Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, July 27, 2025. We wake up today to clear skies and a gentle breeze, with temperatures hovering in the mid-70s. By early afternoon, we expect to climb into the upper 90s, so make sure to hydrate and plan indoor activities for the hottest part of the day. A light rain could drift through the Franklin Mountains after six, but most city events look safe from disruptions.
Turning to breaking news that’s been the talk of east El Paso, detectives have arrested Hugo Vasquez of H&V Remodeling after multiple families reported paying for home renovation projects that were never completed. After a thorough investigation, police took Vasquez into custody on Montana Avenue Friday, charging him with theft and deceptive business practices. Sheriff Oscar Ugarte says the department is committed to protecting neighbors from scams like these. Vasquez’s bond is set at fourteen thousand dollars.
At City Hall, conversations about economic development are taking center stage, especially in our northeast neighborhoods. District 4 leadership is making job growth a top priority, and small business advocates are watching closely for new announcements. We’ve seen some positive rumblings, with at least a dozen new jobs posted last week near Transmountain Road and additional hiring reported at retail centers west of Sunland Park. On the real estate front, local agents note an uptick in homes listed under two hundred fifty thousand dollars—great news for first-time buyers and families on the move.
If you’re craving something different this weekend, the El Paso Zoo is hosting its Reptilia Celebration of Snakes today from ten to three. Families can learn about the importance of snakes in our ecosystem and see live demonstrations at the Wildlife Amphitheater. Admission remains under fifteen dollars, with discounts for seniors.
For the sports fans in our community, last night’s action in the Pacific Coast League brought excitement as the El Paso Chihuahuas faced off against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys. The Chihuahuas held strong despite seven strikeouts thrown by Space Cowboys pitcher Miguel Ullola. Ticket sales remain robust as the season heats up, and the next home series kicks off Tuesday at Southwest University Park.
Looking at community events for the coming days, tomorrow’s, Movies at the Park in District 5 drew a full crowd, so make sure to reserve spots early for next week’s showing in Album Park. Also, don’t miss Wednesday’s District 5 Community Meeting at the Upper Eastside Regional Command Center if you want to voice your concerns or share ideas for the neighborhood.
Turning to education, we salute Socorro ISD’s robotics team for their recent victory in a statewide competition. Their passion and teamwork make El Paso proud and show how our schools are leading the way in STEM.
Finally, a feel-good story out of the Franklin Mountains—biologists working with Texas Parks and Wildlife report the successful birth of several bighorn sheep lambs. After a challenging few years for the species, this signals real hope for the herd and the health of our West Texas wildlands.
