ACLU report cites Texas courts jailing poor over fines
The American Civil Liberties Union says many Texas municipal courts jail defendants who cannot pay traffic fines and ignore alternatives such as community service. It cites a federal suit against Santa Fe for a debtors' prison system and notes widespread reluctance to waive fines for poverty, with median community service options near zero.

Gardendale couple rescues dachshunds for 15 years at Promised Land sanctuary
Rick and Connie Eicher run a dachshund rescue from their Gardendale home, covering $2,000 monthly costs for food care and medical needs. After Rick lost his Baker Hughes welding job, donations sustain the effort. They hosted a four hour open house to boost adoptions, planning another in April, with 24 dogs at the sanctuary and reminders to adopt pets in pairs. Copies of The Promised Land Dachshund Sanctuary: A Story of Rescue and Redemptions are sold there.

Dovie housed them at Grace Fellowship Church in Monahans and later moved them to a Salvation Army shelter in Odessa in 1979.
