The Wildflower Outlaws, a family-operated boutique, is now open in a historic building in Grapevine.

The store sells women’s apparel with a western bohemian flair and a focus on quality, handpicked pieces. Many of the store’s clothing lines are made in the U.S. and international pieces are hand made by artists, according to previous reporting.

What happened? By the time the mother-daughter trio of April, Bri and Lily Starr found the location on Main Street, owner Lisa Miller had the building under contract. Grapevine City Council ultimately denied plans for a wine tasting room from Grape Creek Vineyards in May, according to previous reporting.

That opened the door for the clothing store to become a reality. 

The background: The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior, according to previous reporting.

The varied use of the location started in the early 1900s when silent films were played.

Approximately three dozen new Texas laws are scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, impacting how artificial intelligence is used in state government, when local officials can raise taxes after natural disasters and how much of businesses' inventory is taxed.

The background: The changes come after Texas’s biennial legislative session ended in early June. Gov. Greg Abbott signed over 1,100 laws passed by state lawmakers, many of which took effect in June or September.

The details: Some of the bills becoming law in the new year are:

• House Bill 9, which will expand a tax exemption for business owners
• House Bill 30, which will tighten regulations on counties' and cities' abilities to raise tax rates after natural disasters
• House Bill 149, which will regulate the fast-growing AI industry
• House Bill 247, which will exempt certain border security infrastructure from property tax increases
• House Bill 1399, which will create a property tax exemption for stores selling animal feed
• House Bill 2508, which will establish a property tax exemption for the surviving spouse of certain military members
