Good morning, Corpus Christi.

Nueces County officials and former judges gathered today at the Leopard Street courthouse to unearth a 1977 time capsule—bringing together a letter, yearbook, and pipe from the past.

A new capsule will be buried for future discovery in 2076.

Bob Hall Pier will close for 12 hours on Thursday, July 9 (5 a.m. to 5 p.m.) for construction crews to pour concrete walls for a new concession area, and the pier is expected to reopen by day's end.

The Nueces County Family Drug Court reunited over 70 foster children with their families from 2022 to 2024, saving nearly $868,000 by reducing jail and hospital visits, officials said on Wednesday.

The program ties drug treatment with judicial oversight to help parents overcome substance abuse.

The Veterans Band of Corpus Christi marks 40 years of honoring military members and veterans as Nueces County commissioners recognized them today.

Formed in 1986 and supported by community donations, the band has traveled to places like Washington and Hawaii and is preparing for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas.

The Nueces River Authority has delayed design work for a seawater desalination pipeline intended to ease the region's water shortage, and local cities have paid non-refundable fees to reserve future water.

Without new contracts or payments by August, the project will face further delays.

The Port of Corpus Christi will purchase and demolish historic Crossley Elementary School, a Northside landmark built in 1926 that served students of color.

No redevelopment plans are set after demolition, while community members recall its legacy (some express deep loss).

Nueces County Veterans Service Officer J.J.

De La Cerda was honored during Wednesday’s Commissioners Court meeting for receiving the Texas Veterans Commission Annual Top Performer Award — recognizing his service among more than 400 county officers statewide.
