The wait is almost over—Cowboys & Cadillacs will officially soft open on February 11, bringing a unique three-story bar experience to downtown New Braunfels.

A blend of Texas grit and upscale luxury, this 21+ bar and lounge takes inspiration from Yellowstone, combining rustic elegance with chandeliers, top-shelf drinks, and rooftop downtown views.

H-E-B RESPONDS TO NATIONAL EGG SHORTAGE

Grocery Giant Works to Maintain Supply and Keep Prices Affordable

A nationwide egg shortage is affecting retailers due to an outbreak of avian influenza among chickens, but H-E-B is reassuring customers that it remains well-stocked.

While some stores across the country are struggling to keep eggs on shelves, the San Antonio-based grocer told MySA News that it is working closely with suppliers to minimize price increases and ensure continued availability.

“H-E-B is committed to providing our customers with safe, high-quality products, and we will continue to monitor this issue,” the company said in a statement.

While shoppers may notice some fluctuations in pricing, H-E-B is working to limit disruptions as much as possible.

CITY OF NEW BRAUNFELS WANTS YOUR INPUT ON DOWNTOWN ZONING UPDATES

Survey Open for Residents, Business Owners, and Stakeholders

The City of New Braunfels is seeking community input on potential updates to downtown zoning standards through the Downtown New Braunfels Form-Based Code Stakeholder and Preference Surveys. These updates could have a major impact on future development, aiming to preserve the area’s historic charm while improving walkability and public spaces.

Unlike traditional zoning, form-based codes focus on how buildings interact with public spaces—enhancing sidewalks, plazas, and streetscapes while ensuring that new developments complement downtown’s character.

Community members can weigh in on these changes by taking the survey at www.newbraunfels.gov/ldo.
