(September 13, 2021) Texas gas prices have fallen 1.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.81/g today, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Gas prices in Texas are 4.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 93.0 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas is priced at $2.29/g today while the most expensive is $3.59/g, a difference of $1.30/g. The lowest price in the state today is $2.29/g while the highest is $3.59/g, a difference of $1.30/g. The national average price of gasoline has fallen 1.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.15/g today. The national average is down 2.8 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 97.7 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $2.94/g, up 1.8 cents per gallon from last week's $2.92/g. San Antonio- $2.66/g, down 3.3 cents per gallon from last week's $2.69/g. Austin- $2.72/g, unchanged from last week's $2.73/g. "Sagging U.S. gasoline demand along with continued recovery after Hurricane Ida have helped gas prices edge slightly lower in most states from where they were a week ago. But with Tropical Storm Nicholas threatening another key area of refineries in Houston with significant rain, we could see the decline in prices hit the pause button," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "While Nicholas would appear to be a minor storm, we could see a deluge of water - the same issue that caused some significant damage in Ida's wake to refineries in Louisiana. Combined with the earlier storm, Nicholas could make things more challenging. However, as gasoline demand has now fallen for four straight weeks, there is more breathing room even if some capacity does temporarily go offline. It's too early to tell, clearly, but motorists should be aware." GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA's once daily survey covering credit card transactions at 100,000 stations and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on 7,000 gas stations, GasBuddy's survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.

Win Their First Game of the 2021 Season Jamming the Jaguars 37-21
The Montgomery County Republican Women were blessed to have two outstanding Texas Sheriffs as there speakers for the recent August meeting. Speaking on the Border Crisis, S h e r i ff R o y B o y d o f Goliad County, stated that he talks with Homeland Security agents daily to share information and stop the illegal activities passing through the country. He added, that although the Goliad County Sheriff ’s office does not enforce immigration, it is often overwhelmed “by the complex transitional criminal organizations who are moving slaves from foreign countries” into its jurisdiction. This activity puts the safety of local landowners at risk and also puts those being trafficked in danger and issues his officers address range from trespassing to theft, property damage and lives endangered!

By: James M. Rankin, Sport Writer Montgomery County News Houston, Texas: It was a surprisingly remarkable game with two first year coaches of their respective NFL teams with David Cully for the Texans and Urban Meyer for the Jaguars. Unfortunately, there can only be one winner for their first outing and that goes to the Texans Jamming the Jaguars 37-21. Newly acquired quarterback Tyrod Taylor looked rock solid as the l e a d e r o f t h e Te x a n s offensive unit as he went for twenty-one (21) completions on thirty-three (33) attempts for two hundred and ninety-one (291) yards with two (2) touchdowns. Tyrod was also effective with the ground attack averaging ten (10) yards a scramble ending the day with forty (40) rushing yards. Texans’ running back Mark Ingram scored the first touchdown punching it in on their second series from the oneyard line capping a fourteen (14) play and eighty-fouryard drive. Ingram has twenty-six (26) carries for eighty-five (85) yards averaging three (3) yards a carry. Texans’ wide receiver Brandin Cooks looked electric with an outstanding performance with five (5) receptions for one hundred and thirty-two (132) yards. Another additional to the offense was the acquisition of ex-Patriot Danny Amendola, who played slot, had his first touchdown as a Texan. His experience, quickness and sure hands will be a tremendous asset for the team. Fill in place kicker Joey Slye went three (3) for three (3) in the field goal department along with four (4) extra points. The Texans defense were tough on the Jaguars’ rookie first round draft choice quarterback Trevor Lawrence who had three (3) interceptions and a sack against him. The Texans had only three (3) interceptions for the entire 2 0 2 0 s e a s o n . Te x a n s defensive back Desmond King led the team with five (5) solo tackles and three (3) assists. During the press conference, Texans Head Coach Cully told the reporter, “We were not surprised; we expected to win. When you take care of the ball, you will win!” The Texans has had a complete makeover with thirty (30) new players on the roster. It appears that the hard work in preseason is paying dividends for the team. The Houston Texans travels to Ohio to take on the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. The Texans are at the top of the AFC South division as the Colts, Jags and Titans lost their first game, so read all about it in your hometown paper.
