Large areas of Texas are coping with severe drought. In this Bobcat Update, Isamar Terrazas tells us what it would take to get out of these dry conditions.

Spring is normally a wet season for parts of Texas, but most of the state has so far seen little rainfall. The Lone Star State has been in a drought for almost four years. The 2013 Halloween flood helped a little, but its impact was brief.

The flood may have provided some relief from the drought for a couple of days, but so far this year Central Texas has only seen two-inches of rain. With hurricane season right around the corner, [TITLE FIRST NAME] Spencer says being hit by a major storm might be a good thing for Texas.

Stand-up: Grasses haven't turned green because the period from December through February is the 10th driest in the last 10 years, and March hasn't helped at all.
The City of San Marcos is currently under stage-two water restrictions, which means only scheduled watering is allowed. One positive result of the restrictions has been lower utility bills.

City officials recommend cutting water usage even more if it's possible. Forecasters are already predicting what the summer season has in store.

Fines for breaking the stage-two water restrictions in San Marcos range from 100 to two-thousand dollars. For Bobcat Update, I'm Isamar Terrazas.
