Correction, Dec. 14, 2022 10:36 am: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated how much Victor Wilson spent to apply for a U.S. visa. He spent $150 to apply, not $650. The previous version also incorrectly stated that Border Patrol released 398 migrants per day in El Paso between Friday and Sunday — the correct number is 328 per day — and that El Paso has spent $9.2 million to assist migrants this year; the city has spent $9.5 million so far this year. The story also incorrectly identified the city where Wilson's relatives live in Florida. They live in Marathon, not Miami.
In El Paso, migrants are sleeping on the streets after thousands crossed the border last weekend
Correction, Nov. 7, 2022 5:15 pm: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the Texas House first took a full vote on Medicaid expansion in the 2021 legislative session. In fact, the House also voted on budget amendments to expand Medicaid in 2017 and 2019.
Why Texas Republicans still oppose Medicaid expansion
Correction, Nov. 3, 2022 4:02 pm: A previous version of this story included incorrect details of a request to check the classroom of teacher Eva Mireles early in the police response. The request was to check Mireles' room, 112, not the adjoining 111. It was made by an unidentified male official, not a dispatcher. And class was reported to be in session by a school district police officer, not a Uvalde officer. That same officer, not a dispatcher, also wrongly reported over the radio at 11:50 a.m. that the school chief was "in the room with the shooter."

Correction, Oct. 31, 2022 11:55 am: A previous version of this story misidentified the overall turnout rate for the 2018 election in Texas. It was 53%, not 46%. This story also incorrectly said Travis County is increasing the number of machines at the University of Texas at Austin's main polling location to 12. The correct number is 15.
College voters held back by Texas election law, lack of on-campus polling sites
Correction, Oct. 20, 2022 12:05 pm: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that about 11% of all money Abbott raised while running for governor — or 1 out of every $11 — has come from people Abbott appointed to serve on university system boards or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Ten percent of all money raised — or 1 out of every $10 — came from a regent or coordinating board member.
Two-thirds of board members overseeing Texas public universities are Abbott donors. They’re not shy about wielding influence.
