PORT ARANSAS, Texas - Earlier this year the State Legislature passed HB 2553 which stopped TxDOT from continuing the registration of golf carts effective September 1st. The bill allows counties and municipalities to register the vehicles.
In a unanimous vote on Thursday, the Port Aransas City Council passed the third reading of an ordinance which will allow the City to register carts for the continued use of residents and visitors alike. Additional details are in a recent Corpus Christi Caller Times article.

There is a great article in this weekend's edition of the LA Times that further illustrates how Texas is performing better than most in difficult economic times.
"Texas' population, the nation's second largest at about 25 million, is expected to be boosted this year by net inflows of at least 150,000 people from other states, said Karl Eschbach, the state demographer. Seniors are a growing part of that trend, lured by aggressive campaigns from state officials and developers."

PORT ARANSAS, Texas - Earlier this week an algal bloom that is commonly referred to as red tide was plaguing portions of the Texas Coast. The National Seashore and northern sections of Padre Island saw the worst of the conditions. On Thursday, the red tide extended to the southernmost section of beach in Port Aransas. As the Corpus Christi Caller Times is reporting, a well-timed cool front arrived and had an immediate impact.
Sunny skies and afternoon highs near 80 degrees are forecast for the next five days.
