Progressive stops offering homeowners new insurance policies in Texas
SUMMARY: Obtaining home insurance in Texas is becoming increasingly challenging, particularly after Progressive announced the cessation of new home insurance policies in the state. This move is aimed at reducing their exposure to weather-related risks, which have been exacerbated by stronger natural disasters like tornadoes and hurricanes. Homeowners seeking mortgages will still require insurance, leading to higher rates for existing policiesโranging from 10% to 23%โas local market conditions tighten. Real estate experts fear this trend could significantly impact homebuyers in Texas and suggest that insurance companies will likely continue shifting focus to states with lower weather-related risks.
It’s a move that seems to benefit the insurance giant, but the realtor who spoke to KPRC 2โฒs Deven Clarke expects it to have a major impact on the local buyers’ market.

Ex-boyfriend found guilty of murder after trial that lasted more than 8 years
SUMMARY: After eight years, justice has finally been served for Amalia Alexander, a certified nursing assistant murdered in 2016. Key suspect Jarvis Hickerson, her ex-boyfriend, was found guilty of capital murder, as prosecutors argued he killed her to prevent her from testifying against him in a domestic violence case. Amalia’s body was discovered in a remote field months after her disappearance. During the trial, compelling evidence included video of Hickerson loading a large object into his truck the night she vanished. Despite his disruptive behavior in court, Hickerson will serve life in prison, providing closure for Amalia’s grieving family.
