Texas won't say which private schools, vendors are profiting from state vouchers: Houston Chronicle
SchoolThe Texas Comptroller's office is refusing to release records showing how families are spending taxpayer-funded school voucher dollars, ABC13's partners at the Houston Chronicle reported on Thursday. Thursday, October 22, 2026 10:43PMHOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Texas Comptroller's office is refusing to release records showing how families are spending taxpayer-funded school voucher dollars, ABC13's partners at the Houston Chronicle reported on Thursday. School vouchers are taxpayer dollars families can use to help pay for private school. The billion-dollar program lets families use the money to pay tuition, buy school supplies, and get educational therapies. The Houston Chronicle reported that its reporters have repeatedly been denied documents and information on how families who receive the money spend it. The controller's office, led by Don Huffines, has repeatedly said people deserve to know how their money is spent but claims it is withholding the information to protect student privacy, according to the Chronicle. However, other states with similar voucher programs turn this information over to the public.

New England’s last loss in Chicago came in 2000, prior to the organization’s six Super Bowl titles or either one of Thursday’s starting quarterback being born. Will that streak of four consecutive wins be extended on Thursday night? The Patriots (4-2) enter with an injury list resembling a CVS receipt. Offensive guards Alijah Vera-Tucker and Ben Brown will both miss Thursday’s game, as will cornerbacks Carlton Davis III, Karon Prunty, and Channing Canada. Vera-Tucker was placed on injured reserve Thursday. Romeo Doubs joined fellow receiver Mack Hollins on the injured reserve this week. Doubs sustained a shoulder injury on a 42-yard touchdown catch in Sunday’s win over the Jets. The Bears (4-2) cruise into Thursday’s matchup coming off a 31-23 victory against the Falcons. Quarterback Caleb Williams returned from a three-game absence and showed no rust, finishing 30 of 36 passing for 305 yards and a touchdown. Can the depleted Patriots slow down Williams and a potent Bears’ rushing attack? The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. and can be watched on Amazon Prime and WCVB Channel 5.
