Should Texas Parents Have to Take a Class If Their Kids Misbehave in School?
When your kid acts up in school, a detention as a punishment usually comes to mind. Imagine if parents also got punished as well?. Educators are coming up with new ways to enforce punishments in their school systems and one ISD here in Texas is considering implementing a new policy that will obviously affect misbehaving students. The parents will also be affected as well. Now, many argue an after school detention already affects parents since this delays them for picking their child up. Here is the proposed plan that could go into effect next year.
Metallica’s Five Best Country Songs

Why Don’t Some Texas Roadhouse Locations Have Peanuts?
Have you noticed a lack of crunchy peanut shells under your feet when you stroll through some Texas Roadhouse locations?. Munching on peanuts and casually tossing the shells to the floor has become a thing of the past in many restaurants across the United States. Some blame stricter safety regulations put in place during the pandemic. Still, there may be another reason you no longer find peanuts in their restaurants.
What Critics Are Saying About Ghost’s New ‘Rite Here Rite Now’ Film
The first reviews have started coming in on Ghost's ambitious new film Rite Here Rite Now, so what are the the critics saying?. Back in May, Ghost revealed that Rite Here Rite Now would be the name of their new film and that it would receive a worldwide theatrical release for two days only. The band recorded a pair of Los Angeles shows last fall to provide the concert portion of the movie, but much like Metallica's Through the Never movie, the concert is only part of the film with an actual narrative element surrounding the performance.

Visit One Of These Old West Ghost Towns In Texas This Summer
If you'd like to see a little Texas history, and maybe a ghost or two, check out these four old west-type attractions. The Grove was established in 1859 and named after a grove of oak trees. This was apparently one of those "Town For Sale" type situations. The place was set to host a museum, live music, and events, and all of a sudden it didn't (or they keep it on the down low). It looks like "old West" type facades and buildings were either put up or renovated. The town's official designation is that of a "Historical Museum" town, and based on available information it is for sale again.
New Updates and Shocking Footage of Blazing Ruidoso Wildfires

Why Texas Legends Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell Formed Damageplan
For my money, Pantera had established themselves as the world’s top metal band by the mid-90s. And just like that, they were gone. Sure, Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown have resurrected the band with two of the most capable replacements in Dime’s best bud, Zakk Wylde on guitar, and Anthrax’s Charlie Benante on drums. It’s great that a generation who never got to experience seeing Pantera live is getting the next best thing.
Devastating: A Look At Texas Hailstorms That Resulted In Death
I know I'm not the only person who gets nervous during a Texas hailstorm.

But has anyone ever actually died from hailstones themselves?. Yes, but...
These Popular Musicians Have Held Gigantic Concerts in Texas
What the “King of Country” Mr. George Strait was able to do this past weekend at Kyle Field at Texas A&M in College Station was unbelievable. We are talking about 110,905 fans who were all willing to deal with hot Texas heat in the middle of June to watch the greatest country singer of all time. Only the King could bring so many people together for a fun night of country music, but there have been other musicians who have been able to put on some huge concerts in Texas as well.
Is It Legal To Show My Insurance To Police On My Phone In Texas?
This was a question I had to find out for myself. I don't know about yours, but my insurance company no longer sends out the tear-out insurance cards automatically. This presents a bit of a problem when you need to show proof of insurance. The logical thing to do is to hit up your insurance company and request a copy, or at least an email and/or PDF file with your insurance information so you can print it out yourself.

These tiny little flies are driving me nuts. They're all over the building, and trying to swat them is nearly impossible. Have you ever tried to catch one in mid-air?

Was the Snakmaster the Best Kitchen Invention of All Time?
While I'd love to argue that the '80s and '90s were the golden age of TV sitcoms, it would be a disservice not to acknowledge that it was also the era when "As Seen on TV" infomercials truly revolutionized every aspect of our lives in every room of the house. Fixing things in the garage! Cleaning the bathroom! And perhaps most of all—mastering every task in the kitchen.
