State school finance
trial shifts focus
The sweeping case chal-

schools are funded entered a
new phase Tuesday, now
focusing on efficiency with
testimony from a suburban
Fort Worth mother who
home-schooled her fifth-

The case before state
District Judge John Dietz
focuses on $5.4 billion law-

from victim in hotel room
A 20-year-old man was

“During the pat-down, offi-

The man was charged with
robbery and brought to jail.
