Texas RioGrande Legal Aid Reopens San Antonio Office for In-Person Services

Texas RioGrande Legal Aid Reopens San Antonio Office for In-Person Services

Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA), one of the largest legal aid nonprofits in the state, has reopened its San Antonio office for in-person services. The new office, located in Northwest San Antonio on Console Road, near the intersection of Wurzbach Road and U.S. Interstate 10, began operations on Thursday. This move marks a return to physical presence after the organization primarily offered free legal services virtually or offsite due to the COVID-19 pandemic and issues with its previous office space. Executive Director Robert Doggett emphasized the importance of in-person interactions for building client relationships. TRLA covers 68 counties, from El Paso to Corpus Christi, and served over 15,000 clients last year, with Bexar County being its busiest location. The nonprofit provides civil legal aid, including family law, foreclosure, and eviction practices, for low-income residents, using state and federal funding.

San Antonio City Council Approves Property Tax Increase Amidst Budget Adjustments

San Antonio City Council Approves Property Tax Increase Amidst Budget Adjustments

The San Antonio City Council has approved a 3.9% property tax increase, the first since 1992, to address a budget deficit. This decision comes as the city faces softening property values and rising inflation. Bexar County, in contrast, opted to use reserve funds to avoid a tax rate hike. The city's $4.4 billion budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which is 8.6% larger than the previous year, includes significant investments, particularly a $2.5 billion redevelopment of the San Antonio International Airport. This airport project alone accounts for 6.3% of the budget's growth. Other changes include increased fees for various city services, such as park pavilion rentals, development permits, and library services for non-residents. The budget also saw cuts, with 100 city staff positions eliminated, 39 of which were from the San Antonio Public Library system, despite a 4% overall increase in the library's budget.

Texas Cold Front Brings Cooler Nights to Panhandle

Texas Cold Front Brings Cooler Nights to Panhandle

A cold front is making its way through Texas, bringing a taste of fall to parts of the state. The most significant changes are expected in the Panhandle and parts of North Texas, where daytime highs could drop into the 70s and 80s °F (21-27 °C). Nighttime temperatures in these areas are forecasted to fall into the 50s and 60s °F (10-20 °C), creating a more autumn-like feel. However, much of southern Texas, including cities like San Antonio and Houston, will remain under summer-like conditions with highs in the 90s °F (32-37 °C) and high humidity. While some areas may experience brief rain or cloud cover, these changes are not expected to bring sustained cooler weather to the southern parts of the state.
