Brilliant…
AUSTIN MAN, a registered sex offender with at least two prior indecent exposure convictions, got caught exposing himself again. Prosecutors dropped that case and 11 more. Three months later he was charged with assaulting a security guard at a Rainey Street bar. A judge cut his bond to $1, he skipped court, and then he was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender again.
Howard Turner was arrested for indecent exposure in October 2024. Then came a string of trespassing cases. On Christmas Eve he was arrested for trespassing and theft, and four days later he was arrested for both again. He failed to register as a sex offender twice in one week. He ran from police, and DA Jose Garza's office filed no charges.
A judge found him incompetent to stand trial. Eleven months later, a judge ruled he was competent again. That same day, Garza's office dismissed the indecent exposure case and both sex offender registration felonies. County Attorney Delia Garza dropped the rest two days later.
In May, police say, he attacked a security officer at Bangers. In September a judge cut his bond from $7,500 to $1. He skipped his next court date.
Last month he was arrested again for failing to register as a sex offender.

AUSTIN MAN walks up to a couple in the parking lot outside Macy's at The Domain on Sunday afternoon, shoots the man multiple times, then forces woman into a car, and drives off with her.
Leonel Galvan Hernandez was out on bond for another aggravated assault with a deadly weapon when he did it.
Sheriff's deputies arrested him for that one in February. A judge set bond at $5,000 and issued an emergency protective order. He was back out two days after his arrest.
Then the case sat. The protective order expired in June. Eight months later, DA Jose Garza's office still hasn't indicted him. The case has been pushed to a sixth pre-indictment setting, scheduled for Nov. 18.
The male victim at the Domain survived after being rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. The woman was later found unharmed.
Two arrests for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in eight months. Zero indictments. Then one man shot and a woman kidnapped at a shopping mall.
Very cool.

Chuck DeVore: Early Texas Voting Shows a ‘Jump Ball’ With No Clear Party Advantage
@ChuckDeVore says the earliest signs from Texas voting aren’t showing a strong advantage for either party, calling the state a “jump ball at this point.” He cautions against reading too much into early-vote patterns, noting that when and how Texans cast their ballots can vary widely.
Totally unacceptable.
Same offender. Same area. Another innocent woman facing a terrifying, life-threatening encounter with a violent individual after previous cases should have raised alarms.
"The next time he does it, he's going to kill someone," Victim 1 said.
Local prosecutors should not be gambling with Texans’ safety.
The Travis County Attorney’s Office failed to hold this dangerous criminal accountable, allowing him to walk free and keep threatening the community.
Today, the House Select Committee on Governmental Accountability is taking a hard look at cases where local prosecutors prioritize criminals over victims and innocent Texans. The legislature is working with law enforcement, public safety advocates and crime victims to develop solutions that deliver justice and keep our communities safe. #txlege

Texas DPS and the FBI say they stopped a planned attack on the Texas State Capitol in Austin, arresting a 40-year-old man after investigators say he threatened to attack the Capitol and told a friend he was “angry at AIPAC,” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
BREAKING: Authorities say they thwarted an alleged plot to attack the Texas State Capitol on the same day President Trump is scheduled to visit the state.
Jonathan Hunt reports 40-year-old Benny Caldera was arrested near San Antonio after authorities received a tip about an alleged plan to "shoot up" the Capitol.
Caldera is now being held in federal custody as the FBI and Texas authorities continue their investigation.

On this day in 2010. @marcorubio was running for the U.S. Senate in the then-purple state of Florida against former Republican Charlie Crist (then an independent) and Democrat Kendrick Meek in the Tea Party year. I was a termed-out California State Assembly and just lost my primary bid for the Senate to Carly Fiorina. Marco went on to win and has given America exceptional service in the Senate and now at @StateDept as @SecRubio.

🚨 JUST NOW: Austin Police Chief SLAPS DOWN a Democrat lie about the ICE-involved shooting after one of their OWN COUNCILMEN claimed the agent struck the man's vehicle, then shot him via the back window "5 times"
Turns out, THAT'S WRONG. Only one wound and the man is RECOVERING — plus, there was a foot pursuit
The DEMOCRAT is INCITING against ICE without even knowing the facts! 😡
A Democrat lied and tried to make it seem like the agent nearly k*lled the suspect for no valid reason...
This is exactly why bodycams tend to vindicate officers. LEFTIST LIES COLLAPSE WITH EVIDENCE.

With his economy reeling, his military in disarray, and his plans in Greenland, Venezuela and Panama thwarted, Xi Jinping has faced setback after setback. He is about to face another when he meets with Trump at next week's summit. On with Brian Kilmeade tonight.
