SUMMARY: Texas officials urged coastal residents to prepare for Hurricane Beryl, expected to hit the Texas coast as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday.

Dan Patrick issued a preemptive disaster declaration for 121 counties. Voluntary evacuations and preparations are underway in coastal cities, with officials emphasizing safety over holiday plans.

The ongoing conflict involves repeated hostilities between Israel and Hamas. (July 6, 2024, Associated Press)

SUMMARY: Dog owners frequently encounter signs prohibiting dogs from peeing on specific lawns, leaving them in a bind, especially in urban areas. While cleaning dog poop is legally enforced in many places with pooper-scooper laws, regulations on dog pee are ambiguous.

Homeowners concerned about grass damage from urine might pursue civil trespassing claims, but usually only receive minimal compensation. Criminal charges are unlikely unless significant damage occurs. Ultimately, a balance of consideration and understanding is essential between dog owners and property owners.
