WildeFlora Coffee, which operates out of a trailer, is planning to expand into a storefront in Magnolia in late 2026, owners Ricardo and Mallory Reyes confirmed via email.

What you need to know: The new storefront will allow the business to expand its menu, partner with other small businesses and host events and gatherings, Ricardo and Mallory Reyes said.

Quote of note: “While our trailer has allowed us to connect with customers, a permanent space gives us the opportunity to deepen those relationships and become a true neighborhood hub,” Ricardo and Mallory Reyes said via email. “We want to create an environment where people can slow down, meet friends, work, study and connect.”

One more thing: In the meantime, the trailer will continue to be open, serving a variety of coffee and non-coffee options alongside pastries.

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.
