Across The Line

According to the district attorney in Smith County, this building was the site of the most horrific child sex ring in Texas history.

The 50 Greatest Hamburgers In Texas

A gastro-scientific inquiry into the finest burgers in the state that invented the burger, including the Toro (#4), the Stodg (#6), the Miss Hattie (#28), and, in our top slot, a miracle of meat served only on Sundays. No wonder they call it the Lord’s day.

Innocence Lost

Since August 23, 1992, Anthony Graves has been behind bars for the gruesome murder of a family in Somerville. There was no clear motive, no physical evidence connecting him to the crime, and the only witness against him recanted, declaring again and again before his death, in 2000, that Graves didn’t do it. If he didn’t, the truth will come out. Won’t it?

Right Place, Right Time

An exquisite sense of timing—and a good deal of luck—has helped transform Rick Perry from an unknown Democratic state legislator into a swaggering Republican who’s spent more years in the Governor’s Mansion than anyone in Texas history. Is it enough to carry him past Kay Bailey Hutchison and all the way to the White House?

I am Jeremey’s cousin. We grew up like brothers. When Jay died, a part of me died as well. It took me several years to comprehend why something like this had to happen to him. Jay was indeed asleep in the back of the car that night and did not deserve what happened to him. He lived and died the part of "wrong place, wrong time." I was not there with him that night, but sometimes wish I were. Jordan, your father was a great young man. He and I were closer than Kevin, Cliff, Chris, and my two brothers. I miss him and think about him every day. I’m not sure if you have even heard of me or not. I have not been in contact with that side of the family since this happened so many years ago. It is too hard. I have so many stories I can share with you about your dad. Please contact me if you see this. Jimmie jaott02@sbcglobalnet

Jeremy Lowrance is my dad. I was the one my mom was pregnant and now im having to suffer over never meeting my dad and never having a real father figure. He was asleep in the back seat of the car when it happened and his life was taken away! God did not give man the power to take away another mans life. So I hope that man got what he deserved because my dad didnt deserve to die that night. I wanted to atleast meet him, and i couldnt.
