Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 8th of April.
Good morning, New Braunfels.
🏘️ Community
Last Saturday, nature enthusiasts joined Comal County AgriFest in New Braunfels despite brisk, cool—rainy weather.
Rachelle Garza-Cadena took over as executive director at Family Promise of Greater New Braunfels—she will lead the group in supporting local families.
💼 Business
New Braunfels teen Lilly Gibbons started a custom jewelry business—turning pet ashes into personal accessories—after she lost her dog Piper on Thanksgiving Day 2023.
The business offers pet owners a new way to honor their beloved companions.
🌲 Environment
Canyon Lake in Comal County was 47.1% full as of April 7, a record low that led officials to close motorized boat ramps and limit water use.
The low water level has affected the supply for New Braunfels and San Marcos — residents are urged to conserve water.
🏛️ Government
The Texas Public Policy Foundation filed its opening brief at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to challenge New Braunfels’ ban on short-term rentals — a legal move that could change local rental rules — and the case now awaits further review.
