Good morning, Denton.

A 55-year-old Denton man pleaded guilty on Monday to stalking WNBA star Caitlin Clark and was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison, with orders banning him from contacting the athlete and attending team events (he also will have no internet access during his sentence).

North Texas organizations are hosting several events to give out free backpacks, school supplies & health checkups before the new school year starts.

The schedule ranges from Aug. 1 to Aug. 29 in districts across the region, ensuring students and families have key resources in time for classes.

Denton city officials took steps to block plans for a wastewater treatment plant on former state Rep. Jim Horn’s property near the Rainbow Valley community—officials say the move is intended to protect local water quality.

Veterans in North Texas have seen sharp cuts to VA-funded in-home care, forcing an 80-year-old Marine veteran from Denton to lose 37 hours of service—dropping to 13 hours per week and having to move into assisted living.

Data showed that the share of veterans receiving over 20 hours dropped from 37% in June 2024 to 11% in June, and the VA introduced a new system to approve care hours correctly.
