The Montgomery County Memorial Library System on Feb. 19 marked the grand opening of the Innovation Space at the Kevin Brady Library in The Woodlands, a creative space including its Podcast Studio and an Innovation Lab with tools such as 3D printers.

What to expect: Part of the Innovate@MCMLS initiative, the space includes several 3D printers with different capacities, a 3D scanner, a large-format cutting machine, heat presses and a sublimation printer and other tools.

Quote of note: "We need [libraries] more than ever," said Kevin Brady, who retired as representative of Texas' 8th Congressional District in 2022. "These are learning centers ... to expand your world. ... It's not just for kids, it's for adults, for small-business people, for seniors. The county has done a beautiful job with this library."

With a few days left to vote early in the March primaries, more Texans have turned out to the polls this year than in recent primary elections.

The gist: The increase is particularly pronounced among Democratic primary voters, state data shows, with more than twice as many Democratic votes cast by Feb. 24 than in Texas’ last gubernatorial primary.

Zooming in: Statewide, nearly 1.3 million Texans, or about 7% of the state’s 18.7 million registered voters, cast early ballots through Feb. 24, the eighth day of the 11-day early voting period. This is up from about 6% turnout at the same point in 2024 and about 4% turnout in 2022.

In interviews with Community Impact, election analysts attributed Texas’ rising primary voter turnout in part to a slate of competitive, high-profile races on each party’s primary ballot.

At the polls: Early voting in Texas’ Republican and Democratic primaries runs through Feb. 27, and primary election day is March 3. During early voting, registered voters can visit any polling location within their county of residence.
