My Five Cents: A Monthly Column from Senator Robert Nichols

As we start the Thanksgiving week, I want to take a moment to wish everyone a safe and joyful holiday. This season is a welcome chance to pause, gather with loved ones, and reflect on the many blessings we share.

Here are five things happening around your state: 

  1. East Texas groundwater battle continues

Over the past several months, East Texas has been home to a closely watched legal dispute involving applications for high-capacity groundwater wells in the Neches and Trinity Valleys Groundwater Conservation District (NTVGCD). These applications raised concerns about potential impacts to the Carrizo–Wilcox Aquifer, an important water source for many East Texas communities. Earlier this fall, Wayne-Sanderson Farms LLC, which operates in the region, challenged the NTVGCD’s handling of the applications, and the parties reached a court-approved settlement that voids the district’s prior vote deeming the applications administratively complete and pauses the issuance of any large-volume permits until additional aquifer studies are completed. This month, the permit applicants sought to intervene and set aside that final judgment, but the judge denied the request. The applicants may still choose to appeal, but they have also filed a separate lawsuit in Cherokee County district court seeking to compel the NTVGCD to act on their pending permit applications. I will continue to closely monitor this issue and work to safeguard East Texas groundwater. 

  1. Texas A&M Forest Service awards grants to rural volunteer fire departments 

The Texas A&M Forest Service recently announced $164 million in new grants to rural volunteer fire departments through the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program. Created in 2001, this program helps departments purchase firefighting vehicles, rescue equipment, protective gear, dry-hydrant systems, and training they might not otherwise afford. It also supports recruitment efforts and provides emergency assistance following disasters. Eligible departments include recognized volunteer departments and part-paid departments with 20 or fewer paid staff. With demand for grants often exceeding available funding, this year’s allocation is especially significant. A total of 558 fire trucks and 321 slip-on units will be awarded statewide, giving rural departments the tools they need to respond quickly and safely during emergencies. I’m proud to support these first responders and our commitment to public safety in East Texas.

  1. GLO submits grant application for construction of the East Texas Veterans Cemetery 

This month, the Texas General Land Office submitted a federal grant application to construct the new East Texas Veterans Cemetery. This project would provide a burial option for the more than 32,000 veterans who call East Texas home. The cemetery is planned for a 64-acre site in Harrison County on land generously donated by Tyler resident Debra Christian. Texas currently operates state veterans cemeteries in Abilene, Corpus Christi, Killeen, Mission, and soon Lubbock, leaving much of East Texas without a nearby option. The initial cemetery plan includes burial plots, columbaria, a scattering garden, a committal shelter, and an administration and information center. Once the land donation is finalized, the state will select a contractor and submit a final bid package to the VA. If the project stays on schedule, construction could begin after federal approval.

  1. The Mid-America Baseball League welcomes two new East Texas teams 

The Mid-America League, a semi-professional baseball league, has added two new East Texas teams set to begin play in summer 2026: the Beaumont Oil Barons and the Nacogdoches Niners. Founded in 2024, the league features college players, undrafted athletes, and former professionals, with existing teams in Fort Smith, Joplin, Abilene, Texarkana, Sherman, and White Oak. Each team plays a 64-game season from May through August. The addition of these two East Texas franchises brings new summer recreation to our communities while also supporting local economic development and community pride. I look forward to cheering on the Oil Barons and the Niners as they bring new energy to our region’s sports lineup.

  1. TxDOT announces 25-year streak of daily road deaths

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced this month that Texas has now gone 25 years without a single day free of traffic fatalities. Since the last death-free day on November 7, 2000, more than 91,000 people have been killed on Texas roads. TxDOT urges drivers to help prevent these tragedies by keeping speeds reasonable, buckling up, planning ahead for a sober ride, avoiding distractions, and giving space to emergency or roadside crews by slowing down or changing lanes when safe. With the holidays approaching and more Texans traveling, it is especially important to stay alert and make safety a priority every time we get behind the wheel. Be careful out there.

Ten Cadets Receive Certifications in Ceremony

Ten future firefighters received their certifications and other honors during Friday’s ceremony recognizing the Angelina College Fire Academy’s Class 2025-64 graduates.

In the ceremony held inside AC’s Hudgins Hall, Cadet James Moore of Timpson, Texas, earned both Valedictorian and Most Outstanding Cadet honors, while Chief Debra Knight, State Fire Marshall, offered the keynote address.

“I’ve had the opportunity to see each of these young men grow and mature throughout the course of this academy,” Chief Jason Pope, Coordinator of the AC Fire Academy, said. “To say I’m proud of them is an understatement.

“It’s our mission to produce the best possible firefighters and continue to honor the traditions and professionalism associated with the fire service. With this group, I believe we’ve accomplished just that.”

Knight, a retired colonel who served as a combat medic in the U.S. Army before her appointment as State Fire Marshall, lauded the cadets on their achievements. 

“First, congratulations, because completing this program is no small feat,” Knight said. “It takes grit, perseverance, discipline and an unwavering commitment to serve others. You should be proud of what you’ve accomplished, and your families should feel proud of you as well.

“True strength doesn’t come knowing everything. It comes from humility, discipline and teamwork.”

Knight shared her experiences while reminding the new fire fighters to prepare for the unexpected; she spoke of the time her Army unit was called back to duty on the day they were supposed to return home.

“What I remember most isn’t the disappointment,” Knight said, “even though to this day I still feel that sinking feeling in my stomach, but mostly I remember how our team came together for each other.

“That’s what great teams do. They bend, but they don’t break. Emergencies will come when you least expect them, and emergencies don’t wait for convenience. There’ll be times when you think you’re done, but your training and discipline will carry you through.”

Moore, also a veteran, spoke of finding a “new purpose” over the course of the grueling 16-week academy.

“I don’t think I could have done this without my new brothers,” Moore said. “In this time, we’ve made lifelong memories and friends, and I look forward to working with you guys and getting after it.”

Graduating fire cadets, along with their hometowns of record, were as follows:

Carson W. Basham, Pollok, TX; Brandon M. Bostick, Huntington, TX; Cameron B. Buettner, Nacogdoches, TX; Jack T. Christensen, Nacogdoches, TX; Damian Diaz, Lufkin, TX; Kolton K. Karns, Douglass, TX; James M. Moore, Timpson, TX; Alex Padilla, Nacogdoches, TX; Riley L. Vanscoder, Nacogdoches, TX; and Chris A. Vasquez, Lufkin, TX. 

Instructors and staff for Class 25-63: Jason Pope, Chief Training Officer, Angelina College Fire Academy; Battalion Chief Shawn Dillon, Assistant Coordinator, Angelina College Fire Academy/Nacogdoches Fire Department; Adam Inman, Porter FD; Justin Guynes, Houston Fire Department; Jason Stuck, Lufkin Fire Department; Anthony Holcombe, Lufkin Fire Department; Mason King, Nacogdoches Fire Department; Kim Capps, Public Safety Specialist; and Ashley Jowell, Angelina College Police Department/Director of Public Safety Training Fire/Law Enforcement.

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has announced the appointment of Ronnie May as the new Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent for Newton County, strengthening the organization’s commitment to serving every corner of Texas with hands-on, research-based expertise.

A native of Dudley, May brings more than two decades of experience in conservation, land stewardship, and agricultural support. His career includes service with the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and most recently, 20 years with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.

May’s agricultural roots run deep. He grew up showing steers and swine through Clyde High School FFA and the Callahan County 4-H, earning a place on the State Dairy Foods Team. While earning his bachelor’s degree in animal science/pre-veterinary medicine at Abilene Christian University, he also competed on the Livestock Judging Team and Soils Team.

Those early experiences shaped a lifelong passion for helping landowners succeed.

“I’m passionate about agriculture and natural resources and want to help people be successful on their land,” May said.

As Newton County’s new agent, May will serve as AgriLife Extension’s primary connection to local residents, offering education, problem-solving, and support tailored to the unique needs of Southeast Texas landowners, ranchers, farmers, and timber producers.

His appointment is part of AgriLife Extension’s statewide effort to ensure that every Texas county – especially rural regions like the Texas Forest Country – has direct access to practical guidance rooted in sound science.

Texas Fire Departments Receive Donated Equipment, Rebuilding After Hill Country Flood

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – After devastating flooding that struck Central Texas this summer, three Texas volunteer fire departments received donations of essential emergency response equipment through Texas A&M Forest Service’s Helping Hands Program. 

This program facilitated the donation of equipment to help expand and restore the emergency response capabilities of Hunt, Mountain Home and Ingram volunteer fire departments, which experienced loss of equipment while responding to the flood.  

A fire engine was donated to Hunt Volunteer Fire Department by Jefferson County Emergency Services District Three. Hunt Volunteer Fire Department was an initial responder to the flooding and served as a central hub for volunteers and equipment throughout the response. During the flood, they lost two trucks. 

A fire engine, 17 air packs and two rapid intervention team packs were donated to Mountain Home Volunteer Fire Department by Fulshear Volunteer Fire Department. A water rescue boat was donated to the department by a private donor in New Mexico. The donated fire engine replaces a fire engine that was lost during the flood. The rescue boat is an addition to the department and will increase the capacity of its swift water rescue team. 

Mountain Home Volunteer Fire Department was an initial responding agency to the flood, assisting in search and rescue operations. 

Personal protective equipment was donated to Ingram Volunteer Fire Department by Salado Volunteer Fire Department. The donated personal protective gear replaces their gear lost in the flood. Ingram Volunteer Fire Department was also an initial responding department to the flood, assisting in search and rescue operations. 

The donated equipment was presented to the volunteer fire departments Nov. 12. 

The Helping Hands program helps connect volunteer fire departments in need of equipment with equipment donated by other fire departments.  

This program is one of the agency’s several volunteer fire department assistant programs, which serve to strengthen local response capabilities and keep Texans safe. 

“Our mission is to give fire departments every possible advantage so they can protect lives and property,” said Jason Keiningham, Texas A&M Forest Service Capacity Building Department Head. “These departments are the backbone of their communities; they show up for people on what is often the worst day of their lives. By providing equipment and support we are helping to ensure they have the tools they need to do their job safely.”

Kids Talk About God by Carey Kinsolving and Friends

How Do You Know If You’re Going To Heaven?

“My grandma thinks I’m going to heaven,” says Kole, 6.

Why is it that most grandchildren can’t get enough of their grandparents?

Most grandparents are smart enough to just love on their grandkids. They leave the hard stuff like correction and discipline for the parents.

Kids instinctively sense when someone loves them. They know their grandparents think they’re very special, and they love it. If grandparents possessed the key to heaven, all their grandkids would have their tickets punched for heaven.

“You have to be good,” says Carly, 6.

That’s exactly the problem, Carly. Do you know anyone who is good always? If no one is good all the time, how good do you have to be to walk through the pearly gates? Many people think God grades on the curve. If I’ve been better than most people, God will roll out the golden carpet to welcome me into heaven, right? WRONG!

God doesn’t grade on the curve. When we compare ourselves to other people, we’re looking at the wrong standard for entering heaven. We need to look at God instead of people. God is good all the time because goodness is his nature.

“I know I am going to heaven because I believe that Jesus died on the cross to take away my sins,” says Reecie, 7. “I know that this is the way to get to heaven because God said so, and God is truthful” (John 3:16).

Reecie is not trusting in her own efforts to be good. She knows that she could never earn the kind of goodness that God requires to live with him forever. The Lord Jesus Christ is God’s standard for goodness and heaven. Out of all the billions of people who have been born, only he was good all the time.

As God’s only son, Jesus came from heaven in order to make the way to heaven available for all. Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

Amazingly, Jesus Christ offers eternal life as a free gift to all who will simply trust him and him alone as their only way to heaven. In spite of the fact that Jesus said, “It is finished,” as he hung on the cross, many people still think Jesus needs help in being the savior of the world.

You can’t be truly confident or powerful unless you know with certainty that you have eternal life. Death is the biggest problem everyone faces. Jesus conquered death when he rose from the grave after three days. True liberation and power comes from knowing you are God’s child forever. No one including you can undo a spiritual birth any more than one can undo a physical birth.

When you’re born again spiritually into God’s family, you belong to him forever. God wants to bless all his children. Like any good father, he disciplines his children (Hebrews 12:6). However, he never disowns them. That can’t happen because God promised eternal life to all who accept the Lord Jesus as their savior.

No sin or failure is greater than Christ’s sacrifice for sin. Wow!

Think about this: The very nature of the life that God gives when anyone trusts the Lord Jesus as his or her savior is “eternal.”

Memorize this truth: “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:28).

Ask this question: How can you lose something that lasts forever?

Capitol Update: Honoring Thanksgiving While Strengthening Texas Defenses

By
Rep. Trent Ashby
-

As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, I’m reminded of the importance of gratitude. Gathering around the table with friends and family serves as a perfect opportunity for us to recenter our lives in the present and acknowledge the countless blessings God has given us. A mindset of thankfulness helps us see what is there instead of what is not. As we celebrate Thanksgiving with our loved ones this year, let us be mindful of God’s grace and favor in our lives and the importance of having a heart of gratitude that recognizes the good no matter the circumstances.   

With that, here’s an update from your State Capitol… 

Capitol Update

This past week, Governor Abbott formally designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. This decision underscores a broader concern shared by state and federal officials about the actions of foreign-affiliated groups whose conduct has raised serious security implications for our country and our state.

Texas has always opened its doors to those who come here legally, contribute to their communities, and respect our laws. That openness, however, has never diminished our responsibility to confront organizations—regardless of their origin or ideology—whose activities threaten public safety or undermine the stability of our institutions. Protecting Texans requires clarity, vigilance, and a willingness to act when credible threats emerge.

During the most recent Legislative Session, my colleagues and I took meaningful steps to strengthen Texas’s defenses against hostile foreign influence. I was proud to coauthor Senate Bill 17, landmark legislation that prevents hostile foreign entities from acquiring strategic land and natural resources in Texas. This law ensures that the assets essential to our state’s security, economy, and way of life remain firmly in the hands of those who share our commitment to Texas’s future.

As we look ahead, I will continue working closely with Governor Abbott, state agencies, and law enforcement to ensure Texas remains prepared and protected. This includes securing our border, ensuring no state dollars flow to extremist or unlawful organizations, and supporting the men and women who work every day to keep our communities safe. Texans expect decisive leadership on matters of security—and I intend to provide it.

My foremost responsibility is, and always will be, the safety and well-being of the people I represent. As long as I have the privilege of serving as your voice in Austin, I will remain steadfast in protecting our state, defending our values, and holding accountable anyone whose actions jeopardize the peace and security that Texans deserve.

The mobile office is taking a break from the road in December but will be back after the Christmas holiday. As always, please do not hesitate to contact my office if we can help you in any way. My district office may be reached at (936) 634-2762, and our Capitol office at (512) 463-0508. Additionally, I welcome you to follow along on my Official Facebook Page, where I will post regular updates on what’s happening in your State Capitol and share information that could be useful to you and your family: https://www.facebook.com/RepTrentAshby/.

Black Friday Ideas for Those with Green Thumbs… or for Those Who Want a Green Thumb

The holidays are upon us. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and as soon as I’ve digested all that food, our house starts getting ready for Christmas.

And about the time all the food has settled, Black Friday rolls around and we start shopping in earnest for the next holiday. While the rest of the world stampedes toward televisions, air fryers, and gadgets they’ll forget they bought by February, gardeners walk past the electronics aisle and head straight for the tools, the potting soil, and that shiny new pruner we’ve been eyeing since last spring.

If you’re a gardener—or you’re shopping for one—here’s a no-nonsense guide to what’s worth grabbing this season… and what’s better left on the shelf.

Start with quality hand tools, the top seller for gardeners every holiday season. Hand pruners, loppers, soil knives, and trowels all go on sale, and good ones are worth every penny.

Skip the bargain-bin, cheap-plastic, flashy-colored multi-tools. Buy the real tools—the ones that won’t snap the first time you meet a stubborn root.

Up next are battery-powered lawn tools. The garden industry is pushing battery equipment hard—and for good reason: no gas cans, no choke, no yanking a pull cord until your shoulder pops.

I used to be against them, thinking they were cheap and wouldn’t work well. Yet I have no problem using my cordless drill, impact driver, circular saw, and other battery-powered tools in my shop. Why not in the yard?

Black Friday discounts on battery blowers, trimmers, and pole saws are some of the deepest of the year. If you’ve been thinking about switching platforms, now is the time. Just remember: buying into a battery system is a bit like getting married—pick wisely, because you’re building a future together.

Also consider indoor growing supplies. With winter coming, this is the time of year when you can actually find deals. By February, everyone is planning their spring garden and prices go right back up. What’s worth grabbing on sale? Seed-starting trays, heat mats, LED grow lights, and potting mixes for indoor plants.

The backyard birding category quietly explodes every November. Feeders, suet, and bird seed all go on sale, and it’s one of the few things gardeners actually need every year.

It’s also the perfect gift because every gardener loves birds. And every squirrel loves to ruin bird feeders. So… replacements are always welcome.

Next up: soil, mulch, and compost. Bagged soil mixes and mulch often go on unadvertised clearance. Retailers know most folks aren’t gardening in November, so this is when they move stock. If you see raised bed mix, potting soil, or compost marked down… grab it.

What not to buy? A “Holiday Garden Kit” with flimsy tools. If it’s wrapped in plastic with a bow already attached, walk away.

Also avoid the discounted bulbs that should have been planted a couple of months ago. While you can still plant bulbs now, those bargain bags in the store are tired and dried up. Better to buy high-quality bulbs earlier in the season. Better yet, dig up and divide your fresh, spring-blooming bulbs to expand your beds or share with friends.

Gardeners don’t need flashy gadgets—we need tools that work, soil that’s good, and things that help us keep plants alive (or at least give them a fighting chance). Black Friday can actually be a great time to stock up… as long as you know what’s worth buying.

And if you do find yourself wandering into the electronics aisle, just remember that the 85-inch TV won’t prune your roses, aerate your lawn, or start your spring tomatoes any earlier.
