Good Morning! On this day in 1991, the Texas Supreme Court ruled in Edgewood ISD v. Kirby that the state's new school finance system was unconstitutional. The court's decision, along with another issued exactly one year later, led to the creation of a system to "recapture" property tax revenue from wealthy districts and redistribute it to poor districts—a process referred to as the Robin Hood plan.

Gov. Abbott has activated the state's emergency response resources ahead of this weekend's winter storm.

Today's sponsor, TriAgenics, is developing a painless, 90-second way to prevent wisdom teeth from ever forming in kids ages 6–12—an innovation early investors can get in on now with up to a 10% bonus stock before Feb. 3.

Abbott Demands Cancellation of Islamic Games

Grapevine-Colleyville ISD and Cy-Fair ISD have been pressured to cancel plans to host the annual Islamic Games, "the premier Muslim sports and athletic event in North America," due to its alleged association with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which Gov. Greg Abbott has designated a foreign terrorist organization.

GCISD confirmed Tuesday that it is "severing the negotiations" with the Islamic Games for the use of its district facilities in May after Keller Mayor Armin Mizani and several state representatives denounced the event, which had been held at a local high school the past two years.

Yesterday, Abbott ordered Cy-Fair ISD to preserve correspondence with organizers of the Islamic Games for an event in October, threatening seizure of such records by the Texas Education Agency if administrators did not confirm that "any negotiations or agreements for this event have been terminated."

"Radical Islamic extremism is not welcome in Texas—and certainly not in our schools," Abbott wrote. CAIR has disputed allegations that it sponsors the Islamic Games, explaining that one of its chapters was inadvertently included in a list of supporters because it provided drawstring bags for a 2023 event in New Jersey.

Tesla's Lithium Refinery Up and Running

Tesla's new lithium refinery in Robstown began operations last week, according to a Jan. 14 X post by CEO Elon Musk, who hailed it as the "largest Lithium refinery in America." The company broke ground on the 1,200-acre site in May 2023.

The refinery, which is expected to create up to 250 full-time jobs, is the "first industrial deployment of an acid-free lithium refining route," converting spodumene ore directly into battery-grade lithium hydroxide. Here's a video about the plant.

"We're deploying a new technology platform that is inherently much more environmentally friendly and cleaner," said site manager Jason Bevan. "It's a simpler process, it's a less expensive process."

Tesla boasted that the project "ushers in energy independence for North America." China refines the majority of the world's commercial lithium, sourcing much of it from countries that rely on child labor.

Texas Home Values Fell 2.45% Last Year

Texas home values dropped by 2.45% in 2025, according to Zillow, marking the largest single-year decrease since 2011. At the end of last year, the typical home was worth $294,443.81.

Redfin reported similar findings. Last month's median sale price of $340,800 is 2.6% lower than a year prior. At the same time, however, the number of homes sold was up 1.9% year-over-year, and the number of homes for sale was up 4.8%.

The state's highest home values are in Kendall County, where the typical home is worth about $582,124. While home values declined in most Texas counties, they increased in 67, including Cottle County, where prices rose by 32.57%. Cochran County's 30.19% decrease was the largest in the state.

According to the Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center, 2026 home sales are projected to total 349,000—an increase of 2.5%—while the median home price is expected to increase 1.3%.

This Painful Thing Still Happens 10M Times a Year?

5M people have their wisdom teeth painfully yanked every year.

These surgeries cost ~$5B combined, take months to fully heal, and often carry painful complications. So imagine how valuable a company that invented a painless, 90-second alternative would be.

That's TriAgenics' story. Their proactive approach stops wisdom teeth from ever forming in children aged 6-12. It's designed to be non-invasive, allowing children to eat, play, or return to school immediately afterwards.

Parents say goodbye to missed responsibilities and prolonged recoveries. Dentists say hello to revenue previously lost to outsourced extractions. And early-stage investors can share in the growth at a critical stage, before FDA clearance.

By 2030, TriAgenics aims to make this treatment the new standard of care. Get up to 10% bonus stock as a TriAgenics investor before Feb. 3.
