Golf simulator Precision Golf Labs opened at the Denton Square Business Center at the end of December, owner Tommy Hunter said.

The details: The single-bay unmanned simulator operates 24 hours a day. Customers can book a time to golf and receive a code that unlocks the door at their designated time, Hunter said.

The facility accommodates one party at a time, and guests have private access to the facility during their scheduled time.

The simulator uses Trackman golf simulation technology, which tracks several golf parameters, including ball speed, swing speed and ball distance.

Guests can play on simulated golf courses from around the world, including Saint Andrews in Scotland, Hunter said.

This November, Texas voters approved 17 constitutional amendments, also known as state propositions. Here’s what’s next for some of those propositions and what they mean for Texans.

The overview: Texas voters authorized the state to spend $1 billion annually on water supply funding, totaling $20 billion over a two-decade period, through Proposition 4. Funding will flow into the Texas Water Fund, a state account created in 2023 to help finance water projects.

However, state law requires that the money does not begin moving into the water fund until September 2027, and it will not be available for grants until 2029. Until then, state agencies, water utilities and local organizations will need to plan for funding, adjust rules and processes to align with recent state laws and update Texas’ water and flood plans, according to the Texas Water Foundation.

More details: Texas homeowners were set to see expanded property tax breaks on their 2025 tax bills under Propositions 11 and 13. Four other property tax exemptions approved by voters will take effect Jan. 1.
