
Correction, May 17, 2022 at 5:29 p.m.: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that employers who have worker’s compensation insurance coverage can file claims with a unit within the Texas Department of Insurance. The agency provided the erroneous information to the Tribune but later said it does not process workers’ compensation claims; it serves as an arbitrator whenever there’s a dispute between the parties involved in a claim filed in Texas. Personal information of 1.8 million Texans with Department of Insurance claims was exposed for years, audit says
Correction, May 17, 2022 at 11:02 a.m.: A previous version of this story misstated in one instance the number of people who could be added to the Medicaid rolls if Texas expands Medicaid.

Correction, May 13, 2022 at 2:59 p.m.: A previous version of this story erroneously said that Texas GOP chair Matt Rinaldi declined an interview request.

Correction, May 11, 2022 at 2:31 p.m.: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Crystal Mason said she knew that she was ineligible to vote in the 2016 elections.

Correction, May 10, 2022 at 7:48 p.m.: A previous version of this story said that Care Net's 82 Texas crisis pregnancy centers have not been able to keep up with demand since the state banned abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy. The centers have kept up with increased demand, but worry that they will not be able to meet demand under a near-total abortion ban. Texas isn’t ready to support more parents and kids in a post-Roe world, advocates warn
Clarification, May 6, 2022 at 2:34 p.m.: This story has been updated to reflect that Austin is the first Texas city to use local tax dollars for a “guaranteed income” program, and that other Texas cities have experimented with similar programs using other types of funding. Austin becomes first Texas city to test a taxpayer-funded “guaranteed income” program
Correction, May 4, 2022 at 4:52 p.m.: A previous version of this story included a quote from Whole Women’s Health Alliance saying that the organization would pay for travel to its clinics. The organization now says an executive misspoke and that it works with abortion funds to help patients pay for travel but does not provide the funding. Texas’ restrictive abortion law previews a post-Roe America
Correction, April 25, 2022 at 2:11 p.m.: An earlier version of this story misspelled the name of U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales. It's Gonzales, not Gonzalez.
