Everything Costs: Would Texans Tolerate Bag Or To-Go Container Fees?
A TikTok video recently went viral of a woman complaining about a 10-cent bag fee on her Chic-fil-A order. She was outraged and threatened Chic-fil-a: "Count your days." However, it wasn't Chic-fil-a's fault she got the bag upcharge, it's local law in her town. It went into effect this past January but I suppose this is the first time she noticed.

WATCH: Granny Warns Texas Drivers About Scammy Panhandler
Do you give money to panhandlers when you're waiting in traffic?. I do sometimes, especially when temperatures are extreme. I can't help it.

The Texas Sex Offender Registration Program, organized by the Texas Department of Transportation, is a way to find sex offenders near you. The Texas Sex Offender Registration Program (Chapter 62 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) is a sex offender registration and public notification law designed to protect the public from sex offenders.

It's back to school season and while some Texas students will be attending classrooms built in brand new schools, other students will be learning in buildings that are older.
