TexasLawHelp has the free statutory forms that are legally valid. Printed them, filled them out, got notarized at my bank for free. Total cost: $0.

Mohler MMA in Deep Ellum is my recommendation for beginners. The culture is welcoming, the instruction is high-level, and Travis Lutter knows his stuff.

Ssahm BBQ brisket kimchi quesadilla changed my understanding of what food can be.

Always check the door jamb sticker. If it says the car was made in a different year than the title, walk away immediately.

For anyone reading this who thinks they can't leave: the protective order process is simpler than you think. The court clerks walk you through it. It's designed to be accessible without a lawyer.

FFP is specifically designed to prevent clubs like Newcastle from competing. The rules protect the existing elite and punish new investment. It is anti-competitive.

These older complexes on Forest Lane have had fire issues before. A lot of them were built in the 70s with minimal fire suppression.

You forgot Denton! College town vibes, most affordable in DFW, great music scene, but commuting to Dallas is 45-60 minutes.

Abu Dhabi 2021 is either number 1 or should not be on the list depending on who you ask. The controversy taints it. But the raw drama is undeniable.

The mental health comeback is the real story. From 400 lbs and suicidal thoughts to heavyweight champion of the world. That transcends boxing.

Contributing to 401K up to the company match is the single best financial move anyone can make. It's literally free money. If your employer matches 4%, contribute at least 4%.

Carte Blanche omakase is a life experience. Proposed there. She said yes. 10/10.

Canelo at 168 is the best super middleweight ever and it is not close. Calzaghe beat nobody compared to Canelo's resume. Ward retired too early. Canelo has the fights AND the record.

CityVet's walk-in model is perfect for busy people. No appointment needed, open evenings and weekends.

DFW estate sales are where resellers make money. EstateSales.net for DFW listings. Park Cities and Southlake estate sales have high-end items at garage sale prices.

WhiteWater Express is the fastest drive-through wash in DFW. In and out in 3 minutes. The basic wash is solid.

The Asian food corridors. Royal Lane for Korean, Richardson/Plano for Chinese, Garland for Vietnamese, Irving for Indian. These are world-class food areas that other cities don't have in this concentration.

City parks camps are the best value. Plano Parks & Rec does $100/week with field trips. That's basically subsidized childcare.
