Atmos customer complaints were often received around this time of year, most regarding unusually high bills. These were sometimes associated with how Texas law requires natural gas meter reads only twice per year. Current best practice for energy and water utilities is to employ advanced-metering Infrastructure. Within the past decade, readers may remember Oncor’s deployment of AMI “Smart Meters.” Our city’s water utility has recently deployed AMI.
I was a volunteer animal-abuse investigator with the Humane Society of Dallas County assisting the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department in the 1970s and was one of the first to successfully provide testimony for a cruelty seizure. I also was on the SPCA board in the ’70s. I’ve been there. I am a gun owner with a permit to carry, which I obtained when we had sensible laws. It is staggering to me that we allow any criminal, mentally ill or simply unqualified person to carry firearms.
