141 people arrested, drugs and guns seized in Fort Worth operation, feds say

A multi-agency operation in Fort Worth that lasted more than two months led to the arrests of 141 people , the seizure of more than 60 kilograms of drugs and the recovery of 38 guns, officials said. The charges faced by the suspects arrested during this operation include possession of a machine gun, escape from detention, narcotics distribution, and illegal reentry into the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas. “When bad actors bring illicit drugs, illegal firearms, traffic children and women, and insert violence into our neighborhoods, they threaten the quality of life of our Fort Worth families and residents. That is why we launched Operation New Day,” U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould said during a news conference on Monday. Raybould said 45 people were arrested on drug-related offenses and face charges of possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, primarily those dealing methamphetamine and fentanyl in and around Fort Worth. The operation led to the seizure of 100 grams of fentanyl, over 22 kilograms of cocaine and over 45 kilograms of methamphetamine, he said. Related to illegal guns, 15 people face federal charges with more to come, and

They sought country living. Then Fort Worth annexed the land next door

If the American Dream is a house with a picket fence and a two-car garage, the Texas Dream is a house with a picket fence, a two-car garage and enough open space that you can do what you want without bothering your neighbor and — more importantly — without your neighbor bothering you. The problems start, though, when one of those neighbors is a real estate developer with enough land, money and sway to remake a neighborhood, igniting a debate over property rights. Just ask the residents of Redbird Lane, a narrow country road that intersects with FM 1187 a few miles east of Interstate 35W in southern Tarrant County. There, urban expansion is happening faster than some would like, leading to a complicated, if not entirely unique, situation in which homeowners believe their quality of life is eroding as development aspirations threaten to bring crowds to their doorsteps. Expansion collides with rural living in south Tarrant County The neighborhood of around 40 homes on Redbird Lane and adjacent Mockingbird Road is like a community unto itself. The houses sit on a couple of acres or more, so the area attracts the kind of person looking to escape the crush

Toddler wandered from Fort Worth daycare, found in middle of street: lawsuit

A toddler escaped her Fort Worth childcare center and was found alone on a busy road, according to a new lawsuit filed against BeYOUtiful Beginnings childcare center. Felisha and Travae Jones allege their 2-year-old daughter wandered from the center on a hot summer’s day in August 2025 without staff noticing. Their daughter, who is referred to as F.J. in the suit, was found by two Good Samaritans “in the middle of a high-traffic street” — Parkwood Hill Boulevard, just north of Basswood Boulevard, in far northeast Fort Worth. The lawsuit was filed in Tarrant County District Court on Thursday. The family, represented by attorney Russell Button of The Button Law Firm, is requesting monetary damages of more than $1 million and a jury trial. BeYOUtiful Beginnings did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. “A daycare lost a 2-year-old for so long that she was able to wander through (a) parking lot and alleyway completely unnoticed, go down a grassy hill, and walk into traffic, while nobody inside the daycare even knew she was missing,” Button said. “It’s Daycare 101: Don’t lose children. Working parents drop their kids off at daycare to be watched, cared for, and

Crowley ISD parts ways with Crowley head football coach Carlos Lynn

Crowley head football coach Carlos Lynn is no longer with the program. In 2023, Lynn’s first year at Crowley, the Eagles posted a 7-4 record one season after finishing 4-7. In 2024, Crowley improved to 8-5 record but slipped in 2025 and 2026 with consecutive three win seasons. The 2026 season was especially challenging due to the 2026 UIL realignment, which placed Crowley in the District of Doom alongside state powers North Crowley, Waxahachie and Duncanville. Crowley finished 2-5 in district, defeating Dallas Skyline and Mansfield. Lynn was 21-24 at Crowley. Under his direction in 2024, Crowley made it past the area round for the first time since 1971. Before he served as the Eagles’ coach, Lynn spent six seasons at the helm with Cedar Hill, where he posted a 44-26 record. Cedar Hill went to the playoffs under Lynn four times with a trip to the area round (2019), regional semifinals (2021) and the Class 6A D2 state championship game (2020). Before his time leading Cedar Hill, he spent nine years at Arlington Seguin, where he posted a 44-50 record. He also served as an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Cedar Hill under Joey McGuire, now the head
