(Louis DeLuca/Staff Photographer) Dallas Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott's suspension could go into effect as court rules in favor of NFL The 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans has [ruled to vacate Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott's preliminary injunction](. The court ruling came out Thursday afternoon, following arguments in New Orleans on Monday, Oct. 2. The vacated ruling means Elliott's suspension could go into effect immediately, though Elliott's team and the NFLPA will file for an injunction in the Southern District of New York in hopes the running back can keep playing.

Greg Abbott blamed Texas lawmakers for a disaster relief bill that omitted special Harvey aid, rattled members sought help from above: Speaker Paul Ryan. (Jay Janner/Austin American-Statesman; Gabriella Demczuk/The New York Times) Politics House passes $36.5B disaster relief bill that Greg Abbott blasted for lack of Harvey aid The House easily passed a [$36.5 billion emergency disaster relief bill on Thursday, but not before a flare-up between Gov. Greg Abbott]( and members of the Texas delegation that prompted House Speaker Paul Ryan to intervene. Six Texas Republicans voted against the measure, arguing it will add to the debt and fails to include needed changes to a beleaguered federal flood insurance program. On Wednesday, Abbott popped off at Texas lawmakers, accusing them of lacking a "stiff spine" in negotiations over the latest round of relief funding, which omitted his recent $18.7 billion request for Harvey-specific aid. At the Texans' request, Ryan, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Majority Whip Steve Scalise and Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry phoned the governor late Wednesday.

In the 2017 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, Dallas Animal Services impounded more than 5,000 more dogs from the field than the previous fiscal year. And the department did so without killing more animals. Adoptions for cats, dogs and other animals increased about 20 percent vs. the previous fiscal year. Euthanasia was down nearly 22 percent among all animals. The live-release rate rose to 73 percent from 61 percent year over year and hit 81.5 percent in September. The department also stepped up enforcement, increasing citations by 60 percent in fiscal 2017.

That's what AT&T expects As more customers cut their cable and turn to streaming services, [Dallas-based AT&T says it expects to lose about 390,000 traditional pay-TV subscribers this quarter](, according to financial documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That drop is roughly equivalent to every Arlington citizen cutting cable or satellite TV. It is a sharper decline than the 351,000 pay-TV subscribers AT&T lost in the second quarter. In the filing, however, the Dallas-based telecom company pointed to a silver lining. It said it's stemmed  losses with its own cable alternative: online streaming service, DirecTV Now. AT&T anticipates DirecTV Now will gain nearly 300,000 new customers during the third quarter, which would cut the company's video net losses to 90,000. AT&T attributed the decline in video subscriptions to increased competition from both traditional pay-TV providers and streaming services, hurricanes and its stricter credit standards, according to the SEC filing.
