👮 Nearly 36 years after a young couple was killed in West Houston, police say they have made an arrest in the long-unsolved “Lovers Lane” case. Floyd William Parrott, 64, was arrested in Nebraska and charged with capital murder in the 1990 deaths of Garland “Andy” Atkinson and Cheryl Henry.

Investigators say DNA evidence helped connect Parrott to the case after years of dead ends. Officials called the arrest a moment of progress and hope for the families, as law enforcement never gave up searching for answers.

Thank you to law enforcement for continuing to investigate this.

🛩️ Houston travelers faced long TSA lines at Bush Airport Thursday, with waits stretching past four hours during the federal shutdown. Mayor John Whitmire said the issue should be resolved quickly as pressure builds to fix staffing shortages.

Federal leaders are working to address TSA pay, and additional help is coming from other agencies, including ICE, to support screening operations. With major events increasing travel, officials say these steps aim to ease delays and restore normal wait times as soon as possible.

🍹 Houston-based Woody’s Brands is growing fast, with new spots opening across Texas. A Little Woodrow’s just opened in Frisco, bringing games, drinks, and a lively sports vibe. It is now the chain’s 24th location and will serve as an after-party spot for local baseball fans.

Closer to home, a new Woody’s Hideaway is planned for Webster later this year. The space will feature games, karaoke, and a full kitchen. For locals, it is a sign that a homegrown Houston brand is continuing to grow and bring new places to gather and have fun.

🏢 Houston-based Americana Partners is growing fast. The firm just acquired NRT Consulting, a Midland company, marking its third deal in the past year. This move lets Americana bring accounting and consulting services in-house, making things simpler for its clients.

The company also named Mike Mitchell as its new CFO. With years of experience in mergers and large firms, he will help guide future growth. For Houston, it is another sign of a local company expanding and building something bigger.
