SUMMARY: The family of Delano Burks, a 26-year-old man found dead in the Houston Ship Channel nearly two years ago, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against McIntyre’s bar in the Heights. They claim that the bar over-served Burks and forcibly removed him while knowing he was intoxicated and in need of assistance. The lawsuit alleges negligence, stating that bar staff failed to implement safety policies that could have prevented Burks’ death after he went missing in November 2022. Burks’ body was discovered on November 25, 2022, by tugboat employees, nearly two weeks after his disappearance.

SUMMARY: AARP reports that 20% of adults aged 50 and older have no retirement savings. Noah Martinez, a first-generation business owner from San Antonio, shares his journey of financial organization.
