A Texas apartment complex has recently sent a bill to a family of a woman who has recently passed away!  The bill from the apartment complex for $15,676 and a collections notice!  The Texas law states that family members can cancel a lease if a loved one passes away. However, this apartment complex doesn't believe this.

According to news4sanantonio.com, Sandra Bonilla, 91 and fore more than 10 years she lived at the Lodge at Shavano Park Apartments. At the time of her death, Bonilla had almost a year left on her two-year lease. Ultimately the family received a bill for $14,368 in "accelerated rent" and a $1,117 lease break fee. It even states the reason for her move-out as "deceased". Sounds pretty sketchy to me.  This is a developing story. Read more of the story by clicking here.

Get a Ticket Via Text Without a Traffic Stop in This Texas Town

Imagine getting a text that has a speeding ticket attached. This is something that has been happening for almost two years. A police department in the San Antonio area (WINDCREST)  was one of the first areas in the nation to try out this new program. Trusted Driver is a web-based program where drivers can avoid seeing a police officer face-to-face, and instead get a ticket via text message. The reason the program is being rolled out is brilliant.

 According to the President & CEO of the Trusted Driver Program, Val Garcia "If we minimize those interactions just for minor traffic violations, they have more time to dedicate to serious crime like DWIs that are on the road, reckless drivers, racing," as reported by KENS-TV   If this program was to come to our area, would you register? Would you take the time to register on your phone?

THEY CAN ALSO SEND YOU POSITIVE MESSAGES:

Through Trusted Driver, police are also able to send positive messages to drivers who are doing a stellar job obeying traffic laws. The program launched a couple of years ago  in Windcrest.  A rollout could be Nationwide soon.
