Property Bill Fails To Pass House Blamed On Bank Lobbyists
The Texas House refused to pass a sweeping unclaimed property bill amid a deadlock with the Senate over tax measures. Bank lobbyists faced criticism from Gov. Price Daniel as the move to seize property of missing persons stalled 66 to 66, blocking an estimated 25 million dollars for the state’s general fund. The item, tied to a broader tax package, faced disputes on fund sources and enforcement mechanisms in both chambers.

Man Hut: A Backyard Shelter to Free Fathers from the Rut
An essay argues Fathers deserve a personal retreat, a 10 by 6 foot cedar shanty or cabin in the yard. It praises a space with no lawn care, no draperies, and room for hobbies, plus a stream if possible. The piece contrasts male escape with domestic pressure and urges gifting land and shack for relaxation and vigor.
