An Amarillo man was arrested in China Thursday after allegedly stealing two cars and spending three nights hiding in a deer blind in the woods.

A Beaumont man faces four  felony charges for allegedly attempting to solicit an undercover officer posing as a 14-year-old girl.

Two people were severely injured in crashes during this week's icy weather, Beaumont Police said.

Hamshire-Fannett ISD may release middle and high school students early this morning due to "water issues" in the district.

The plywood ramp leading up to David Bridwell's house was coated in a thin layer of ice Wednesday morning as melting water dripped from his roof.
Until recently, he was sleeping in a tent beneath the carport at his Rose City home, with two space heaters and a tarp as a shield from the wind.
Bridwell and Luanne Clymire were able to move back into his partially repaired living room before this week's bitter cold front came through, though the house is far from finished.
"It got too cold, we couldn't take it anymore," said Clymire.
