1. Nueces County moves closer to demolishing historic 1914 courthouse (kiiitv.com) — Nueces County has cleared a major hurdle toward demolishing Corpus Christi's long-vacant 1914 courthouse after state officials agreed to end a preservation restriction early. Before any teardown begins, the county must document the building to national standards, salvage key architectural pieces, invest in preservation work, and create a permanent historical record and commemorative display for the community. 
2. Friday heat returns with a round of sea breeze showers in the forecast (kristv.com) — Corpus Christi is in for another dangerously hot Friday, with temperatures near 100 degrees and heat index values around 110, so residents are urged to take precautions. A few sea breeze showers could pop up Friday and rain chances increase through Labor Day weekend, offering some relief while summer-like heat stubbornly hangs on.
3. Ray rolls over King, moves to 2-0 (kristv.com) — Ray High School's football team dominated King 47-6 in a CCISD matchup at Buc Stadium in Corpus Christi, powered by two big touchdown runs from quarterback Tripp Thompson. As Ray moves to 2-0 and prepares to face Miller and Carroll next, King will regroup at home against Bishop in search of its first win.
