• The Woodlands $50 million Houston deal: What residents get (yourconroenews.com) — A proposed $50 million agreement between The Woodlands and Houston would permanently block Houston from annexing the township and let The Woodlands keep more of its future sales tax revenue. Township leaders have already approved the deal, which redirects existing and new funds to Houston in exchange for long-term protection and financial flexibility, but it still awaits a Houston City Council vote.
   

• Ex-hospital director accused of bathroom spying wants evidence tossed (lmtonline.com) — A former patient care director at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center is asking a Montgomery County judge to throw out some evidence in his criminal case involving alleged secret restroom recordings. Multiple related cases are pending, a motion to suppress has been filed, and a key hearing is scheduled for late September, keeping the case active in local courts.
   

• City of Portage selects finalist for City Manager position (arcwestmichigan.com) — A top administrator from The Woodlands Township, Karen Dempsey-Horan, has been chosen as the finalist for city manager in Portage, Michigan, with contract talks now underway.
