Good morning, Denton.

A North Texas barber in Denton created a sensory-friendly haircut service for neurodivergent children using quiet clippers and a weighted cape—tools that ease sensitivities and build trust.

He has supported dozens of families by adapting his techniques and raising funds to cover the costs of these specialized haircuts.

Southwest Airlines announced it will change its refund policy for plus size passengers who purchase two seats.

Effective Jan. 27, customers can request a refund only if they meet three conditions+ the airline will also implement assigned seating on all flights.

White Castle said it will build its first Texas restaurant in Denton County at the Grandscape in The Colony near the Destination Drive and Grandscape Boulevard intersection.

The restaurant will open in summer 2026 and create 80 to 100 local jobs while serving its famous Sliders.

Denton County will begin a $40 million micro breakout project at the I-35W interchange on FM 407 in early 2026 to ease heavy traffic by moving guardrails back to create five lanes—extended turn lanes will be added and work is expected to finish in 8-9 months.
