A family member of mine is currently in the West Tower of Dallas County Jail. I just recently got in contact with him through Smart Communications and yesterday he sent me the information to set up the phone account so he could call me. I added money to the account, but I still haven’t received a call from them.
Has anyone had a family member in West Tower or been there themselves? I’m mostly wondering what the conditions are like and how often they actually get access to the phones. Is it normal to go a day or two without being able to call even when there’s money on the account?
I’m just worried about them and want to know that they are okay. Any insight from someone familiar with West Tower would be appreciated.

Looking for recommendations for apartments near downtown Dallas. Will be working right by AAC so anything within a 15 minute radius will work! Ideally would like to stay under $2500 for a 1 bedroom. Don’t necessarily have to be in uptown, and happy to be east of 75.

Thank you!

My family and I are considering a move to Dallas in the near future. For our first year or two while we figure out where to plan roots, we're looking for a 3 bedroom building in a walkable area (so far eyeing Knox Henderson, Uptown, Addison Circle (?)). We want a nice-ish building (ideally with a pool, in walking distance to parks + restaurants, and family friendly) and are looking to spend up to 6,000 a month. Any recommendations on where to look? Its been shockingly hard to find this info online so far. I've seen the ultra lux apartments like the Katy and the McKenzie which are out of our price range.

I have a history of low testosterone from a prolactin tumor. Symptoms are roaring back. Unfortunately going through my PCP at UTSW, the best they can do for me is an appointment in 6 months…. Any one have any recommendations for a more available doctor? I prefer someone with an MD/DO.

hello fellow dfw residents! I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for a while and I always knew I wanted to get a tattoo of my cats paw print when she died, and she died last month :( I just wanted to know if anyone knew of a good artist around dfw who did good pet prints or just was reputable for this kind of thing in general. thanks in advance to anyone who has any recommendations :)

Just put an offer in on a house located in Vickery place neighborhood. We are moving from out of state. Young family with 3 kids 5 and under. I’d like to think we did our research when picking a place. Would love to hear any local insight on the community/schools etc.. pros/cons? Anything helpful to know? Good ways to get myself and kids involved in the community? Best nursery schools? Traditional ballet studio for my 5yr old? Soccer recs for my 3 year old? Thanks in advance.
