The selected entities will be contracted to conduct CBCOG's next regional law enforcement training academy program.
About the Program
For over 40 years, CBCOG has partnered with accredited academies to provide high-quality, cost-effective training to law enforcement agencies across its eleven-county, thirty-three-city region. This includes vital support for independent school districts and institutions of higher education.
This program is funded by a state grant from the Office of the Governor, Public Safety Office, and operates in full compliance with TCOLE rules and the Texas Administrative Code (37 TAC Part 7). The primary goal is to equip law enforcement agencies in the CBCOG region with superior education, training, and professionalism to effectively protect their communities.
Bid Opportunities and Details
CBCOG anticipates a two-year continuation grant, with up to $165,380 allocated for contracting with eligible training providers. The contract will be a cost reimbursement type, with a proposed grant period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2027.
- Accredited academies are invited to bid on delivering the Basic Peace Officer Certification (BPOC) course and continued education courses. Academies currently conducting a BPOC course may be eligible for retroactive reimbursement.
- Individual TCOLE training providers are invited to bid on offering continued education courses.
Perimeters
- All interested parties must be in compliance with the Texas Administrative Code (37 TAC Part 7) and all rules established by TCOLE. Training courses should not duplicate TCOLE-approved online or distance learning courses unless they are expanded to include additional topics.
- The maximum rate for courses from a single vendor will not exceed $81.25 per hour, or $650.00 per day. The total contract cost should not exceed the anticipated grant amount of $165,380.

Notice of a Public Meeting and a Proposed Renewal With Amendment of General Permit TXG130000 Authorizing the Discharge of Wastewater
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is proposing to renew and amend Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit TXG130000. This general permit authorizes discharges into or adjacent to water in the state from aquaculture facilities and other activities related to aquaculture. The draft general permit applies to the entire state of Texas. General permits are authorized by Texas Water Code, §26.040.
DRAFT GENERAL PERMIT. The executive director has prepared a draft general permit renewal with amendments of an existing general permit that authorizes discharges into or adjacent to water in the state from aquaculture facilities and other activities related to aquaculture. No significant degradation of high quality waters is expected and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The executive director proposes to require certain dischargers to submit a Notice of Intent to obtain authorization to discharge.
The executive director has reviewed this action for consistency with the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) according to General Land Office regulations and has determined that the action is consistent with applicable CMP goals and policies.
On the date that this notice is published, a copy of the draft general permit and fact sheet will be available for a minimum of 30 days for viewing and copying at the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk located at the TCEQ Austin office, at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building F.

Public Notice: Mandatory Coverage for Eligible Juveniles who are Inmates of a Public Institution and Post Adjudication of Charges
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit transmittal number 25-0029 to the Texas State Plan for the Children's Health Insurance Program, under Title XXI of the Social Security Act.
The purpose of this amendment is to submit the required documentation for Section 5121 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), 2023, which requires states to provide CHIP screening and diagnostic services and case management to eligible incarcerated youth. Eligible incarcerated youth are post-adjudicated individuals enrolled in CHIP. The proposed amendment is effective January 1, 2025.
At this time, the impact to state general revenue is unknown. HHSC is leveraging existing systems and processes to facilitate access to existing Texas CHIP services as soon as practicable after release from carceral settings. Initial implementation activities have no fiscal impact as HHSC will not update systems, not create new CHIP services or providers, nor update CHIP managed care organization capitation payments. HHSC requires direction and appropriations from the Texas Legislature to fully implement Section 5121 of the CAA, 2023.
To obtain copies of the proposed amendment, interested parties may contact Jayasree Sankaran, State Plan Coordinator, by mail at the Health and Human Services Commission, P.O. Box 13247, Mail Code H-310, Austin, Texas 78711; by telephone at (512) 438-4331; or by email at Medicaid_Chip_SPA_Inquiries@hhsc.state.tx.us.

Revised Public Notice: Texas Medicaid State Plan Amendment to Make Changes to the Language for Existing Medicaid Clinic Services Benefit and the Clinic Services Benefit Four Walls Requirement for Indian Health Services (IHS) and Tribal Clinics
The original notice regarding changes to the Medicaid clinic services benefit language and the clinic services benefit four walls requirement for Indian Health Services (IHS) and Tribal clinics request was posted in the Texas Register on April 4, 2025. This revised notice reflects a correction to remove language under the clinic services benefits that is no longer applicable in the state plan.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit transmittal number 25-0017 to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act.
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to remove language under the clinic services benefits in the state plan and to make requirements for Indian Health Services (IHS) and Tribal clinics consistent with the requirements set forth from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 42 CFR §440.90. The proposed amendment requires a mandatory exception to the four-wall requirement for the Medicaid clinic services benefit to authorize reimbursement for clinic services provided outside the four walls of IHS and Tribal clinics. The proposed amendment is effective January 1, 2025.
The proposed amendment is estimated to have no fiscal impact, as it is not expected to have an effect on Medicaid utilization or cost.
To obtain copies of the proposed amendment, interested parties may contact Jayasree Sankaran, State Plan Coordinator, by mail at the Health and Human Services Commission, P.O.

When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.
C. As an alternative method of claiming a "$100,000 BONUS MULTIPLIER" Scratch Ticket Game prize, the claimant may submit the signed winning Scratch Ticket and a thoroughly completed claim form via mail.

Mail all to: Texas Lottery Commission, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The Texas Lottery is not responsible for Scratch Tickets lost in the mail. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.
D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct the amount of a delinquent tax or other money from the winnings of a prize winner who has been finally determined to be:

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize under $600 from the "$100,000 BONUS MULTIPLIER" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

When a signature is placed on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the Scratch Ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

The Texas Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. to receive public comments on the proposed August 2025 Revision to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for FY 2025 - 2028. The hearing will be conducted via electronic means. Instructions for accessing the hearing will be published on the department's website at: https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/get-involved/about/hearings-meetings.html.
The STIP reflects the federally funded transportation projects in the FY 2025 - 2028 Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) for each Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in the state. The STIP includes both state and federally funded projects for the nonattainment areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, Houston and San Antonio. The STIP also contains information on federally funded projects in rural areas that are not included in any MPO area, and other statewide programs as listed.
Title 23, United States Code, §134 and §135 require each designated MPO and the state, respectively, to develop a TIP and STIP as a condition to securing federal funds for transportation projects under Title 23 or the Federal Transit Act (49 USC §5301, et seq.). Section 134 requires an MPO to develop its TIP in cooperation with the state and affected public transit operators and to provide an opportunity for interested parties to participate in the development of the program. Section 135 requires the state to develop a STIP for all areas of the state in cooperation with the designated MPOs and, with respect to non-metropolitan areas, in consultation with affected local officials, and further requires an opportunity for participation by interested parties as well as approval by the Governor or the Governor's designee.
A copy of the proposed August 2025 Revision to the FY 2025 - 2028 STIP will be available for review, at the time the notice of hearing is published, on the department's website at: https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/transportation-planning/stips.html.
