Hays County Jail is full and has been outsourcing inmates to other jails for years. Due to the high population of incarcerated people, Hays County has been implementing various programs to attempt to divert people from the jail, such as the mental health court that was recently established and the pretrial services department. Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra has a standing agenda item during each commissioner court meeting in which he reads the current jail population, the amount of inmates outsourced and the cost.

Step into the 21st Century only five minutes away from the sixth stop on the Home Tour in your motorized buggy ride to experience the master- planned community of La Cima in the Texas Hill Country, hailed by Forbes magazine as the “next great metropolis.” Spanning over 2,400 acres, La Cima offers distinct new home designs with Hill Country views by a distinguished line-up of builders. The Perry Home and the Highland Home in La Cima will be the final two homes on the 47th annual Home Tour hosted by the Heritage Association of San Marcos. While the theme of the self-guided tour is “Vintage Bungalows on Old Buggy Trails,' the two La Cima homes will be the 'show houses' that conclude this year’s home tour showing off a beautiful contemporary interior design. Unlike the other houses that close at 4 p.m. these two homes do not close until 6 p.m.

Boy, is technology making is ruder. It all started with email.

Bathroom floor tiles that weigh you, analyze your gait and evaluate your fall risk. Bathroom mirrors that initiate telehealth conferences based on your complexion or facial tics. Toilet seats that check your vitals (temperature, heart rate, oxygenation).
