HTexas’ dental health is among the worst in the nation, a new study by the personal finance website WalletHub found. Texas came in 47th place in the rankings, beating only Montana, West Virginia, Arkansas and Mississippi, and it ranked next-to-last in the percentage of adults who paid a visit to the dentist in the past year.

A new consumer ranking has named San Antonio-based H-E-B the best grocery retailer in the nation, besting Costco and Amazon. The Retail Preference Index, compiled by the U.K.-based firm Dunnhumby, found that H-E-B established strong emotional connections with its customers and is considered relatively affordable. H-E-B also took the top spot in the ranking in 2020.

HA Donald Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas could dramatically restrict abortion access by siding with a coalition of anti-abortion activists who are challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s 20-plus-year-old approval of the abortion drug mifepristone. Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has longstanding ties to the Christian right. If he rules against mifepristone, and if that ban is upheld by higher courts, the decisions could signal the end of medicated abortion in the United States.

A new forecast from the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise predicts that San Antonio’s economy will be one the 10 fastest growing in the country this year, with Austin and Dallas also making the list. San Antonio’s gross domestic product is expected to rise by 1.4% this year, lower than the 2.6% the city’s GDP grew last year but still strong given predictions of a coming nationwide recession. — Abe Asher
