Bzz! Bzz! 🐝 Texas has been undergoing a massive bee boom. Texans like Art Holbrook have figured out a way to have their property taxes plummet—all the way down to $8. The trick? He'd simply put bees on his land. This may sound like a cheat code, but it’s all perfectly legal. In 1978, voters passed a state constitutional amendment to help farmers with large acreages but thin profits stay afloat in a tide of rising taxes. So the Legislature directed county appraisal districts to value farm and ranch properties at lower rates compared to other properties in the state. Since taxes are generally based on a property’s value, the law has resulted in massive tax relief for farmers and ranchers over the last forty years. These “special valuations” have been widely used by traditional agricultural producers—those who run cattle or grow hay, for instance—but in 2012, the Legislature afforded them to landowners involved in beekeeping too.

Happy #NationalWhataburgerDay, y’all. 🤠 On this day, 74 years ago, the first Whataburger opened in Corpus Christi. A momentous occasion that, decades down the line, provided us with the greatest challenge ever: seven days, 21 meals, and only Whata on the menu. https://txmnth.ly/4fDEZpL We sat down with our news and politics editor Ben Rowen over one of his favorite menu items, and dug into what he learned during his journey, what he didn't and whether he feels like he's truly earned the cowboy hat we discouraged him from wearing in the video. You can watch it on our Instagram: https://txmnth.ly/3AhBVzC

From her home in Galveston and her menopause clinic in nearby Friendswood, 56-year-old ob-gyn Dr. Mary Claire Haver, MD has emerged as a leading voice for women struggling to be taken seriously by doctors quick to dismiss symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, joint pain, and brain fog. Haver helps fill the void by offering medical information in thousands of approachable videos on social media—it’s not unusual to see her in pajamas at home. Read more about Haver, her groundbreaking work, her new book "The New Menopause," and how she handles misinformation: https://txmnth.ly/3Wkw5os 📷: Mary Kang

Investigation: A revision of the Texas Senate's employee policy was supposed to address the misconduct exposed by the Me Too movement. In practice, however, the policy protects the institution, not the women who work there. During a nearly yearlong investigation, our reporters interviewed current and former elected officials, legislative staffers, interns, and lobbyists, to learn about allegations and a culture that continues to enable misconduct.
