Fort Bend County Judge KP George accused in fake social profile case to influence election
SUMMARY: Fort Bend County Judge KP George is under investigation for alleged election fraud, linked to his former campaign consultant, Theal Patel. George stated he is cooperating as a witness, not a target, despite being accused of knowing about Patel’s fake social media posts. Patel, who was arrested for felony charges last month, allegedly used a fictitious account to post racist comments. Investigators claim George directed Patel to create these posts to undermine rival campaigns. Legal experts suggest George could face similar misdemeanor and felony charges as Patel. No formal charges have been filed against George as of now.
One of Fort Bend County’s top officials has been ordered to turn over his “cellular communication devices.”
A search warrant from the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office alleges that Fort Bend County Judge KP George coordinated a social media hoax with his former chief of staff Taral Patel.

No, you’re not too young: Finance executive prepares you for retirement
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. After taking over Black Tie Catering, which his father worked at as a dishwasher, Noah realized he needed a financial plan. Inspired by his parents’ work ethic, he sought help from Nick Lewis of the Lewis Group, who advised on budgeting, emergency savings, life insurance, and retirement plans. With a solid plan, Noah feels relief knowing he can support his employees and family, especially given the average retiree in San Antonio earns only $2,211 annually.
However, a recent AARP survey found that 20% of U.S. adults ages 50 and up haven’t saved money for their retirement. That grim statistic is a reason Noe Martinez, 40, decided to organize his finances.
