Welcome Back to Cypress Digest! Your Weekly Guide to Community News & Events in Cypress, TX.

The stores are devoid of bread, eggs, and milk… so either there’s strong demand for French toast, or there’s a storm on the horizon.

This Week in CFISD: Tensions run high between the Governor and CFISD 😳

  • If you think you’re having a bad week, at least you didn’t get called out in a very public (and slightly petty) press release by the Governor of Texas out of the blue. [See CFISD’s response to the release here.]

  • From earlier this week: At its Jan. 15 meeting, the Cy-Fair ISD board of trustees chose not to move forward (at least for now) with a proposed policy change that would have narrowed who can request a reconsideration of instructional materials after they’ve already been adopted by the district. The vote wasn’t about approving or rejecting the policy itself. Instead, trustees voted 4–3 to indefinitely table it, essentially pressing pause on the discussion. That pause is where the tension lives. Read More Here.

Reads from Tuesday:

  • The 2025 Results Are in, and The 2026 Housing Market Looks Promising: If you’ve been waiting for a headline that doesn’t scream boom or bust, Houston quietly delivered one in 2025. While many major U.S. metros are still wrestling with volatility, stalled demand, or affordability crunches, Houston did something rare: it returned to balance. [Read The Forecast Here].
