Peter and Julianna Hawn Holt, longtime couple behind the Spurs, finalize divorce

Peter M. Holt and Julianna Hawn Holt, who led the Spurs for a combined 23 years, are officially divorced. A judge Tuesday signed an agreed final decree of divorce in the case that began almost 4½ years ago. A state district court in San Antonio verbally granted the divorce in January after the Holts reached a mediated settlement agreement last year. They married in 1982. The divorce decree says the Holts entered into an “agreement incident to divorce,” commonly used in cases involving high-value marital estates to avoid public disclosure of how community assets are split up. The agreement was not filed with the court.

The News-UT Tyler poll, which surveyed 1,232 registered voters between May 2-10 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, found that 60 percent of respondents support legalizing marijuana for recreational use. Former El Paso Congressman Beto O’Rourke, Abbott’s rival in this November’s race for governor, supports the complete legalization of marijuana. Abbott won’t go that far, but he said he understands changes in marijuana laws are needed. “We don’t need to be stockpiling in our jails and prisons with people who are arrested for minor possession allegations,” Abbott said this week after a roundtable discussion with business leaders in North Richland Hills. “We would be keeping those jails for dangerous criminals who deserve to be behind bars.” The governor might be on solid ground with his GOP base. According to the poll, just 42 percent of Republicans support legalizing marijuana for recreational use, compared with a majority of Democrats and independents, 76 percent and 64 percent, respectively.
