The City of Corpus Christi’s Municipal Court is beginning Warrant Resolution Month today. Throughout September, neighbors can address outstanding warrants for traffic citations, code enforcement violations, and Class C misdemeanors.

The court is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with extended hours on Thursday.
Belmeade Drive Resurfacing
- Street closed for repavement through September 12
- Project is part of the city’s Rapid Pavement Program
- Full construction expected to wrap up in mid-October
Belmeade Drive from Gollihar Road to Orms Drive in the Bay Area will be closed until September 12 for repavement. This is the first phase of resurfacing Belmeade Drive from Gollihar Road to Airline Road.
During this phase, the road is closed to through traffic, but residents will still have driveway access. The entire project is expected to continue through mid-October.
Judge Blocks Deportation Plan
- Federal judge halts Trump administration policy
- Plan aimed to expand expedited deportation nationwide
- Ruling cites due process concerns
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s plan to speed up deportations of migrants detained in the interior of the country.
Currently, expedited removal only applies within 100 miles of the U.S. border for individuals who have been in the country less than two weeks. The judge said the nationwide expansion would deny due process.
However, a June Supreme Court ruling limited district court injunctions to only those who brought the lawsuit, not nationwide.
Taylor Fresh Recall
- Recall issued for Honey Balsamic Salad Kit
- Dressing mislabeled as Asian Sesame Ginger
- Products sold in 25 states including Texas
Taylor Fresh Foods is recalling its Honey Balsamic Salad Kit due to an undeclared ingredient issue. The dressing in the kit was mislabeled, containing Asian Sesame Ginger instead of Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette.
The recall applies to kits with a “best if used by” date up to and including September 4. The products were sold in 25 states, including Texas. Consumers should discard the kit and may seek a refund at the store of purchase.
Powerball Jackpot Grows
- No winner in Saturday’s drawing
- Jackpot now an estimated $1.1 billion
