    Identification of Milkweeds (Asclepias, Family Apocynaceae) in Texas Texas milkweed (Asclepias texana), courtesy Bill Carr Compiled by Jason Singhurst and Ben Hutchins [email protected] [email protected] Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas and Walter C. Holmes [email protected] Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas Identification of Milkweeds (Asclepias, Family Apocynaceae) in Texas Created in partnership with the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Design and layout by Elishea Smith Compiled by Jason Singhurst and Ben Hutchins [email protected] [email protected] Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas and Walter C. Holmes [email protected] Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas Introduction This document has been produced to serve as a quick guide to the identification of milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) in Texas. For the species listed in Table 1 below, basic information such as range (in this case county distribution), habitat, and key identification characteristics accompany a photograph of each species. This information comes from a variety of sources that includes the Manual of the Vascular Flora of Texas, Biota of North America Project, knowledge of the authors, and various other publications (cited in the text). All photographs are used with permission and are fully credited to the copyright holder and/or originator. Other items, but in particular scientific publications, traditionally do not require permissions, but only citations to the author(s) if used for scientific and/or nonprofit purposes. Names, both common and scientific, follow those in USDA NRCS (2015). When identifying milkweeds in the field, attention should be focused on the distinguishing characteristics listed for each species.

    16 Million People Travel Between Houston and North

    MARKETING CONTENT TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston 1 MARKETING CONTENT ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Hous- ton and North Texas has been under development for five years. The project expects to begin construction in 2018, and will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including a stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between Texas’ two largest economic hubs, using proven, world-class technology. The increased mobility between two of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the US made possible by the Texas Bullet Train will deliver substantial and long-lasting benefits to both the state and local economies. Texans will have a safe, productive and reliable choice for travel between Houston, the Brazos Valley and North Texas. ABOUT THE STUDY In January 2016, Texas Central appointed L.E.K. Consulting to conduct a study exploring the opportunity for a high-speed train service in Texas and the benefits it could bring to Texans. L.E.K. has developed a commercially-driven, technology-enabled forecast for passenger demand including: • Estimating the market size and growth rate for travel between the two metropolitan areas; • Undertaking primary market research with input from more than 2,000 Texans to understand local travel habits and determine the Texas Bullet Train’s potential share of the travel market; and • Building a robust and highly granular forecasting model to predict future passenger demand under a range of assumptions and different scenarios.

    (RHP) Plan Community Needs Assessment Southeast Texas Regional Healthcare Partnership

    Regional Healthcare Partnership (RHP) Plan Community Needs Assessment Southeast Texas Regional Healthcare Partnership - Region 3 REGION OVERVIEW The Southeast Texas Regional Healthcare Partnership is the largest Regional Health Partnership (RHP) in Texas and includes more than 4.8 million people who receive healthcare through one of the most comprehensive healthcare systems in the world. While each county has a distinctive population and health care infrastructure designed to serve the local community, patterns of health care utilization and physician referrals commonly cross county lines, providing access to an extended network of providers and organizations positioned to serve the diverse population of this region. Following is a brief overview of the nine counties participating in RHP Region 3. Austin County: Austin County is located in the Northwest area of Region 3 and includes a population of approximately 28,417 residents. The county is 663 square miles in size and is primarily a rural population. It includes six incorporated (Bellville, Brazos Country, Industry, San Felipe, Sealy and Wallis) and 18 unincorporated communities, and three school districts. The community’s median household income is $51,418 with 25 percent of households earning less than $25,000 annually and 20.5 percent earning $100,000 or more.1 The county’s only hospital is the Bellville General Hospital, a 32-bed full-service acute care facility. In 2010, the hospital reported more than 5,000 emergency room visits, nearly 64,000 outpatient visits, and 620 inpatient admissions. Behavioral health care services are available through Texana Mental Health and Mental Retardation Center, Youth and Family Services, and Austin County Outreach.

Abstract Over the years, the Palm Center (PC) in Houston, Texas, has been the beneficiary of several economic development endeavors designed to ignite economic and community growth and revitalization. While these endeavors brought forth initial success, they have failed to transform the PC into a lasting model of economic growth and prosperity and to inspire community pride and engagement. The development of METRO’s Southeast Line light rail station at the Palm Center Transit Center presents the prime opportunity for meeting the needs of the community by implementing design concepts and principles that provide social, environmental, and economic benefits to those living within close proximity of the transit station.
  • Dear JRAN Community: Today, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo Held A

    Dear JRAN Community: Today, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo Held A

    March 23 NOON - JRAN Email Dear JRAN Community: Today, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo held a press conference to brief the public on the status of social distancing and the county’s testing sites. I will go over the press conference, what a “stay-at-home” order may look like, a call to action for Congress, Walker County’s curfew, and one interesting thing I learned today. I anticipate more developments later this afternoon, so I will keep this email brief. There is no “stay-at-home” order currently, but are still requiring social distancing: • Will not be called “shelter in place” because it does not describe what is being asked o Shelter in place typically is used during hurricanes or other natural disasters o Requires people not to leave their homes o Stay-at-home will allow people to leave for essential services • Harris County and the City of Houston are still assessing what services are considered “essential” before making a determination of a stay-at-home order Harris County has opened two testing sites, bringing the total public sites to three (City of Houston has one): • Each site has the capacity to test 250 people per day • Must complete an online assessment at www.ReadyHarris.org • Can also call 832-927-7575 • 3 step process: o Online screening (or by phone if no internet access) o Phone assessment o In-person test (will be given unique code) • Only people who are symptomatic will be tested • Priority testing will go to o First responders o Health care workers o People 65+ o People at higher risk due to existing medical conditions There have been a lot of questions around what a stay-at-home order will require.
