SUMMARY: Wedding season brings a rise in photographer scams, warns Leah Napoleello, VP of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Greater Houston. Scammers often take money then disappear or fail to deliver photos. Red flags include refusal to meet in person or via video, communication solely through social media, lack of a professional website, and limited online presence. To avoid fraud, research photographers on BBB.org, check reviews, consult friends and family, and look for affiliations with trade organizations. Always get a written contract, pay by credit card to enable disputes, and report scams to BBB to protect others.

SUMMARY: Austinite Aaron Ali, CEO of Med to Market and chair of the state anatomical advisory committee, faces charges of aggravated perjury and abuse of corpse. Ali allegedly supplied body parts to Capitol Mortuary Services, where employee Adeline Buouie forged death certificates and experimented on bodies. The investigation, sparked by a complaint, revealed Buouie’s involvement in illegal activities, including experimenting on 15 bodies with permission from Med to Market. Ali is accused of providing unapproved arms for testing and lying under oath during a Senate committee hearing. Ali’s lawyer denies the charges, claiming law enforcement relied on incorrect information.

Children born in the U.S. deported from Louisiana with their parents | FOX 7 Austin

SUMMARY: Three U.S. citizen children were deported from Louisiana to Honduras with their mother after ICE detained the family. A U.S. District judge criticized the lack of a meaningful process, as the family was deprived of communication for three days, preventing them from pursuing legal options. The deportation of the 2-year-old U.S. citizen was deemed unlawful, as ICE has no authority to deport U.S. citizens. The Honduran government has offered support to the mother, and a hearing is scheduled for May 17 to investigate the case further. A second Honduran mother was also deported with her two U.S. citizen children.

Texas bill aims to increase protection for police

Published

SUMMARY: Texas House lawmakers gave initial approval to House Bill 2436, which would exempt police officers from being charged with deadly conduct for actions taken in the line of duty. The bill, supported by Republican Representative Cole Hefner, aims to clarify that the offense, originally meant to address gang violence, should not apply to officers performing lawful duties. Critics argue it may encourage reckless behavior by police. However, supporters assure the bill doesn’t grant immunity, emphasizing officers will still be held accountable under other legal provisions. The bill advanced with an amendment requiring officers to reasonably believe their actions were necessary.
