A new spot for smoothie bowls, blended beverages, bites and coffee is set to open in Round Rock next month.

What you need to know: Rush Bowls, a smoothie bowl shop, will open in the La Frontera retail center located at the northwest corner of I-35 and Louis Henna Boulevard in August, the company announced via social media July 15.

About the business: The menu includes a variety of smoothie bowls with toppings such as fresh fruit, granola and shredded coconut; blended smoothie beverages; grab-and-go granola, banana bread and coconut bites; refresher-style beverages called revivers; and cold-brewed coffee.

Round Rock ISD is close to wrapping up a full replacement of its bus fleet, the district announced in July. 

In a nutshell: The district provided an update to the community via its website July 3, stating that RRISD's transportation department is in the "final stages" of replacing its fleet of 65 buses using 2024 bond funds. 

Why now? The replacement comes as a new law requires all school buses to have three-point seatbelts by September 2029. The mandate comes from Senate Bill 546, approved during the state's 2025 legislative session.

At least one person has died due to flooding in the Texas Hill Country, Gov. Greg Abbott said July 16.

The details: The fatality occurred along the Guadalupe River between Kerrville and Comfort—downstream from Hunt, where many summer camps are located and the majority of the flooding took place in July 2025. Flooding this year has been more intense downstream than upstream, Abbott said.

Zooming in: More than 70 people have been rescued from floodwaters, and evacuation orders have been issued in multiple parts of South-Central Texas, the governor said.

"We have massive flooding in ... the Greater Kerrville area, but we also are looking at what's been taking place in Uvalde—there are massive challenges in Uvalde as well," Abbott told reporters. "In fact, people need to expect very meaningful flooding in the Rio Grande [Valley]."

The big picture: Parts of South-Central Texas were expected to see more than 30 inches of rain during this week's storms, and 59 counties were under a state disaster declaration.
