Venezuelan gang members tied up Dallas woman during robbery, docs say
SUMMARY: Court documents reveal that five men arrested for beating and robbing a Dallas woman last month are linked to a Venezuelan street gang. Four suspects are now in custody after one provided names and an address to police. The robbery occurred on September 21, when the woman was forced into her home at gunpoint, assaulted, and tied up. The suspects stole jewelry valued at $775,000. A fingerprint led to Manuel Hernandez, 28, who admitted involvement and named accomplices. Three suspects were arrested following a SWAT standoff, and all face immigration holds. The investigation continues.
After Manuel Hernandez-Hernandez was arrested, he told Dallas Police that the other men were a part of the El Anti-Tren criminal street gang.

LIVE: Tropical weather update
SUMMARY: Happy Labor Day! This is KHO1 meteorologist Pat Havlin with your tropical weather update for Monday, September 1. The Atlantic remains quiet as we near the peak of hurricane season on September 10. We’re watching a tropical wave off Africa with increased development odds now at 60%. It’s disorganized but may form into a tropical storm or depression by the end of the week over open water. Steering high pressure will influence its path—either moving west toward the Caribbean or curving north out to sea. The Gulf and Caribbean remain calm, though we monitor stationary boundaries near Florida. Stay tuned for updates.

Fixes to Texas' Crime Victims' Fund take effect following KXAN investigations
SUMMARY: New Texas laws aim to improve the Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund (CVC), following KXAN investigations that revealed delays, backlogs, and high turnover in helping violent crime victims get reimbursements. The fund, run by the Texas Attorney General, provides financial aid for medical and therapy expenses mainly from federal grants and court fees. Victims like Terry Reager experienced long waits—over a year-and-a-half—to receive aid, despite severe trauma. Recent legislative changes include setting a 90-day goal for payments, emergency payments for urgent cases, and separating data to increase transparency. While wait times are improving, some victims remain skeptical but hopeful for faster, more efficient processing.
