• Nurse charged with sexually assaulting his son was youth pastor for a San Antonio-area church (star-telegram.com) — Universal City residents are learning more about a local nurse now jailed on charges of indecent sexual contact with his infant son after his wife reported him to Universal City police. The story details his past role as a youth pastor at a San Antonio-area church, his continued volunteer work with children there, and ongoing investigations into additional alleged assaults involving hospital patients. 
• What Texas families should know about new student restraint rules (dallasnews.com) — New state rules on restraining students will directly affect families in the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City school district, where parents previously sued over alleged unlawful restraints on special education students. The Texas Education Agency now bans pain-inducing restraints, tightens when restraint is allowed, and requires regular crisis-prevention and de-escalation training for school staff, especially those working closely with students with disabilities.
