A terrifying moment in Georgetown as a car flipped in front of us as we were setting up for our live shot. Inside was a family and their 4 month old baby. My photographer and I helped the family to get the baby out of the vehicle. Thankfully everyone was ok and the baby was unharmed. We put them in our news vehicle to warm up as we waited for first responders to arrive. I beg of you please don’t get out on the roads if you’re in the path of this winter storm. Roadways are becoming worse by the minute and it’s almost never worth it. @fox7austin

The Texas Education Agency says there's been 354 complaints against Texas teachers for supposedly making inappropriate online remarks about Charlie Kirk's assassination. 95 of those complaints are still open for investigation. This comes after a September letter sent out by TEA Commissioner, Mike Morath, which said that all "reprehensible and inappropriate" comments shared by teachers online about Kirk's death would be investigated. The @TexasAFT has now filed a federal lawsuit against the TEA after it says some of its teachers were disciplined, terminated from their jobs, and even received death threats from the public after their online posts were reported.
