Pro tip: if they don't pay after judgment, the Abstract of Judgment puts a lien on any property they own in the county. They can't sell or refinance until they pay you.

The 3-day cancellation right is absolute. Signed up for a CrossFit box, realized it was too expensive, cancelled within 2 days. They tried to push back. Cited 702.303. Done.

SMS two-factor is basically useless now. SIM-swapping attacks defeat it. Use an authenticator app or hardware key.

Dashcam with parking mode is the move. My Viofo caught the guy on camera. DPD still didn't do anything but at least I had footage for insurance.

My honest advice: set a deadline. "We do long distance for X months and then one of us moves." Open-ended long distance is what kills it.

Magnolia Motor Lounge honky-tonk Tuesdays are Fort Worth at its finest. Cold beer, real music, good people.

Always always always get the estimate in writing. Verbal quotes are worthless. And read the fine print on "not to exceed" language.

The May 15 deadline is critical. Miss it and you're stuck with whatever they say. Put it in your phone right now.

The scheduling thing is so real. I have my kids every other week, she has hers on the SAME weeks. We see each other twice a month max. But we make it work.

Cedar Hill is the best value in DFW right now. 20 min to downtown, good schools (Cedar Hill ISD is B+ on Niche), and homes under $300K still exist.

I had it 3-2 Tsarukyan honestly. Rounds 2, 3, and 4 were his on the feet. The grappling margins were slim.

Basketball Reference: Luka's PER is historically elite for his age. Top 15 all-time pace.

Fort Worth downtown at $1,200 for a 1BR is the best deal on this list. Sundance Square, walkable, actual culture.

Report injuries in WRITING. "Hey boss, I hurt my back" at the water cooler doesn't count if they deny it later. Email or written report with a date.

Sports teams. Cowboys, Mavericks, Rangers, Stars, FC Dallas, Wings. Six major pro teams plus TCU, SMU, and UNT. Name another metro with that depth.

Dez caught it. I will die on this hill. Source: my own eyes and the laws of physics.

Lightweight is by far the best division to follow right now. Makhachev, Tsarukyan, Oliveira, Poirier, Gaethje. Absolute murders row.

Mandalay Canal Walk in Irving is so random but genuinely nice. The gondola ride is cheesy but fun for a date.

iSettle and other online protest platforms charge 1% of savings but they do all the work. Worth it if you don't want to attend hearings.

Drive to Survive created fans who want drama, not racing. Real racing fans appreciate witnessing greatness. Verstappen 2023 was like watching peak Schumacher.

Children's Health in Dallas is world-class. When my son needed surgery, we felt like we were in the best hands possible.

Levitt Pavilion in Arlington does free concerts AND movies. One of the best free entertainment venues in mid-cities.

Jordan is still the GOAT by peak. 6-0 in Finals. LeBron is the GOAT by totality of career. They are both right answers depending on what you value.

India Palace lunch buffet on a Wednesday is my guilty pleasure. 14 items deep. $16 all-in.

Hamilton arriving is either going to elevate Leclerc or destroy him. There is no middle ground when you share a garage with a 7-time champion.
