Allegations of abuse in taxpayer-funded facilities have raised concerns, prompting Rodriguez and state lawmakers to push for legislative action. Previous attempts to pass bills addressing the issue failed. Investigations in Florida revealed severe abuses linked to the handling of UACs, underscoring the need for better oversight. Rodriguez emphasizes that Texas, housing the most UACs, must act decisively to protect children and improve community safety. </p><p>The post Texas advocate calls on state to protect unaccompanied minors, Texas children | Texas appeared first on www.thecentersquare.com</p><p>Post Views: 66</p><h2>HPD: Two people shot in northeast Houston when an argument escalated</h2><p>By</p><p>www.youtube.com – KHOU 11 – 2024-09-29 07:11:29</p><p>SUMMARY: In northeast Houston, two people were shot following an argument that escalated into gunfire on Valley Club Drive near Tidwell Road.
