• Hot ticket: Juneteenth celebrations and World Cup watch parties (galvnews.com) — Texas City is rolling out a full week of Juneteenth activities, from gospel music and painting to a golf tournament, poetry slam, and a parade ending at Bay Street Park. Most events are free or low-cost and open to everyone, giving residents plenty of ways to celebrate locally while nearby communities host World Cup watch parties and Galveston’s ArtWalk. 
• How Counterfeit Mail Delivered Synthetic Cannabinoids To Inmates Across America (dallasexpress.com) — Law enforcement arrested a Texas City resident accused of mailing synthetic drugs disguised as legal correspondence to prisons across the country. Authorities say a search of his Texas City home uncovered drug-soaked papers, liquid K2, Suboxone, and cash, and investigators believe the case may be part of a larger trafficking operation targeting correctional facilities nationwide.
• Transit study seeks input from Galveston County residents (galvnews.com) — A regional transit study could finally bring better bus connections linking Houston, Galveston, and communities like Texas City, and planners are asking for your input.
