Fish Story Story
(September 2010) Eventually, even time spent out on the lake with a cane pole in your hand—the most timeless time of all—runs out.

Law and Disorder Story
(February 2011) John O’Quinn didn’t just set out to be a lawyer, he set out to be the best (and the richest) lawyer who ever lived. And over the course of a long career, he amassed the astronomical courtroom paydays, outrageous car collection, luxury homes, and list of mortal enemies to prove it. Now, a year after his shocking death, he’s got the bitter, tawdry estate battle too.
Midnight in the Garden of East Texas Story
(January 1998) Marjorie Nugent was the richest widow in an eccentric town full of rich widows. Bernie Tiede was an assistant funeral home director who became her companion. When she disappeared, nobody seemed alarmed. When he confessed to killing her, nobody seemed outraged.

Shotz Bar & Grill Restaurant
(From June 2009) We went here with low expectations—it’s mainly a bar—but were pleasantly surprised. The beef quesadillas were moist and tasty and the burger with curly fries was excellent.

(January 2003) The late Warren Burnett was the last of his breed: a passionate defender of the little guy—and of the now-radical notion that there's honor in being a trial lawyer.
The Lost Girls Story
(April 2010) For the thousands of women who have been trafficked into Houston and forced to work as prostitutes in the city’s underground sex trade, escaping from captivity may be the easiest part of the nearly impossible road to recovery.
The Ranger Bandit Story
(February 1992) He was the drug kingpin with connections in high places. When he beat a rap, he taunted cops with an ad that said, “Better Luck Next Time.” Steve Benifiel called himself …
