unclaimed money
AUSTIN) — The Texas Comptroller’s office approved and paid $285 million in unclaimed property claims during the past fiscal year, Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced today.
The $285 million in unclaimed property returned in fiscal 2021 represents more than 538,000 properties. These belongings include things such as forgotten utility deposits or other refunds, insurance proceeds, payroll checks, cashier’s checks, dividends, mineral royalties, dormant bank accounts and abandoned safe-deposit box contents. Businesses generally turn property over to the unclaimed property program after it has been considered dormant for one to five years.
There is generally no statute of limitations for unclaimed property the state holds, which means there’s no time limit for owners to file a claim — they can do so at any time.
For more information about the unclaimed property program, or to search for unclaimed property and begin the claims process, visit the Comptroller's unclaimed property website, ClaimItTexas.org, or call 800-321-2274 (CASH).

National Night out Cancelled
In a letter that Lampasas Police Chief Sammy Bailey released she states that the National Night Out event has been cancelled, due to Covid.
While she said that it is an easy decision in one way, to keep our residents safe, it is not something she has to like. But to host such a large event could put our community at a risk far greater than she is willing to take.
The Lampasas Police Dept. asks that on October 5th everyone turn their porch lights on. Better yet, make them blue porch lights to show that our community stands up against crime and we work together to keep our community safe, healthy and crime free. The blue lights also show we support our Badgers!
Chief Bailey reiterates to reach out, or stop by the Police Dept. to have a cup of coffee and discuss any concerns or problems you might have.

tropical storm nicholas
Hurricane Nicholas made landfall in Matagorda County overnight. The storm was downgraded from a category 1 hurricane to a tropical storm after making landfall and is moving slowly to the north-northeast.
Tropical storm Nicholas is slowly moving toward the Houston metropolitan region, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The storm was about 15 miles south-southwest of Houston at 7 a.m. Tuesday with maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour. A weather station near Galveston Bay recorded a one-minute sustained wind of 39 miles per hour and a gust of 52 miles per hour. Galveston has already received at least a foot of rain from Nicholas, according to the National Weather Service.
Widespread minor flooding and isolated river flooding is expected across the upper Texas Gulf Coast and southern Louisiana and Mississippi. Nicholas is expected to dump 5 to 10 inches of rain on upper Texas coastal areas. Southern Louisiana could see as much as 20 inches of rain from the storm. Schools in the Houston region were closed Tuesday and some flights have been canceled at both of Houston’s major airports, George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P. Hobby Airport.

Texans Missing 2nd Vaccine Dose of Vaccine
Texas Tribune) When vaccines were first rolled out last year in Texas, Syed Raza received an unusual text message from a fellow doctor practicing in the Houston area.
The doctor had just received his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine and was scheduled to get his second shot later that month, but he was texting Raza to note he had been reading on the internet that he had “enough protection from the first dose” and didn’t need to get the second dose.
“This is science. Vaccines work, and they work much more effectively if people get both doses,” he added. “Using emotions, or opinions people get off of nonreputable sources, is not helping.”
But a large number of Texans apparently have decided to stick with one dose of the two-dose Moderna or Pfizer vaccines: 1.89 million have missed their second dose as of Sept. 6, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. More than 1 million of them are more than 90 days overdue for their second dose.
That means that of those who received a first dose, 11% haven’t gotten their second shot within the recommended time frame.
“Those numbers [confirm] a lot of what we have been seeing. We knew it,” said Dr. James McDeavitt, the executive vice president and dean of clinical affairs at Baylor College of Medicine. “It's problematic. It always has been, but it’s even more problematic with the delta variant.”
Doctors were already fearful about Texas’ lagging vaccination rate. As of Sept. 11, roughly 49% of Texans were fully vaccinated, according to DSHS. Nationally, just under 54% are fully vaccinated

upcoming blood drive
LAMPASAS, Texas – Blood is a necessity for all people at all times. During the ongoing nationwide blood supply shortage, the need for this vital resource is urgent, especially for those living with sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic blood disorder. This month, Carter BloodCare urges all eligible donors to give blood to help local patients in need, including Texans living with SCD.
September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month, a time to build understanding and community support to help Americans affected by this disease. Healthy red blood cells have a round shape that helps them carry oxygen to all parts of the body.
In someone with SCD, however, these cells have a curved shape, much like a farmer’s sickle or crescent moon, which can clog flow through small blood vessels, causing severe pain, infection, strokes and other health issues. This requires regular replacement of SCD patients’ blood with that of healthy donors’ red blood cells.
