Kendall Appraisal District is planning a building expansion that will effectively double the size of the current office space.

The overview: Boerne City Council on Jan. 27 approved a resolution to support the appraisal district expansion. City staff stated that the appraisal district requires the support of all taxing entities before the expansion can be implemented.

According to agenda documents, the current Kendall Appraisal District building was built 15 years ago and has allowed the district to operate without incurring facility costs for local entities. During that period, the district returned more than $1 million to the contributing entities.

The 4,950-square-foot building was intended to house 17 employees, a collections office, a break room, a server room, a conference room, and data storage. Due to area growth, the district projects an additional 750-1,000 formal protests by 2027.

Club Car Wash has opened a third location in the Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch area, adding another car-washing option near Fair Oaks Parkway.

The details: Located at 28353 I-10 E., next to the QuikTrip and McDonald's, Club Car Wash offers tiered wash packages alongside free vacuums, mat cleaners and more, according to its website. Monthly unlimited wash memberships are also available for patrons.

A new $2.5 million outdoor classroom, located at the future Texas Cavaliers Education Center, is scheduled to open this spring.

What you need to know: Paid for with funds donated by Susan Naylor, the new outdoor classroom will be named in memory of her son, William Naylor Smith, and will provide a dedicated outdoor space on the Alamo grounds for children to learn from experts, according to a news release. The outdoor classroom will feature built-in stairs and greenery.

According to the news release, roughly 155,000 school-aged children visit the Alamo each year. With the opening of the Texas Cavalier Education Center, the number is expected to reach 250,000. The Texas Cavalier Education Center will feature safe school bus access, a STEAM Lab, a Distance Learning Lab and an agricultural garden.

The March 3 primary election is coming up, and so is the deadline to register to vote. Eligible Texans must register by Feb. 2 to cast votes in dozens of races, including 18 statewide officials, 38 members of Congress, 166 state legislators and various local seats, such as county judges and commissioners.

How to register: Texans must submit a paper voter registration application by Feb. 2. Applications can be mailed to their county elections office or delivered in-person.

To avoid delivery delays under new federal postmark rules, prospective voters may requests that mailed applications be hand-stamped at a local post office.

The big picture: Texas holds primaries for partisan elected positions at the federal, state, regional and local levels. Republican and Democratic primary voters will have a say in which candidates will represent their chosen political party on the November ballot, shaping who is ultimately elected to each seat.

In recent years, no more than one-fourth of registered Texas voters have cast ballots in primary elections, state data shows.
