World’s First Trillionaire, Reggie Theus From Texas Got decieved By Bank Error



Texas Man, Reggie Theus Becomes World’s First Trillionaire Due To Bank Error When I came across Reggie Theus story, I was forced to laugh a little. Yes he is the world’s first trillionaire but only for few hours.  The Texas-based restaurant manager got the shock of his life when he saw over 4 trillion dollars in his bank account. Like his daily routine, he went to work the next day and coordinated his staff. His bank later realized they made a mistake and quickly removed the money from his bank account. “I was definitely surprised when I looked in my account and saw that much money in there.’I looked it up and there’s never been a trillionaire before.” – Reggie told KLTV

Texas prepares to Kill 500th inmate




Jim Willett remembers the night of Dec. 6, 1982, when he was assigned to guard a mortuary van that had arrived at the death house at the Huntsville prison.
“I remember thinking: We’re really going to do this. This is really going to happen,” says Willett, who was a captain for the Texas Department of Corrections.
Associated Press reports that when the van pulled away early the next morning, it carried to a nearby funeral home the body of convicted killer Charlie Brooks, who had just become the first Texas prisoner executed since a Supreme Court ruling six years earlier allowed the death penalty to resume in the United States.
What was unusual then has become rote. On Wednesday, barring a reprieve, Kimberly McCarthy will become the 500th convicted killer in Texas to receive a lethal injection.

6 dead and at least 100 injured as hail storms and tornadoes hit Texas





Multiple fatalities and 120 homes destroyed as storms and powerful tornadoes struck Texas Wednesday.

Matt Zavadsky, a spokesman for MedStar Mobile Healthcare says about 100 people were injured as tornadoes touched down several times in Hood, Tarrant, Dallas and Parker counties. Hardest hit were two neighborhoods, Rancho Brazos Estates and DeCordova Ranch, in the southern end of the town of about 8,000 residents.
"With these types of tornadoes, they touch down; they lift up; they touch down. They tend to hopscotch," he said.
