The details: NECOA’s showroom at The Woodlands Mall opened May 8, and the second showroom will open at Baybrook Mall on May 15, the brand’s publicist said.

Why it matters: The Korean brand chose Texas to make its U.S. debut, opening its first showroom in Frisco in 2025 before opening another showroom in Austin in March, NECOA Marketing Manager Paul Smith said. 

At the May 11 regular board meeting, Tomball ISD Chief Financial Officer Zack Boles said the district is facing a projected $8 million shortfall for fiscal year 2026-27 due to the opening of two new schools in August.

Budget explained: For FY 2026-27, the projected revenue is $256.4 million, and the expenditures are projected to be $264.4 million. The proposed budget represents a 7.59% increase in revenue compared to FY 2025-26, but leaves a total projected shortfall of around $8 million.

More details: Boles said the projected shortfall is due to the openings of Tomball West High School and the fifth-grade addition at Creekside Park Junior High in August, along with a general pay increase for employees.
