• A Lewisville father's mission to end bullying is changing lives worldwide - Cross Timbers Gazette Southern Denton County Flower Mound (crosstimbersgazette.com) — A longtime Lewisville resident, T-Ronn Hicks, has turned his personal history with bullying into a far-reaching anti-bullying mission that started in local schools and now spans millions worldwide. Recognized by Denton County and the city of Lewisville, he continues speaking in schools, churches, and community groups while urging parents and mentors here to actively support kids who are struggling.
   

• $1 added to Texans' car insurance paid for Flock cameras (spectrumlocalnews.com) — A new $1 annual auto insurance fee has helped fund thousands of Flock license plate cameras across Texas, sparking growing privacy concerns.
