Happy Tuesday, Round Rock! Here's what's happening today in town. First, today's weather: Partly sunny. High: 69 Low: 43. Here are the top three stories in Round Rock today: A series of newly-released documents have revealed details of family violence allegations against Hafedh Azaiez, Superintendent of the Round Rock Independent School District. A woman who identified herself as the superintendent's former girlfriend had applied for a protective order against him. She claimed that when she told Azaiez she was pregnant with his child, he demanded that she get an abortion; when she refused, he allegedly assaulted her in her home.

(Round Rock Patch)Looking for a healthy alternative to that mid-week glass (or three) of wine? Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is "Drink like there's tomorrow.") Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks. Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We've tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start. Betera has extended their 15% discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.
