PD told her they were not going to dispatch an officer and to file her report online through an AI driven website. When the online system was having glitches she was told it would be 14 days before they would get back to her so she wouldn't be able to file the police report till then. I dont know the laws in Texas but I would believe they would be similar to our state, where the burglary to a vehicle plus the theft valued over $1000 dollars plus the damages to the vehicle would equal 1 misdomeaner and 2 felonies. I too work in law enforcement and this would not fly at my agency, especially involving felonies.

It's beer and wine only, so if you prefer liquor it's not the spot for you. The wine was ok. Not a high dollar selection. They had 3 different juices for mimosas which was fun. You have to walk next door to get food. The mimosas were the only thing that qualified as brunch at the "Drag Brunch" but I wasn't too upset about the misnomer. Just don't go hungry and looking forward to pancakes. Super fun show though. Definitely go to one if you're celebrating something. They make it especially fun for those groups.

Loved that they brought up several people from the audience to the stage to compete for a small prize. Many of the participants were brides at their bachelorette party celebrations. #love The ticket included one drink but not brunch food. I got there a bit earlier to grab us some good seats. Biggest issues were they started later than we thought so one of the people in our group had to leave before it was over, there was an epic food truck incident (this was supposed to be a Brunch event) with food running an hour late did not really have brunchy items, and they didn't clearly label on their menu that the cocktails were wine based vs. the traditional alcohol of tequila, gin, etc. The cocktails were fine but if I'd known/recalled/seen a disclaimer I would have been a bit more wary as I have reactions to certain wines and sugars. Thankfully, I had no major reaction but my digestion was a bit off for a bit.

This is one of the earliest historic sites in Austin and was essentially the French embassy when…read moreTexas was it's own country before joining the US. It's consists of a main house and a few smaller buildings on a lovely landscaped property that is fenced off and almost park-like. To be frank (not a pun) there is not much to see here. You can go inside the house and appreciate the 1800s furnishings and way of life, and stroll the shady grounds, but all that might take less than an hour. But if you go during events like Bastille Day when there are activities like playing petanque on the lawn, you'll find the place more lively. Regardless of when you visit there's a small dedicated parking lot attached which is welcome, and inexpensive metered street parking if the lot is full. The museum and grounds are an immaculately preserved oasis of green in East Austin very close to downtown.

The Texas State Capitol is massive, ornate, and undeniably beautiful. It's one of the largest state…read morecapitols in the country -- taller than the U.S. Capitol -- and the pink granite exterior looks incredible in the sun. The grounds are equally impressive: wide lawns, old trees, monuments everywhere, and walkways that make it easy to wander without feeling boxed in. As a physical place, it's stunning. But the contrast between the building and what happens inside it is impossible to ignore. Some of the most oppressive elected officials in the state work here, pushing policies that many Texans feel erode or outright erase basic freedoms. A lot of people see the current political climate as one where leaders are working hard to force the population into a narrow religious worldview, regardless of what others believe. The beauty of the building doesn't soften the reality of the decisions being made within it. The Capitol itself has extensive accessibility features -- ramps, elevators, modified pathways, and accommodations that allow full access to the building, including for the governor, who uses a wheelchair. These improvements exist because of decades of advocacy and investment in accessibility infrastructure. Yet some of the governor's policy positions have been criticized by disability‑rights groups as inconsistent with broader goals of accessibility and inclusion. It's a striking contrast: a building designed to be open and navigable to all, while some of the decisions made inside it are seen as running counter to that spirit. As a landmark, the Capitol is worth seeing. As a symbol of the state's political direction, it's harder to admire without thinking about who works there and what their decisions mean for Texans who don't fit their narrow worldview.
