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's Friesenhahn Cave Reveals Ice Age Secrets and Prohibition-Era History

San Antonio's Friesenhahn Cave Reveals Ice Age Secrets and Prohibition-Era History

Friesenhahn Cave, located just 20 minutes north of downtown San Antonio, is a significant paleontological site containing one of North America's most well-preserved fossil records from the Ice Age. The cave, managed by Concordia University Texas, has yielded over 4,000 teeth and bones from more than 30 genera of Ice Age mammals, reptiles, and birds, including numerous remains of the scimitar-toothed cat (Homotherium). Researchers believe these predators used the cave as a den, dragging prey like juvenile mammoths back inside. The cave also holds a more recent historical secret: evidence suggests it may have been used for distilling or storing whiskey during the Prohibition era by the Friesenhahn family, who originally owned the land.

Dave Bautista's Ex-Wife Angie Bautista's Ovarian Cancer Journey Highlighted in Awareness Efforts

Dave Bautista's Ex-Wife Angie Bautista's Ovarian Cancer Journey Highlighted in Awareness Efforts

Angie Bautista, former wife of actor and professional wrestler Dave Bautista, is recognized for her personal battle with ovarian cancer and her subsequent involvement in awareness campaigns. Diagnosed on September 9, 2002, Angie experienced unexplained bruising, a significant drop in energy, and difficulty retaining food. Initially, these symptoms were attributed to her fitness training. However, after two and a half months without improvement, further examination, including a sonogram, revealed a tumor on her right ovary, leading to her cancer diagnosis. Her treatment involved Taxol and Carboplatin, and she navigated periods of remission and recurrence. Her experience became a focal point for public discussion around ovarian cancer, particularly because her symptoms were not typical of common perceptions of the disease. Dave Bautista supported her by collaborating with Jimmy Noonan on 'Bautista Vs. Cancer,' a video project aimed at raising funds for ovarian cancer research, which was dedicated to Angie.

Hills Snyder's 'Strays' Exhibition Opens at Amarillo Museum of Art, Showcasing Five Decades of Work

Hills Snyder's 'Strays' Exhibition Opens at Amarillo Museum of Art, Showcasing Five Decades of Work

The Amarillo Museum of Art (AMoA) is currently hosting 'Hills Snyder: Strays (1973-2026),' an exhibition featuring 33 works spanning over 50 years from the San Antonio-based artist. The collection, described by Snyder as 'one-off works' born from 'fugitive circumstance or perhaps made in response to random stimuli,' offers a diverse look into his artistic journey. Visitors are greeted by a headless Buddha statue, a permanent AMoA feature, before entering the gallery. Inside, notable pieces include 'Drawn and Quartered' (1989), a stark acrylic-on-wood painting of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man with a 3D arrow, and 'Monochrome' (2020-2024), a Confederate flag stripped of color through a chemical process. The exhibition also features a suite of three indescribable wall sculptures from 1973—'Ray,' 'A Night in the Life of a Window,' and 'Antechamber'—which challenge conventional interpretation. Snyder's work often blends visual art with linguistic elements, prompting viewers to engage with the limits of lang...

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.

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.
