Media entertainment group Dude Perfect is pursuing a state designation that would provide a temporary exemption from certain sales and use taxes tied to the company’s planned expansion at The Star in Frisco. 

What it means: The designation is part of a state program aimed at supporting and promoting the media production industry in Texas, according to city documents. If approved by the state, the incentive would provide a two-year exemption from certain sales and use taxes on specific construction and equipment costs tied to the facility expansion.

Some context: Dude Perfect, which has a headquarters at The Star Business Park, is an entertainment group that produces trick shot and stunt videos for social media. The company plans to invest about $1.7 million to expand into an adjacent warehouse, creating a connected production campus.

The local impact: An economic impact analysis study attached to the application details that the expansion could add more than 100 full-time employees to Dude Perfect’s workforce over an 11-year period, with 40 new workers expected to be hired this year. 

Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt could be opening a new location in Frisco, according to the company's website. 

The details: Construction on the new yogurt shop location is scheduled to start this August, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt offers self-serve yogurt with a wide range of flavors and toppings.

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.
