Scammers can target victims through any device connected to the internet, and your TV is no exception. The Better Business Bureau of Greater Houston and South Texas has seen an influx of reports about scammers catching people off guard with pop-ups on their smart televisions. Their objective is to steal your personal information and money, and they could potentially gain access to your home network. The scam follows a similar pattern. You open a familiar streaming service on your smart TV. However, you can’t log in. Instead, a pop-up appears, telling you there is a problem with your device or your streaming subscription. You need to call a phone number or visit a website to fix it. In some cases, if you call the number, scammers pretend to be customer service representatives. They will insist you pay an activation fee or allow them remote access to your smart TV. These con artists will get your credit or debit card number if you pay the fee. If you give them access to your device … [Read more...] about BBB on Homes: Use these smart tips to avoid TV scams

The attraction of buying and living in an older home that has features from a particular era is hard for some to resist. If you have purchased an older home and love its character, you may have to make decisions on whether and how it should be restored or remodeled. Older homes often come with challenges such as structural issues, water damage, plumbing and electrical issues. These issues should be addressed first before remodeling. Discuss your budget and options with your remodeler to help decide whether to preserve and match the style of the home or rip out and update. Custom-designed and built cabinetry is the preferred option to be explored when renovating an older home. While it seems as though stock cabinets may be easier on the budget, having your cabinets created and built will give your home a more authentic look and offer a wider variety of door styles, finishes and size options. The cabinets will be measured, designed and crafted using the unique specifications of … [Read more...] about GHBA Remodelers Council: Making decisions when remodeling an older home

Buying or selling a home can become complicated in this already high-pressure market. Even other expensive items like cars or boats don’t present you with the level of complexity you will experience during most home sales. One part of the contract that’s designed to help make the process easier is the option period. The option provision is contained in all Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) residential contracts. On the new-home and resale contracts, it’s called the termination option; it’s in paragraph 23. Buyers pay for chance to say ‘no thanks’ During the option period, a buyer may terminate the contract for any reason and get his earnest money back. Most buyers use the option period to evaluate the condition of the property and otherwise determine if they want to proceed with the transaction, but that first point is worth repeating: It doesn’t matter what the buyer’s grounds are for terminating the contract. In fact, he doesn’t even have to give a reason as long as he … [Read more...] about Realtor View: What options do you have during a home search?

By The Associated Press March Madness is wrapping up the Elite Eight, and No. 1 seeds are nowhere to be found.

By The Associated Press March Madness has reached the Elite Eight! And unlike in the men’s bracket, two No. 1 seeds are still playing in the women’s bracket. Perennial contender UConn saw its streak of 14 straight Final Fours end, but there’s plenty of intrigue and sharpshooters left in the tourney. Here is what to know: GAMES TO WATCH No. 3 LSU (31-2) vs. No. 9 Miami, Sunday, 7 p.m. (ESPN) The resurgent Tigers under Kim Mulkey showed they are far more than first-team All-America Angel Reese, and they’ll face a Miami team that apparently finds no valley too deep to escape. Reece fouled out, but Alexis Morris hit four free throws in the last 10 seconds to bring the Tigers to the brink of their first Final Four in 15 years. LaDazDazhia Williams took advantage of the attention paid to Reese with a season-high 24 points for LSU and Reese had 17 points and 12 rebounds.

More than 21,000 unexpected pollution releases by Texas companies have released over 400,000 tons of air pollution in Texas from 2016 to 2022, and companies in less than 1% of these cases have been forced by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to find the root cause and take preventive action, according to a new report . The report by the Environmental Integrity Project, dubbed the “The Polluter’s Playbook — How Loopholes and Lax Enforcement Harm Air Quality in Texas,” claims that the TCEQ has not been doing enough to hold companies accountable for unexpected pollution releases. The study focused on pollution that is unexpectedly released during an accident, a facility shutdown or startup or during maintenance. Such emissions are separate from what companies are allowed to release under their TCEQ permits. The report found that only 119 out of 21,769 unplanned emissions events were designated “excessive” by the TCEQ. Tagging an event as “excessive” means that … [Read more...] about Report: Texas fails to hold repeat polluters accountable for unexpected emissions
