MacArthur High TB Exposure Prompts Targeted Student Testing

Dallas County and the Texas Department of State Health Services are investigating a possible tuberculosis exposure at MacArthur High School in Irving. As a precaution, TB testing is advised for returning 10th–12th graders who attended the school during the 2025–2026 year; 9th graders, new students, or those already tested are not required to retest. Officials say the overall risk to the public is low and emphasize that latent TB can cause no symptoms, but testing helps identify and treat any cases.

Irving mother sentenced to life without parole for capital murder of her children.

Madison McDonald, an Irving mother, was found guilty of capital murder in the deaths of her two daughters and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. McDonald had called the police in April 2021 and confessed to sedating and smothering her daughters, claiming they were being abused. The defense blamed mental illness for the children's deaths, and McDonald entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. The case involved accusations against the fathers of the girls and investigations by police and Child Protective Services.
