Texas coast braces for potential hit by Beryl, which is expected to regain hurricane strength – KXAN Austin
SUMMARY: Texas officials urged coastal residents to prepare for Hurricane Beryl, expected to hit the Texas coast as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday. Having already caused 11 deaths in the Caribbean and significant damage in Mexico, it may bring flooding, heavy rain, and strong winds to Texas. Lt. Gov. 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. Beryl, currently 385 miles southeast of Corpus Christi with 60 mph winds, continues a destructive path through the Gulf of Mexico.

Hamas Clears the Way for a Possible Cease-fire in Gaza After Dropping Key Demand, Officials Say
SUMMARY: Hamas has given initial approval to a U.S.-backed phased cease-fire proposal in Gaza, dropping its demand for an upfront commitment from Israel to end the war. This compromise could lead to the first pause in fighting since November and pave the way for further negotiations. Nonetheless, a final deal is still uncertain. Meanwhile, the Gaza Health Ministry reports that an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter killed at least 16 people and injured 50 others. The ongoing conflict involves repeated hostilities between Israel and Hamas. (July 6, 2024, Associated Press)

‘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.
