The high court says Dallas, Houston, Austin and other cities improperly named the state of Texas as a defendant in a suit alleging telecom providers get an unlawful discount on the rates they pay to cities.
The Woodlands residents looking to participate in Pride Month celebrations can take advantage of the community's proximity to Houston, where numerous events are likely to take place. Given the area's strong connection to the larger Houston metropolitan area, it's probable that many locals will head south on Interstate 45 to attend parades, festivals, and other festivities. The Woodlands Township and local businesses may also consider hosting their own Pride Month events, which could be held in hubs like Town Center or The Woodlands Mall, providing a more convenient option for those who want to stay closer to home. As the community continues to grow and diversify, it will be interesting to see how The Woodlands chooses to acknowledge and celebrate Pride Month in the years to come.
