A partnership now underway between the Montgomery County District Attorney’s office and the international Human Trafficking Institute will bring additional training and resources to local law enforcement agencies, officials said.

What you need to know: The expected change in leadership in the Montgomery County DA's office, as Brett Ligon announced he will step down from the position, will not affect the partnership, according to a statement from the DA's office.

What they're saying: The institute will bring experts from all over the country to help local law enforcement agents recognize more signs and indicators of human trafficking, said Capt. Adam Acosta with Montgomery County Constable Precinct 3’s office.

“Anybody who is under the submission of control to another human being and they are being forced to do something or coerced to do something sexually that they don't really want to do, but they're doing it because they're being controlled. That's human trafficking,” Acosta said.

Houston’s inaugural Fleet Week event honoring U.S. military has been postponed until 2026 due to what city officials called “significant challenges” due to the federal government shutdown, according to an Oct. 22 news release. 

More details: Fleet Week, a celebration of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard, held in various locations across the country, was originally scheduled to be in Houston from Nov. 5-12, which coincided with the Veteran’s Day federal holiday. Fleet Week Houston was to serve as the closing event for the yearlong celebrations of the Navy and Marine Corps' 250th anniversaries.

What to expect: While no new dates have been announced, city officials said they will be working with the Port of Houston and military leadership to announce when the new dates can be confirmed.

“The city of Houston and the Steering Committee want to ensure our inaugural Fleet Week Houston is an outstanding experience that appropriately honors service members and deepens community-military connections,” a statement from city officials reads.
