Good morning, Corpus Christi.

Married duo Justin (Rooster) Graves and Michelle Graves have spent 14 years with their nonprofit I Am Courageous performing at Driscoll Children's Hospital and other local facilities to bring hope and joy to hospitalized kids and their families.

Their dedication continues to brighten difficult days.

Country singer Ella Langley will headline a show with special guests Kaitlin Butts & Gabriella Rose at Hilliard Center as she rides the success of her upcoming album Dandelion.

The event will draw local music fans looking for a lively night out.

Coastal Bend families can apply for the Texas Education Freedom Accounts today at 9 a.m. to cover private school tuition and home school expenses.

Del Mar College's Board of Regents voted on Feb.

3 to keep in-district tuition at $75 per credit for the 2026-27 year, complying with Gov. Abbott's call not to raise rates. The college will offer a revised Freedom to Dream program for in-district first-time full-time students next fall.

Local beachgoers reported three octopuses stranded on shore after a recent cold snap dropped Gulf water temperatures.

Marine expert Jace Tunnell said the chill can slow octopuses, causing them to be pushed ashore — a natural, though uncommon, winter occurrence.

The park did not explain the decision.

A Corpus Christi city memo notes the Evangeline Groundwater Project is expected to produce only 4 MGD in the near term, far below the roughly 60 MGD needed, and Tuesday's City Council vote may boost supply by expanding the Western Well Field (a $28M project) to cover the gap.

Three months after funding was announced, Corpus Christi is distributing $264,000 to four local nonprofits—The Salvation Army, Mother Teresa Shelter, Mission 911, and Dismas Charities—with each receiving about $55,000; city data shows the homeless count in Nueces County dropped below 800, though officials say more help is needed.

Corpus Christi will unveil a Bell Huey helicopter monument at Sherrill Veterans Memorial Park tomorrow at 10 a.m. to honor military veterans, with Mayor Paulette Guajardo and local officials attending the dedication of the 15-foot monument and its new 8,200 sqft concrete path.

Veterans Memorial boys and girls basketball teams beat rival Carroll on Tuesday by scores of 96-66 and 55-36 while state-ranked Sinton girls rolled past Rockport-Fulton 56-31 on the road.
