Colleyville council members consider golf cart regulations

Colleyville City Council considered adding golf cart regulations to allow citizens to drive their personal golf carts on city streets at the May 5 council meeting. 

This was a first reading, meaning no vote was taken to finalize golf cart regulations, and Mayor Bobby Lindamood urged Colleyville citizens to email City Manager Jerry Ducay with suggestions for regulations.

“We would invite the public to email us what you do or don’t like and to give us ideas,” he said. 

What’s happening? The council discussed regulations at a previous worksession meeting after a citizen brought up wanting some so they could drive their golf carts on city streets, council member Ben Graves said. 

“We didn’t just sit around and say ‘let's bring up golf cart usage,'” he said. “It was brought to us.” 

Looking ahead: The golf cart regulations will be discussed again at the next council meeting May 12.

Q&A: Catch up with the Republican candidates for Texas attorney general ahead of the May 26 runoff

For the first time in over a decade, there is no incumbent in the Texas attorney general's race as Republican Ken Paxton runs for U.S. Senate. Candidates on both sides of the aisle will compete in runoff elections May 26 after no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the March 3 primaries.

State Sen. Mayes Middleton of Galveston and U.S. Rep. Chip Roy of Austin are each seeking the Republican nomination for the seat.

The overview: Middleton and Roy were the two highest-performing candidates in a four-person primary race. The winner of the May 26 overtime round will face the Democratic nominee and potential third-party candidates in November.

The context: The attorney general serves as Texas' top lawyer, defending the state in court, filing consumer protection lawsuits and issuing opinions interpreting state law. The agency also enforces Texas' child support laws, investigates human trafficking cases and manages access to public records.

At the polls: Texans can vote early May 18-22 and runoff election day is May 26.
