Good Morning! On this day in 1876, Texas cattleman Charles Goodnight and Irish financier John G. Adair established the JA Ranch in Armstrong County. It is the oldest privately owned ranch in the Panhandle, and its headquarters was designated a national historic landmark in 1960.

A fireball lit up the South Texas sky early Monday morning. A Brownsville resident said he was "awestruck." Check out a video of the impressive sight here.

Political Protests and Violence

Texas Democrats Veronica Escobar of El Paso and Joaquin Castro of San Antonio said their names were among the 45 elected officials on a "hit list" compiled by Vance Boelter, the man charged with murdering one Democratic lawmaker and wounding another in Minnesota.

On Monday, it was reported that Boelter had attended Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, graduating in 1990. "This is not what we teach," said the school in a statement.

In related news, the suspect accused of planning an attack on lawmakers at the Texas Capitol on Saturday has been identified as Robert Leroy Bowers, 45, of Katy. Authorities arrested Bowers in Fayette County after being alerted of his intentions by a friend.

Yesterday, the Texas Department of Public Safety stated that nine people were arrested during Saturday's "No Kings" protest in Austin. Local police also arrested three people during the demonstration, and three officers were injured.

Woman Fraudulently Marries Ex-Boyfriend

A 42-year-old Central Texas man was surprised to learn that he was married to his ex-girlfriend on Friday when he received a gift bag from her with a copy of a marriage certificate from the McLennan County Clerk's Office.

Kristin Marie Spearman, 36, is accused of obtaining the fraudulent certificate by convincing a local pastor to sign a marriage license the former couple had received before her boyfriend broke off the relationship.

Spearman left the document at her ex-boyfriend's house with gifts from Bath & Body Works and a photo of herself holding the signed marriage license.

"I don't think in 23 years I've ever heard of anybody who managed somehow to get married to someone who wasn't present for a ceremony," said Beverly Hills Police Chief Kory Martin.

Neither the victim nor the pastor has been identified. Spearman was charged with third-degree felony stalking and is being held at the McLennan County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

James Beard Awards Honor Three Texans

Three Texans were honored at the annual James Beard Awards in Chicago on Monday. Forty Texas restaurants and chefs were named as semifinalists in January, and 13 finalists were selected in April.

Chad Houser, the founder and CEO of Cafe Momentum in Dallas, received the Humanitarian of the Year Award. With locations in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Denver, Cafe Momentum employs formerly incarcerated youth and teaches them life skills.

Arjav Ezekiel, the co-owner and beverage director of Birdie's in Austin, was named Outstanding Professional in Beverage Service. Since opening in 2021, Birdie's has been recognized as "Restaurant of the Year" by Food & Wine and last year's "#1 Restaurant in Austin" by the Austin-American Statesman.

Finally, Thomas Bille, the owner of Belly of the Beast in Spring, received the award for Best Chef in Texas. Serving Mexican cuisine, Belly of the Beast won a Bib Gourmand recognition in the first-ever Texas Michelin Awards last year.
