A Texas family was sent a $15,676 bill by their apartment complex following the death of their 91-year-old mother, Sandra Bonilla, who had been living there for over a decade. Despite Texas law permitting family members to cancel a lease when a loved one dies, the complex charged the family $14,368 in "accelerated rent" and a $1,117 lease break fee. Meanwhile, a San Antonio police department uses a program called Trusted Driver, which issues speeding tickets via text message to avoid face-to-face interactions with officers. The program aims to free up police resources for more serious crime prevention and rewards drivers who follow traffic laws.
