The piece notes the US Postal Service rate hikes and Texas early mail system costs from 1836 to 1847, with private contractors replacing wagons, plus a comparison to 1997. It cites Waco Dr Pepper consumption, and a Sam Houston State study estimating 17,000 San Antonio gang members, with detail on ethnic makeup. It ends with a Goliad flag pride note and historical banners.
