Good morning! On this day in 1934, blues guitarist Freddie King was born in Gilmer. "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" and "Hide Away" are among his biggest hits.

Feral hogs had a field day at a park in College Station, but it came with a big price tag. Check out the story below!

Check out today's sponsor Dentavim, with tips to improve your dental hygiene.

New Law Requires Food Allergy Posters in Restaurants

As of Sept. 1, restaurants in Texas must display food allergy awareness posters to apply for or renew their certifications.

The new state law was passed in response to the death of Sergio Alexander Lopez of McAllen, who suffered a fatal allergic reaction in 2014 despite repeatedly asking restaurant staff about the safety of his meal.

After working for years to get the state to require restaurants to display warnings about food allergies, Lopez’s mother, Belinda Vaca, says she wants the federal government to pass a similar law.

"Innovation" Jail To Open In Bartlett

A state jail in Bartlett that was shut down seven years ago is reopening as the state’s first "Innovation" Unit, aiming at equipping inmates with workforce skills and certifications.

The facility, which was privately run when a declining inmate population forced it to close in 2017, is reopening due to a rise in post-pandemic incarcerations and a new approach to criminal rehabilitation.

The unit will house around 1,000 lower-risk male inmates, who will leave with a license or certification to help them find employment.

List: Texas' Most Popular Fall Parks

A new ranking lists the most popular Texas state parks for fall, with Ray Roberts Lake State Park taking the top spot, drawing an average of 143,632 visitors each season.

Garner State Park and Palo Duro Canyon State Park follow, with over 100,000 and 94,000 visitors, respectively.

Parks in the Prairies & Lakes region receive the highest fall attendance, while those in the Big Bend Country region, like Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area, have the fewest visitors. See the full list and map here.
