That is after details came to light that kids in custody were put under restrictive lockdown conditions in August.

KERA's law and justice reporter, Toluwani Osibamowo, broke the story, and has this update.

The Texas Juvenile Justice Department, or TJJD, put its five facilities across the state on lockdown after a child in custody assaulted a correctional officer.

Records obtained by KERA and the Texas Newsroom showed kids engaged in self-harming behavior, urinated on themselves, and were pepper-sprayed just a few days into the lockdown.

Those restrictions have eased over the past month, but the Texas Civil Rights Project sent TJJD a letter accusing the agency of violating kids' rights.

The group also says TJJD shouldn't break ground on two new facilities in North Texas and the Houston area because of the alleged youth rights violations.

Now the defendants in the suit are arguing that the mural wasn't even a work of art.

KERA's Markita Fornoff rescues us from this.

The artist Weiland argued painting over his mural violated the Visual Artist Rights Act.

This law protects artists from having their work altered or destroyed.

By late August, someone spray-painted a white outline of a whale.

The Trinity River gets a bad rap.

Um, and he understands that AI can be useful, but um, even in, in a creative process, but within certain parameters.

He did a really great interview recently with KERA, which is the NPR radio station, a- well, and TV station, um, in Dallas, where he was talking about, um, the AI s- uh, part of the College of Music curriculum and the research isn't scraping from everybody else in the world, it's homegrown.

So the, the sources of their AI use are all created within the University of North Texas College of Music, which I think is pretty cool.

Um, where we're going...

This is after a failed effort to stop the recall petitions in court.

As KERA's breaking news reporter, Emanuel Rivas-Valazuela, reports this is all part of the backlash against the proposed Project Patriot data center and power generation facility.

Emanuel, good morning.

Hello, guys.
