Day 2 of the murder trial is underway in the case involving Houston mother Maria Jimenez-Rodriguez, who disappeared in 2018. Erik Arceneaux is charged with her murder.

Yesterday, jurors heard testimony from Maria’s sister, Gloria.

Today, the jury has heard from Maria’s brother, her daughter’s babysitter, and two HPD Detectives who worked the missing persons case when Maria first disappeared.

Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare is prosecuting the case alongside Chief of Staff Lauren Byrne. Prosecutors say evidence, including videos, cell phone records, and Arceneaux’s own statements, links him to the crime.

Arceneaux was charged in 2019 but disappeared for years before being arrested in 2023. Maria has never been found. Prosecutors believe her remains were disposed of in a bayou.

Throughout yesterday and today’s testimony, Arceneaux has sat in the courtroom showing little expression, spending much of the time writing on a notepad.

SUSPECT WHO SHOT CONSTABLE DEPUTY BOOKED INTO JAIL!!!

On June 19, 2026, deputies with Constable Mark Herman’s Office responded to an apartment complex in the 15900 block of Woodland Hills Dr after reports of a man firing a rifle.

The suspect, identified as Edgar Villegas, was armed with a rifle when deputies arrived and made contact with him. During the encounter, Villegas allegedly fired his weapon, striking Deputy Dante Zepeda.

A large search involving patrol deputies, K-9 units, and specialized teams was launched. Villegas was eventually located and taken into custody. During the arrest, he was bitten by a police K-9 and transported to a local hospital for treatment.

After being released from the hospital, Villegas was booked into the Harris County Jail and charged with Aggravated Assault of a Public Servant, a first-degree felony. His bond was set at $250,000 by the 248th District Court.

Constable Mark Herman said violence against law enforcement will not be tolerated and that his office will continue working to hold those responsible accountable.

Please continue to keep Deputy Dante Zepeda, his family, and all members of Constable Mark Herman’s Office in your thoughts and prayers as he continues his recovery.

After the recent fatal shooting of John Mendoza Jr. by former BCSO Deputy Kevin Tippit, his family and supporters are still looking for answers and accountability.

According to what the Texas Rangers shared, video footage shows Tippit running up to John’s car, raising his gun, and firing one shot that killed him. They also said John did not ignore any commands and did nothing that would have justified deadly force.
However, the Rangers also said they found no proof that Tippit intended to kill John, and they did not call it murder because Tippit claims he does not remember what happened.

This has left John’s family confused and frustrated. John’s father says that right after the shooting, he asked who shot his son, and Tippit said that he did. Because of this, the family questions how Tippit can now say he doesn’t remember the incident.

The Mendoza wants accountability. They state that if a regular person was caught on video running up to an unarmed person and shooting them without reason, they would likely be charged with murder right away. They say the community deserves clear answers and honesty, and they hope District Attorney Selleck carefully reviews all the evidence before making a final decision.

The Mendoza family continues to seek justice for John Mendoza Jr.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is investing millions of dollars to build a massive new agriculture and livestock facility near Highway 288. The Rodeo is not moving from NRG Park. It’s expanding and creating more space for livestock shows, youth programs, and agricultural events!

Per HLSR:

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo today announced plans for a landmark livestock and agricultural complex on its property along Highway 288. This represents one of the most significant private investments ever made for agriculture and education as well as the largest single facilities investment in the organization’s more than 90-year history.

The multiyear project represents a significant investment in Texas youth and agriculture, expanding the Rodeo’s footprint while advancing its mission to promote education and Western heritage statewide.

“For nearly a century, this organization has existed to support the students, exhibitors, and families who make this event possible,” said Chris Boleman, president and CEO of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. “This represents the largest investment in Rodeo history and a profound commitment to the future of our event, educational opportunities and agriculture. It’s about honoring the trust families place in us when they bring their animals, their students and their dreams to this show. We are investing in a facility that reflects the importance of that responsibility.”

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo will remain at Reliant Park, where it has proudly called home for more than 65 years. The new complex is designed to complement, not replace, existing operations and to ensure continuity of year-round mission-driven events.

“For more than two decades Reliant Arena has been at the heart of our horse and livestock show operations,” said Wesley Sinor, chairman of the board of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

“But as the facility where we host many of these events has reached the end of its useful life, it’s been clear that we need to act. This investment is a commitment to our students, our exhibitors and the future of agriculture. It’s required us to look ahead to our centennial and beyond to ensure we are meeting that responsibility for generations to come.”

During the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, this new complex will host all horse show competitions, some livestock shows, junior and open breeding shows, archery competitions, agricultural mechanics, commercial auctions and educational contests, including 4-H and intercollegiate programming. While many livestock events will move, some will continue to be held at Reliant Center. In the off-season, the facility will support year-round use for educational programming, committee meetings, fundraisers, auctions and galas. The project will also create a dedicated year-round space for agricultural, youth and Western heritage programming that supports exhibitors, volunteers and partnerships with agricultural education organizations. The flexible building design allows for seamless adaptability and a wide range of unique event experiences throughout the year.

Designed first and foremost with animal exhibitors in mind, it will significantly enhance the overall experience by reducing travel distances and wait times during move-in and move-out, expanding gathering areas for families and friends, and providing modern, climate-controlled facilities that support both livestock and equine events year-round.

“None of this would be possible without the extraordinary dedication of our volunteers, the generosity of our sponsors and donors, and the support of our community partners,” said Pat Mann Phillips, former chairman of the board of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. “Together, we are building more than a facility—we are building a legacy that will serve our community and advance our mission for the next 100 years.”

While this facility is designed to meet today’s needs, it is built for the next generation. This project has been years in the making, as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and its more than 36,000 dedicated volunteers prepare for the Rodeo’s centennial in 2032. It represents the first step in a bold, long-term vision for the future.

“This investment is another strong example of Houston standing as a premier destination for agriculture, education and world-class events,” said Houston Mayor John Whitmire. “It expands educational opportunities for young people, strengthens our city’s reputation, and does so without placing any burden on taxpayers. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo continues to be a great partner to the Houston community.”

“For nearly a century, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has demonstrated what’s possible when an organization invests in its community. This new agricultural complex along Highway 288 will enhance Houston’s position as a leader in agriculture and education while creating year-round opportunities for the families and young people of Harris County,” explained Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis.

“A facility of this scale will expand access to opportunities that change lives. It’s a bold step forward, and one our community can be proud of.”

Together, this investment reinforces the Rodeo’s long-term commitment to serving Texas youth and preserving its role as a leader in agriculture, education and community impact. Construction will span several years, with the goal of welcoming guests in time for the 2029 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. More information will be shared this fall, including plans for a groundbreaking ceremony slated for late 2026.

About the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
