Ty's Take
Two separate drug arrests in a week around Texas County reminds you that the problem isn't somewhere else anymore, if it ever was. Law enforcement out here stays busy enough with the usual run of things, but when you've got county and state patrol both making headlines on narcotics cases, it says something about what's moving through these roads and what's finding its way into our communities. Houston's a small enough town that you notice when the patrol car is parked outside certain places, and most folks around here know somebody touched by this stuff, whether they'll say it out loud or not. The work these officers do tracking this down matters more than people sometimes give credit for, but so does asking ourselves hard questions about what's driving it and what we're missing.
