In October, 3.8 million Texans with student loans will be responsible for paying back their loans after a pause of more than three years spurred by the pandemic. More than a third of Texas borrowers who thought some or all of their student loans would be forgiven under a Biden administration plan had their hopes dashed last month when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the program was unconstitutional.

The Texas Tribune has been reporting on the Supreme Court's decision and other ways the Biden administration is seeking to provide relief to borrowers, including a new income-based repayment plan that would save borrowers a lot of money in interest. Now we want to hear from Texas borrowers about how they're preparing for the resumption of student loan payments.

‘No dog pee’ signs are everywhere. Can they be enforced?

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. Technically, allowing a dog to pee on private property is trespassing, but legal consequences are rare. 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.

Flies in Texas: Are there more right now and why?

Published

www.kxan.com – Russell Falcon – 2024-07-06 12:54:41

SUMMARY: In Texas, residents have observed an unusual rise in fly populations, particularly exacerbated in recent years. The phenomenon, discussed by Central Texans on Reddit, aligns with insights from Texas AgriLife Entomologist Wizzie Brown. She explains that the state's warm climate supports year-round fly activity, with heat accelerating their life cycle, leading to rapid population growth. Climate change is likely worsening the issue, as higher temperatures benefit flies and expand their habitable areas. To manage the infestation, Brown suggests regular trash removal, using outdoor garbage bins, and cleaning these bins with dish soap to eliminate fly-attracting odors.
