The founder of Gateway Church - Robert Morris - has plead guilty to child sex abuse charges. He will serve six months behind bars and be required to register as a sex offender. The charges stem from abuse committed 4 decades ago in Osage County, Oklahoma. @CBSNewsTexas

I tried to get Rep Spiller to spill on his expectations for how many special sessions we’ll see… And checked to see if Rep Plesa has her bags packed amid rumors Dems may try to break quorum…

Texas House has opened the special session. “A quorum is present” @CBSNewsTexas

Texas House and Senate scheduled to gavel in at noon. @CBSNewsTexas

@CBSNewsTexas State Rep Gene Wu: “Governor Abbott is using this tragedy, using the deaths of  hundreds of Texans as the doorway to get what he wants. We will see if they have hearings on flooding first. We will see if they bring that legislation to us first.“ @CBSNewsTexas

@CBSNewsTexas Casar: “We have a multi step plan. We will need to buy time, and that means keeping everything on the table, doing whatever it takes having on the table, filibusters, dragging out hearings, quorum breaks…” @CBSNewsTexas

@CBSNewsTexas According to the divorce petition, the Paxtons have been married for 38 years, but haven’t lived together in over a year. It lists AG Paxton as living in the McKinney home that his wife seeks a court order to prevent him from “entering or remaining on”. @CBSNewsTexas

@CBSNewsTexas Specifically, she’s seeking exclusive use and possession of their home in McKinney… as well as financial support. @CBSNewsTexas

Texas state senator Angela Paxton is accusing her husband, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, of adultery in a petition for divorce. “The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities…” @CBSNewsTexas

Blood loss is a leading cause of death among Americans under the age of 46 involved in a trauma. Dallas is now offering victims new hope, allowing paramedics to start blood transfusions in the field. cbsnews.com/texas/news/dal… @CBSNewsTexas @DallasFireRes_q @caraathome

@unburdenedman @CBSNewsTexas When I’m live in studio? They’re my notes. If the promoter fails, if I forget what I want to say, I refer to my notes.

@CBS11Andrea @CBSNewsTexas Why do you hold that paper during your standup? Is that supposed to make you look more serious? Honest question.

Things are probably not going well if you’re in an HR meeting (or in this case, internal affairs) and this is what you’re getting asked. It’s how we’re kicking off my story tonight at 10pm… @CBSNewsTexas

@DoctorTyMD @JohnBasham @POTUS @SenTedCruz Hello, I'm sorry to hear this affected you personally. I'm a reporter with CBS News Texas. Would you be willing to interview about this situation?
