10. I have to give credit to WFAA T.V. in Dallas for investigating other lax regulations in Texas.

This station and many other media outlets in Texas are not in the pockets of Rick Perry it appears. They seem to be very concerned after the tragedy in West. Watch this investigative report which aired on Thursday in the D/FW area concerning a similar incident that occurred in 2011.
It should be an eye opener for anyone living in Texas or other areas of the country. People need to wake up and demand change before the next major incident occurs again.
