HOUSTON (Staff/AP) — The memorial for former Texas Governor and Henderson native Mark White has been scheduled. The family says a service will be held Wednesday morning at 11:00 at Second Baptist Church in Houston, with burial planned Thursday afternoon at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin. White, a Democrat who championed public education reforms that included the landmark “no-pass, no-play” policy for high school athletes during his single term in office, died Saturday at 77. White was governor from 1983 until 1987.
