SUMMARY: West University Place’s “Darth Vader” home is listed for sale at $3.75 million amid a legal dispute. The City of West University Place sued DV1 LLC, represented by Brent Franklin, claiming events at the property violated zoning and parking regulations. Franklin, a self-styled “Real Million Dollar Closer,” advertised events on Instagram, allegedly charging $100 per ticket, which he later refuted as free parties. The city issued a cease and desist, but promotions continued. Additionally, DV1 LLC and Franklin faced a tax delinquency lawsuit in 2022, which was resolved in 2023 after the taxes were paid.

Turkey approves law to remove stray dogs from streets – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: Turkish legislators passed a controversial law to address the country's stray dog issue, which animal lovers fear will lead to mass euthanasia or overcrowded shelters, and could target political opposition. The bill mandates municipalities to collect, vaccinate, neuter, spay, and shelter stray dogs, euthanizing only those that are ill or dangerous. Protests erupted nationwide, including defiant messages in Istanbul and Ankara. Critics argue the law could dissuade tourism and suggest better implementation of previous regulations. The government denies the bill permits widespread culling. Turkey's main opposition party plans to challenge the law, citing moral and legal concerns.
