Comments Off on Attn: Plumbers-Gov. Abbott has heard your calls!
In regards to the upcoming changes with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, Gov. Abbott has been listening and he has promised to to take action as he says, “Don’t worry.” This comes at the tail end of many Texas Plumbers who are fighting the closure of the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. The thought of any untrained person being able to call themselves a plumber and legally work without a license in the state of Texas is not sitting well with the more than 73,000 people who have already signed a petition against this change. It is also expected that a large group rally at the Texas State Capital in the upcoming week, on June 14th at 11 AM CDT.

Comments Off on It’s Almost The End Of Summer
The end of summer is almost here and that means millions of Texas children will soon return to school. TxDOT reminds drivers to always stop for flashing red lights on a school bus. Be safe, drive smart.
Last year, 663 vehicle crashes occurred in school zones in Texas, resulting in zero deaths and 21 serious injuries. August and September of 2014 alone saw 107 crashes in school zones. The most common factors contributing to these crashes were driver inattention, failure to control speed and failure to yield the right of way at stop signs.
Following these simple tips can help Texas children reach school safely and help drivers avoid costly fines and tickets.
Tips for Driving in School Zones
- Put away your cell phone. Cell phone use is banned in active school zones, and violators face fines of up to $200 in school zones where signs are posted.
- Always obey school zone speed limit signs. Remember, traffic fines usually double in school zones.
- Drop off and pick up your children in your school’s designated areas, not the middle of the street.
- Keep an eye on children gathered at bus stops.
- Be alert for children who might dart across the street or between vehicles on their way to school.
Tips for Children Walking or Biking to School
- Always cross at intersections and designated crosswalks. Look left, right and then left again before proceeding.
- Look for traffic when stepping off a bus or from behind parked cars.
- Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street.
- Always obey crossing guards.
- Always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle.
