• Texas Flood Response — Dangerous flooding across the Texas Hill Country and other parts of the state brought together local law enforcement, firefighters, emergency personnel, Texas DPS troopers, and Texas Game Wardens. Responders deployed boats, aircraft, and high-water rescue vehicles while conducting rescues, closing unsafe roads, and helping families reach safety. TMPA thanks every first responder working through dangerous and rapidly changing conditions and reminds Texans to never drive around barricades or attempt to cross flooded roadways.

• New Blue Grit Podcast — TMPA Vice President Tyler Pride and Training Coordinator Jay McClellan preview the major changes coming to the 2026 TMPA/TXFOP Joint Conference in Dallas, July 24–26. The episode covers the return of Cop Karaoke, a redesigned Casino Night, the live auction moving to immediately after Sunday’s banquet, eight hours of TCOLE-certified training, human-trafficking instruction, artificial intelligence in law enforcement, legislative updates, and family events. The goal is to create a true Texas law-enforcement family reunion built around training, fellowship, and stronger relationships.

• Fort Worth Officer Under Fire — Fort Worth Police Sergeant Sarah Stogner became the latest Texas officer placed at the center of a viral social-media controversy. While the department acknowledged that officers incorrectly explained certain First Amendment protections and announced additional training, TMPA rejects the online mob mentality that turns every mistake into accusations of corruption or incompetence. Officers should be held accountable when appropriate, but they should also be allowed to learn, improve, and move forward without becoming social-media punching bags for activists seeking clicks and outrage.
