A tenant in Baytown paid a $435 bill for plumbing issues she says she didn't cause, but management has yet to explain why she's to blame and is still living with clogged appliances.You may have heard that laws generally favor landlords over tenants in Texas.
"I just want to use my kitchen sink and my bathroom, wash my clothes, live like a normal person," Traci Owens, a renter, explained.Her kitchen sink is so clogged she can barely use it. Owens said her washing machine backs up into the shower, and her toilet sometimes flushes."The owner said it was my fault. So I had to pay the bill," Owens explained.
On that same phone call, though, they told ABC13 they were planning to replace all of the plumbing pipes at the townhome.At this point, since Owens has paid off the bill, there's no easy path to any recourse.

Tennessee Bill Allows Felons to Apply for Voting Rights without Restoring Gun RightsA bipartisan bill in Tennessee allows residents convicted of felonies to apply for voting rights without restoring their gun rights. The bill, introduced by Democratic Rep. Antonio Parkinson and Republican Sen. Paul Bailey, aims to untangle the two rights and has cleared early hurdles. However, it still faces GOP skepticism as it advances in the late session. The proposal seeks to undo restrictions established in July, which required felons to have their full citizenship rights restored by a judge or show a pardon before applying for reinstated voting rights. The elections office confirmed in January that voting rights restoration would also require regaining gun rights.
