One Texas beach is off limits to travel to for Spring Break this week.
On Monday, Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño ordered the temporary closure of Boca Chica beach and State Highway 4 due to anticipated testing activities for SpaceX.
According to the order, the beach will be closed Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 8 p.m. and Friday from 7 a.m. to noon. The judge said the closure is for the purpose of protecting public and health safety during Space X s non-flight testing activities.
Law enforcement and SpaceX authorities will be coordinating to ensure that no individuals or vehicles are allowed access to those areas during the time the closures take place, the order stated.

For a store that only opened three months ago, Spare Parts is already proving its concept is working.
San Antonio s first sustainable art store has diverted nearly 4,500 pounds of donated materials from landfills, according to the executive director for Spare Parts, Mary Elizabeth Cantu.
In January, Spare Parts weighed a total of 2,764 pounds of donated materials from the community. That is more than a weight of a Toyota Yaris, Cantu compared. In February, it totaled 1,705 pounds, which is more than 205 gallons of water, she noted.
