By Eric NicholsonJuly 17, 2013

Neola Robinson told police that she’d last seen her husband on Memorial Day 2010, when he’d left their Tarrant County home and run off with another woman. That wasn’t entirely far-fetched.

By Brantley HargroveJuly 16, 2013

The summer of 2011 will go down as one of the hottest, driest years on record. Heat drove Texans to their thermostats and the electric grid to the brink of rolling blackouts. Tuesday, with those unbelievable temperatures in mind, grid managers convened to discuss whether they should raise the target…

Extremely Apologetic Gunman Really Sorry About Murder Threats — Unless You Messed With His Truck

By Eric NicholsonJuly 16, 2013

By Eric NicholsonJuly 16, 2013

Robert Lewis III May Be the Saddest Illegal Gun Dealer You’ll Ever Meet

By Eric NicholsonJuly 16, 2013

Lewisville City Council Effectively Bans Redneck Heaven’s “Anything But Clothes” Day

By Eric NicholsonJuly 16, 2013

The Lewisville City Council voted unanimously last night to redefine the city’s official definition of nudity, thereby outlawing the body paint, gumballs and various other non-clothes occasionally used to cover the lady parts of servers at Redneck Heaven. We covered this way too extensively yesterday. The whole episode was instructive,…

By Eric NicholsonJuly 15, 2013

By Eric NicholsonJuly 15, 2013

The city of Lewisville has an uneasy relationship with Redneck Heaven, the local chain of Southern-themed breastaurants.

Massive North Texas Gun Heist Foiled When Alleged Thief Passes Out, Drives Through Fence

By Eric NicholsonJuly 15, 2013

A quick glance at Rode Don Simmons’ Facebook page is enough to tell you that the 21-year-old enjoys guns, but that’s par for the course in semi-rural North Texas. A young man can’t very well shoot ducks and feral hogs without a trusty gun or two. But Simmons’ passion for…

Dallas’ Erich Spangenberg is Very Proud to Be America’s Biggest Patent Troll

By Eric NicholsonJuly 15, 2013

Erich Spangenberg, like others in his trade, would prefer that you refer to his stable of companies as “patent assertion entities.” But he has a thick skin; you’re more than welcome to call him a troll, so long as you point out that he is, in fact, the world’s biggest…

The 10 Dumbest Moments from the Texas Legislature’s Abortion Debate

By Eric NicholsonJuly 12, 2013

The abortion debate is a Gordian knot wrapped in a koan stuck in an inescapable quagmire. It’s not, in other words, a matter that can be settled through dialogue, reasoned or otherwise, as the Texas Legislature has so amply proved over the past month. That hasn’t stopped people from trying…
