## Resource

Any gains North Texans receive from protesting their property taxes may be lost to growing home insurance costs that are stretching homeowners’ budgets and blunting the region’s affordability edge. In other news, police have arrested three suspects after a string of vehicle thefts, gun thefts and 12 shootings throughout Austin on Saturday and Sunday; after Highland Park left DART, there are riders with new, longer commutes; and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines laid off “approximately 75” workers in what the airline said was an “operational restructuring.” Learn more about your ad choices.
