DENTON, Texas (AP) - Investigators believe that a slain taxi
driver found stabbed and burned in rural Denton County had been
robbed. His van was found abandoned about a mile away.
     
The taxi driver's name has not yet been released. Justin
firefighters found his body Thursday night about five miles west of
Texas Motor Speedway as they were extinguishing a grass fire.
     
Denton Sheriff's Office officials say the man was stabbed in the
chest and his throat cut. There was a large amount of blood on the
front and rear seats of his van.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
