off a wave of homebuying

The intended victim was not at the

made contact with homicide investi-

Robbins said Mont Belvieu has
hosted a kickoff event and raffled off
prizes. They also plan to host other
events like Workout at the Park to
help boost point earnings.
“There are opportunities to win
prizes throughout the challenge,”
Robbins said.
Susan Passmore, Goose Creek
CISD spokeswoman, said it would
participate this year.
“There will be a presentation at
the Monday board meeting, and the
board will sign pledges,” Passmore
said.
For Barbers Hill ISD, Jami Na-
varre, district spokeswoman, said
the district is listed under the “school
district” choices to gain points from
registered members.
“But we did not register as an em-
ployer because we wanted to work
alongside the city to support them,”
Navarre said.
Alice Jauregui, City of Baytown
spokeswoman, was asked if the City
of Baytown is planning to join the
challenge this year.
“I spoke to (Mayor Brandon Ca-
petillo), and he said we will partici-
pate as we have in year’s past,” Jau-
regui said.

The answers on offense for the Dallas Cowboys going
into coach Mike McCarthy’s second season are in place,
simply waiting to return from injury, most notably quar-
terback Dak Prescott.
The defense is another story.
The future of defensive coordinator Mike Nolan is the
starting point after the Cowboys gave up a franchise-re-
cord 473 points (just shy of 30 per game) and finished
31st in run defense, allowing 159 yards per game.
McCarthy didn’t exactly endorse his most important
hire after a 23-19 loss to the New York Giants eliminat-
ed Dallas (6-10) from the playoffs a few hours before
Washington made that defeat moot by beating Philadel-
phia 20-14 to win the NFC East.
“Well, I think that all those things, myself included,
those evaluations will all start next week,” McCarthy
said when asked if Nolan would return. “We will sit
down with every player and have exit interviews, every
coach and have exit interviews. Just so you know, I an-
swer this question the same every year.”
The core of defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and
linebackers Leighton Vander Esch and Jayion Smith
isn’t likely to change.

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans know Deshaun
Watson is the quarterback they need to lead them next
year and beyond.
After that, things are a lot murkier for the franchise,
which finished this season at 4-12 after winning the
AFC South the previous two years.
First on the list of priorities for the Texans is to hire a
coach and general manager. Houston fired Bill O’Brien,
who manned both roles, after an 0-4 start and Romeo
Crennel finished out the season as interim coach.
The Texans have already interviewed former Detroit
coach Jim Caldwell and fonner Bengals coach Mar-
vin Lewis, and are said to be interested in Kansas City
offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and Indianapolis
defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, among other can-
didates.
Houston’s next general manager will have the tall
task of improving the team without a pick in the first
or second round of this year’s draft. Miami has both of
those picks as part of the deal that brought left tackle
Laremy Tunsil and receiver Kenny Stills (who was re-
leased in November) to Houston.
Watson didn’t mention any contenders for the lead
roles by name, but he had strong words for what he’d
like to see from his next coach.
“We just need a whole culture shift,” Watson said.
“We just need new energy. We just need discipline. We
need structure. We need a ... leader so we can follow
that leader as players.”
=Watson continued to play at a high level even as
the Texans lost their last five games. He led the NFL
in yards passing with a franchise-record 4,823 yards,
moving ahead of Patrick Mahomes (4,740).
