Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott wants to recover $4.6 million owed former customers of Debt Relief USA, an Addison-based company that filed for bankruptcy protection in June.
Debt Relief USA promised to help consumers with large debts by having customers pay the company instead of paying creditors. Under its business model, Debt Relief would negotiate with creditors to reduce the amounts consumers owed.
First walls go up at Rayzor Ranch development in Denton

Concrete slabs, stacked one atop the other, sit just out of sight of passers-by along the U.S. 380-Interstate 35 interchange in Denton.
Last week,, a crew of 10, using a crane, pulled up the first walls of the $1 billion, 410-acre Rayzor Ranch – a now visible sign that the mixed-use development is closer to opening retail stores after years of anticipation among city officials, residents and passers-by.
The site, once owned by the J. Newton Rayzor family, was long known for grazing longhorn cattle, a multistoried house on a hill, and its historic prevalence as a lookout site in the 1800s before it was bought in April 2006.

Preston Hollow couple sees Christ-like figure in a Cheeto

What would “Cheesus” do?
A Preston Hollow couple driving home from Houston was snacking on a bag of Cheetos when Sara Bell had a religious experience.
“Jesus appeared,” she told the Preston Hollow People newspaper last week.
Or more exactly — a Cheeto in the shape of what appears to be a two-inch tall figurine with extended arms.
Bell had bought a bag of Cheetos in Jersey Village, about 20 miles northwest of Houston, and was eating the cheese-flavored snack when she made the discovery, the newspaper reported.
“I had eaten most of the ones in my hand and one was left lying there, and I said ‘Oh my gosh! Look at this! It really looks like a person in a robe praying,’” she told KTVT-TV. Her husband Dan looked over and said “‘Wow! It does look like a praying Jesus.’”
The couple nicknamed the orange puffed snack, “Cheesus.”
Their discovery landed them on the front page of the Preston Hollow newspaper.
It’s unclear whether “Cheesus” will be going up for auction on e-Bay. For now, the newspaper reported that the cheese snack is wrapped in tissue inside a box.
