How to Find Sports, Obituaries, and Public Notices on Laredo Morning Times

Updated

Laredo Morning Times (lmtonline.com) organizes its coverage into labeled sections, so the fastest way to reach a specific content type is to use the section names listed on the site rather than scrolling the homepage. The visible section labels include Local, Sports, Border & Mexico, Special Sections, Obituaries, ¿Qué Pasa?, Public Notices, and Puzzles. If you want sports scores or a death notice, go straight to those labels; if you want the day's general news, start with Local or the headline list under "More News."

How to locate a specific item

  1. Pick the matching section label from the list above instead of browsing the full homepage. For a death notice, use Obituaries; for a game recap, use Sports; for an official filing, use Public Notices.
  2. Scan the headline list. The homepage surfaces recent headlines, and a "More News" link leads to additional stories beyond the first few. Use it when the item you want isn't in the initial view.
  3. Check "In case you missed it" for older items that have rotated off the top of the page. This block is where recent-but-not-newest stories reappear.
  4. Use the headline itself as the identifier. Headlines are specific enough to confirm you've found the right story — for example, a public health certification item, a tax lien abstract roundup, or a lane closure notice on Zapata Highway.

What the current headlines show about coverage

The homepage mixes several content types at once, which is why section navigation matters more than scrolling:

  • Local government and public health: Nine Laredo Public Health employees earning a national disease intervention certification; a Flock funding vote that could go before residents.
  • Courts and records: Abstracts of judgment and state/federal tax liens; a vehicle title scheme case involving a former Webb County tax office employee.
  • Border and regional politics: Cuellar and Zaffirini calling for an investigation after an ICE shooting in Austin.
  • Community and events: Anthony's Block Party for overdose awareness; five things to do in Laredo, from chess to cinema to comedy.
  • Service journalism: A lane closure on Zapata Highway continuing through mid-October; a hazmat incident closing northbound traffic on Spivey Drive.

Common snags

  • Obituaries and Public Notices are separate from news. Don't expect them to appear in the main Local feed — go to the labeled section.
  • "More News" is not a section. It's an expansion of the current headline list, so it won't take you to Sports or Obituaries specifically.
  • Some items are time-sensitive. Lane closures, votes, and event listings change; verify the date in the headline before acting on it.

If you only remember one thing: match your target content to its section label first, then use "More News" or "In case you missed it" only when the item isn't in the first screen of headlines.
