Good morning, New Braunfels.

Local bridge players from Austin — San Angelo and everywhere in between filled the civic center today for the annual sectional competition, building strong ties among neighbors.

Three people were arrested in Kyle when officers stopped a car with expired registration and found stolen mail from 37 addresses, eight fake credit cards, a crowbar, and a duffle bag of mail—Torie Salitrero, the driver with active fraud warrants in New Braunfels, faced charges for organized criminal activity and mail theft.

RSVP America Reads is asking for more Comal County volunteers to assist local seniors teaching elementary students reading — the program is set to meet growing student needs in South Central Texas.

On Sept. 4, the Comal County Commissioners Court approved a 2026 amended budget of $181 million, up from last year's $162 million, and set the tax rate at 30.5 percent to support future growth.
