Texas towns ease sex offender residency rules amid legal pushback
More than 20 Texas towns have relaxed residency restrictions on sex offenders after a broad legal challenge. Texas Voices for Reason and Justice has sued 14 towns and sent letters to about 45 others, arguing case by case assessments are needed to judge threat levels. The group, allied with the attorney general, contends general law towns cannot enact new limits without explicit legislative authorization.

Nuts can boost flavor and nutrition when used in meals and snacks but choices matter. Raw and unsalted varieties are best, dry roasted or lightly salted if needed, and avoid added sugars, excess salt, and coated nuts. Including a few servings weekly supports cardiovascular health without weight gain.
