Monthly News Recap Businesses on the move

What’s opened, what’s closed, etc.

After more than a year in business, New York Pizza & Pasta at the intersection of West Hickory Street and Carroll Boulevard closed in late June. A letter in the window said the business had not paid rent and the locks were changed.

The expansion at Lone Star Attitude Burger Co. is complete, adding 3,000 square feet of dining space on the rooftop and 800 square feet for an expanded kitchen area at 113 W. Hickory St. Next door to LSA, the Discover Denton Welcome Center is now open on the downtown Square. It acts as a gift shop, live radio station and information hub about the city.

Texas Health Resources bought Atrium Medical Center in Corinth, and plans to reopen the facility as Texas Health Behavioral Health Hospital in June 2017.

The owners of Western Son Distillery in Pilot Point opened their latest project in June: Whistle Post Brewing Co. at 219 W. Division St. in Pilot Point.

The retail medical clinic operated by CVS Health, MinuteClinic, is now open inside the Target store on South Loop 288 in Denton.

Sub Shack, formerly Captain Nemo’s, at 207 S. Bell Ave. closed last month.

Aubrey favorite Upper Park Cafe now has a location in Denton: 222 W. Hickory St. The restaurant is open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, serving lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Sprouts Farmers Market has delayed its opening at 4930 Teasley Lane. Set to open June 29, the opening has been pushed back to Aug. 24.

Man arrested on charge of terroristic threats Peshwaz Azad Waise, 28, was arrested June 15, at the Denton

County Courts Building on East McKinney Street and charged with making terroristic threats.

Waise, who is of Middle Eastern descent, tried to distribute copies of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, to people at various establishments in Denton, including Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton’s Center for Women at 207 N. Bonnie Brae St. He reportedly threatened people at the women’s health center and was later detained by police at the courthouse.

“While being detained, Peshwaz became agitated and said, ‘I’m imposing the death penalty [on the officers who were dealing with him],’” according to a news release from Denton police. “He later told them, ‘Anybody who touches me is going to bleed.’”

Denton police spokesman Shane Kizer said Waise was unarmed when he was arrested.

Police arrested Waise once they obtained a warrant for earlier terroristic threats at the women’s center. Authorities subsequently

searched his silver Nissan Versa for weapons and explosives but found none.

Denton, Silent Bob-style Silent Bob is coming to Denton.

Who is Silent Bob? The backward-ballcap-wearing character who originated in the 1990s movies Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma. The character was never without his foulmouthed bestie, Jay. Silent Bob is the creation of actor, director and comic book geek Kevin Smith. He’s the guest of honor for the Greater Denton Arts Council’s upcoming exhibit, “Heroes in the Making: The Art of Comic Production.”

The exhibit kicks off with a free reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sept. 16 at the PattersonAppleton Arts Center. Costumes are strongly encouraged.

The next night, comic enthusiasts can attend “An Evening With Kevin Smith: The Art of

Comics,” a talk by the writer, comedian, podcaster and film director, at 7 p.m. Sept. 17 at the University of North Texas’ Murchison Performing Arts Center.

Smith’s discussion will include adult content and explicit language, and guests should be over 18.

WinCo to open first Denton location July 28 WinCo Foods will open its first retail location in Denton on Thursday, July 28 at Rayzor Ranch Town Center.

This is the next scheduled opening for the development along West University Drive, and it’s an 85,000-square-foot grocery store that will be open 24 hours.

The store is planning a grand opening for the first weekend in August, said Melissa Vandenberg, senior corporate counsel for WinCo. The much-anticipated In-N-

Out Burger at the town center still doesn’t have construction fully underway yet, said Carl Van Fleet, In-N-Out vice president for planning and development.

He can’t give a project timeline or projected completion date, but he said that once construction begins, it generally takes four to five months to open.

Kroger expects boom from new service Based on a list of 21 stores it announced, Kroger is expecting a big payoff from its new online shopping service called ClickList.

Kroger is hiring and training 20 people per store, adding parking signs, knocking down exterior walls to make dedicated ClickList doors and installing new refrigeration and freezer units.

DISD event scheduled enton Chamber of Commerce members interested in having oneon-one access to new employees of Denton’s public schools have an opportunity to sign up as a sponsor for an informal reception Aug. 10. One of the chamber’s most popular major initiatives is an annual event to welcome new employees of the Denton school district.

Although this particular event has gone through several formats over the years, it continues to be one of the chamber’s most popular major functions.

The event is based on an arrangement in which the DISD administration allows chamber members to provide information on their products and services during the annual faculty ori-

the Denton Public School Foundation to fund grants for teachers.

The event is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 10 at the Popo and Lupe Gonzalez School for Young Children. Vendor tables will be available through July 22.

Extract value from summer slowdown o matter what you do for a living, there’s no avoiding slowdown in business. This is especially true for certain types of businesses — a landscaping company simply isn’t going to have customers beating down its door in the middle of winter.

It’s part of life when you own a business: Sometimes you’re flush and sometimes you’re down.

While it’s everyone’s dream to have a thriving business with more business than they can handle, there’s opportunity in downtime. (By the way, if you don’t want more work than you can handle, I’m worried for your future.)

The truth is, business slowdown is frightening — it can scare the pants off the most experienced business owner.

No one wants to see the bottom line start to slip away.

But you don’t have to stand idle — if you make the most of this time, you can extract serious value from a business slowdown and get your online presence and marketing efforts back on track.

As a marketer, here’s what comes to mind:

N

Heather STEELE | 1. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR WEBSITE Your website is the centerpiece of your marketing — where leads and clients alike go to research your company. It’s the first place someone goes after you meet them at a networking event. It’s the source of a good percentage of your social media shares.

It’s expected to exist, it’s expected to be good (well designed, easy to use, easy to understand), and it can be a powerful driver of leads and sales. Now is the time to figure out if it’s actually working as a tool for your business — and to think about how to change it if it’s not.

2. TIGHTEN UP YOUR MARKETING Most businesses have a “set it and forget it” mentality when it

comes to marketing.

You probably set some things in motion awhile ago and promptly forgot them — because you’re kind of busy running a business.

It’s time to take a look at what you’ve got going on. Maybe your marketing dollars would be better spent elsewhere (like pulling money out of expensive radio ads and plugging it into a few social media advertising campaigns).

Just take a look at where you’re focusing your efforts, then ask yourself, “Is this the best use of my money?”

3. BUILD UP YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE Social media often take a back seat with a business owner.

It’s easy to neglect social media accounts. It takes a lot of work to monitor social media, and you probably don’t have time to do it on your own.

But social media, when done right, can be an excellent source of leads. Take a look at what you have going on, and ask yourself if it’s working. Maybe you need to delete some accounts, maybe you

need to update your pages, but figure out where you stand and how to get where you need to be.

4. TAKE ACTION The most important thing to do is something — whatever that is. Maybe you need a well-deserved vacation after a rough season; maybe you need to get your business lean and cut away wasteful processes or expenses.

If you do want to focus on your website, download our free e-book titled 8 Steps to Planning a High ROI Website.

It’ll walk you through the entire process and prepare you so that, when you’re flush again, you’ll have a plan in place for

getting your new website built — one that will actually bring you business.

But whatever you do, take action — now! Because one of two things will happen: ■ Business will pick back up, and your precious free time will be gone; or ■ Business will never pick back up, and you’ll have lost the opportunity to get your business moving again.

The result is up to you.

Consider alternative dispute resolutions ver the past 20 to 30 years, alternative dispute resolution has played an increasingly important role in resolving most business disputes.

To understand why and how ADR could be beneficial to your business when you find yourself faced with actual or potential litigation, you have to start by understanding what ADR is an alternative to.

Simply put, ADR is an alternative to a fully developed lawsuit tried before a judge or jury. In the late 1980s, the Texas Legislature passed statutes officially sanctioning several types of ADR procedures and providing protections for those parties and professionals who choose to participate in them.

The procedures officially sanctioned by Texas statutes include mediation, mini-trial, moderated settlement conference, summary trial and arbitration. More recently, a process generally referred to as collaborative law has become increasing popular, but primarily in divorce cases. Of these procedures, the most often utilized are mediation and arbitration, followed, in my experience, in distant third by collaborative law.

Since it became officially sanctioned by the Legislature, mediation has become by far the most common form of ADR. This is largely because of its effectiveness.

Judged from a trial court’s perspective, mediation is successful when a case is resolved and thus off the court’s docket.

Measured this way, mediation is successful 80 to 90 percent of the time. Because of this overwhelming success rate, most courts require a mediation before they will permit a case to go to a jury trial.

Mediation essentially is a settlement meeting that the parties attend in person conducted by a neutral third party, typically a lawyer or retired judge who does not represent either party. The third-party mediator has no authority to decide the dispute, and whether the parties resolve the suit at the mediation

O

Sam BURKE | depends completely upon the parties’ mutual agreement to do so.

The benefits of mediation are many, but in my opinion there are three primary benefits. The first of these is focus. Mediation forces the parties to set significant time aside to concentrate on the dispute. It is human nature to defer dealing with difficult problems and bad relationships. Litigation often arises out of one or both of these.

Mediation forces the parties to focus on the dispute in spite of the unpleasantness of the task.

Second, mediation forces the parties to at least hear a different perspective. Parties to disputes usually are able to better process the other party’s position when they have devoted an extended period of time to focus on the dispute.

In litigation, the parties’ discussions and consideration of the dispute — and sometimes an attorney’s — can become an echo chamber of only like-minded views. You may hear what the other side is saying, but, consciously or not, you can quickly move on to other things without really considering or processing whether it has any merit.

Mediation, particularly with a good mediator, can help the parties break free from their typically narrow, black-and-white view of what happened and who is responsible.

Finally, because mediation is a forum for settling disputes, it forces the parties to consider what they want. Do they really want to continue with the litigation? Sometimes, the inertia of the decision to bring a lawsuit needs to be broken. Do they want to focus on trying to salvage

a business relationship or attempt to maximize a recovery in the lawsuit? If available, do they want to consider alternatives to resolution that a court cannot provide?

Surprisingly often, these questions have not been given the attention they deserve, and mediation forces the parties to provide answers.

Arbitration differs significantly from mediation. Arbitration replaces the judge or jury with an arbitrator who will decide who wins and who loses in the dispute. Arbitration typically arises out of a prior agreement of the parties.

For example, many real estate contracts contain clauses that require the parties to arbitrate any dispute arising from the agreement. Texas courts are extremely differential to such contractual provisions and typically will enforce them if either party requests it. Ten to 15 years ago, arbitration was a favored forum for many large businesses.

This trend has waned.

When a dispute has limited scope or requires special expertise, arbitration can be beneficial for both parties. However, it has proven to be more costly than court-supervised discovery and litigation. When you arbitrate, you have essentially decided to pay a private judge, and sometimes his court staff, instead of utilizing a court system that is taxpayer-funded.

In my opinion, when used by big business today, arbitration clauses are used to prevent disputes from being decided — specifically class-action lawsuits — rather than providing an alternative forum for their resolution.

Before voluntarily agreeing to arbitrate, you should carefully consider the costs and anticipated benefits and, if possible, tailor the process to your dispute. For instance, using experts in a specialized or technical field to serve as arbitrators can be beneficial in the right circumstances.

Although the Legislature sanctions mini-trials, moderated settlement conferences and

The Texas Legislature has sanctioned several types of alternative dispute resolution procedures. summary trials, there has been very limited use of these procedures in litigation in Texas. That likely is a consequence of the success of the mediation process and the relative lack of benefits of these processes relative to the cost and risks associated with using them.

Perhaps to fill this void or as a refinement of the idea behind these processes, collaborative law has emerged over the past decade. The collaborative process is party-focused and usually utilized before a lawsuit has been filed. The parties agree to not litigate while they are utilizing the process, and the professionals — including lawyers, accountants and other experts — agree they will not participate in future litigation.

In the business setting, the collaborative approach can have real utility where the parties have, or wish to have, an ongoing relationship and want to preserve

or foster trust.

Where there is little trust and no need or desire for an ongoing relationship, the benefits of the collaborative process likely won’t be sufficient to justify use of the process. An early mediation or settlement conference likely would produce the same results.

In business, disputes are inevitable. We have an excellent civil justice system that is the envy of most of the world. However, as part of that process or separate from it, there are alternatives. When you are confronted with a dispute, I recommend that you discuss and consider the alternatives with a lawyer qualified to handle your specific dispute.

‘Brexit’ has implications for investors “In economics, you can never do just one thing. There is always a ‘then what.’”

— Warren Buffett, 2015 ver the past few weeks, we have received several calls and emails from our partners asking about the implications of the “Brexit” vote on their investment portfolio. We thought this month’s article would be a good forum to summarize our perspectives.

First, we should review some basics of Brexit, which is a name given to the British exit from the European Union.

A key point is the difference between the European Union and the eurozone. The EU consists of 28 member states including core continental countries like Germany and France, peripheral countries like Greece, Portugal and Latvia, and major non-continental countries like the United Kingdom.

The biggest benefit of EU membership is its existence as a single market through a standardized system of laws that apply in all member states. These laws aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services and capital within the market.

A subset of 19 EU countries make up the eurozone, where a common currency (the euro) has been adopted and monetary policies are governed by the European central bank.

The U.K. is not part of the eurozone, having maintained its own currency (the British pound) and its own central bank, even while being part of and subject to the larger policysetting body in the European Union.

The financial earthquake of 2008 had its epicenter in the United States, but its shockwaves rocked the whole world. To combat the economic crisis, governments everywhere bailed out their banks, cut interest rates to zero and printed trillions of dollars out of thin air.

For investors, this created what we refer to as a “war on savers.” Prudent, often aging,

O

Jonathon FITE | savers were deprived of gains as savings accounts yielded zero.

Meanwhile, zero interest rates fueled a surge in asset prices such as real estate and stocks.

Inequality grew as asset-rich “haves” prospered while lowerand middle-class “have-nots” were impoverished. Excessive debts and aging populations held back economic growth and pressured government finances.

With this economic backdrop, it’s not surprising that resentful populist movements are sweeping across Western democracies.

Similar groundswells that led to the rise of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders in the U.S. are on the rise across Europe. Left-wing uber-socialists and right-wing neo-nationalists have been gaining support within the borders of major EU power brokers like France and the U.K. Making matters worse, the timing of the vote coincided with a surge in political pressures tied to an influx of refugees, a series of terrorist attacks that many link to loose EU immigration policies, and years of frustration with what appeared to be distant and non-representative EU policy makers.

In 2013, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron made a campaign promise that a referendum would be held on whether Britain should remain in the EU or whether Britain should exit. That promised vote came to fruition June 23.

Let’s delve into our tactical actions around the Brexit vote.

Before the vote, we observed that it would be very close to 50-50. It seemed unwise to bet on any one side with conviction, so we decided to prepare by setting up some protective “hedg-

We figured these cash balances would help if there was some volatility associated with the vote, and give us some more “dry powder” to buy with if shares sold off. If things continued to rally, then holding cash would still be prudent. We also held a modest-sized “short” position in the British pound, expecting that if the vote went to Brexit that the currency likely would also sell off.

After the Brexit vote, the share prices of many companies sold off, and the pound fell to a 30-year low. The most severe sell-off occurred in the European banks. However, by our analysis these European banks are too speculative and risky because they have too much debt and too much exposure to overpriced, risky European bonds.

While shares of companies

like RBS, Barclays and Lloyd’s of London have fallen as much as 40 percent, they are vulnerable to the European banking policies still to unfold. Of particular concern: British banks may become disadvantaged in accessing the European market.

In contrast to European banks, we prefer to own their U.S. counterparts. After nearly destroying the world economy in 2008, U.S. banks have shed their bad loans, reduced debt and become much safer. At the end of June, nearly all U.S. banks successfully passed the latest Federal Reserve stress test.

These U.S. banks are trading at large discounts to their tangible book value and have been authorized to increase their dividend and buy back more shares. If Europe’s turmoil unfairly knocks the share price of U.S. banks, we would pick up more shares, even while the companies were buying back their own shares at great, accretive prices.

In Europe, we continue to believe hard assets are the things to own. Several European real estate markets resemble American real estate of years ago, which was a great time to invest.

Banks are shedding distressed properties at cheap prices, and mortgage rates are near zero. In coming years, this will be a recipe for a big recovery, especially for high-quality properties.

The panic selling shortly after the Brexit vote swept across all companies in the U.K. While most investors were panicking, we were picking up more shares of our European real estate company.

While this is a U.K. listed company, most of its properties are outside of Britain and it has a strong team on the ground in Europe exploiting the crisis by buying properties on the cheap.

Even so, the shares traded at steep discounts to their net worth and we bought more during the Brexit sell-off.

You can stand the heat ...

Denton food trucks brave summer, prepare for new space

Austin St. Truck Stop customers fill the yard behind East Side Denton on July 1.

By Julian Gill | Photography by David Minton

Milykim Garcia took a swig from her water bottle on a nearly 100-degree Sunday afternoon as she worked in the Dumpling Bros. food truck at the Austin St. Truck Stop in Denton.

Garcia moved to Texas from Arizona just weeks ago, and she said working in the food truck during the day has been unbearable at times.

“The ventilation is pretty poor, even though we have our windows,” Garcia said. “It just circulates the heat.”

Months before a new food

truck park is set to open outside the old Ken’s Produce at 410 N. Bell Ave., food truck employees in Denton have kept busy trying to stay cool during sweltering

summer days.

Since the Austin Street park opened in 2014, offering the first plot of land solely dedicated to food trucks in the city, the popularity of such businesses has risen among residents. But according to several Denton food truck owners, including Dumpling Bros. owner John Kang, the intense summer heat greatly affects their bottom line.

“All the food trucks are going

through the same issue,” Kang said. “We have a commercial kitchen on wheels, so if it’s 100 degrees outside it’s about 150 degrees inside.”

Contrary to popular belief, most Texas food truck sales decline noticeably in the summer, Kang said. The heat forces them to have later hours and the overall flow of customers dwindles. Fall and spring are seasons when they really make money, he

said.

July 2016

A new food truck park is being created at the old Ken’s Produce, 410 N. Bell Ave. said.

“You just have to save up during the spring and fall to sustain your summer,” he said.

Rachel Black, owner of the Waffle Wagon, said the heat is difficult on existing employees and makes it harder to hire new ones.

“Sometimes it gets dangerous,” she said. “We have a thermometer that goes to 120, and I’ve seen it maxed out.”

Like other food truck owners, Black has her own way of dealing with the heat. She said her employees are on a steady diet of pickles, water and bananas.

Without air conditioning, trucks typically have personal fans running during the day, but it’s really just a matter of coping until the sun goes down, Black said.

The upcoming food truck park, co-owned by Fort Worth entrepreneur Scott Bonfield, will have a patio area where the trucks can take refuge during

inclement weather. It potentially could serve as shade from the summer heat as well.

Expected to open in late August, the Bell Avenue park will be centered around a late-night bar, similar to the Austin Street park. While cocktail waitresses serve customers on the patio, patrons also can order from the trucks in a free-flowing environment, Bonfield said.

“The whole thing with this is we want to be flexible,” he said, referring to the layout of the space and the hours of operation.

Planners haven’t set hours yet because Bonfield wants to gauge the reaction first.

The bar has its own kitchen, but Bonfield said he wanted to have food trucks there to supplement the space. It’s a concept he and his business partners have tried to perfect in Fort Worth.

“This is just kind of plugging the gaps [of his Fort Worth food TRUCKS | CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Other park amenities include power outlets on the outside of the building for the trucks as well as a grease trap. It will be familyand dog-friendly — a running theme for new bars in Denton — and the selection of trucks will vary from week to week, he said.

Whether or not the new park will pave the way for more Denton food trucks is unclear, but giving them another home will at least offer some consistency amid the daily grind.

Just about every food truck owner will say it’s hard work, and in some cases owning a truck is not the end goal. It can be a stepping stone to becoming a full brick-and-mortar business, as was the case with Flatlanders Taco Co., which closed in May. But if one thing is clear, it’s that food trucks are becoming an integral piece in Denton’s downtown puzzle. And with new bars like Audacity Brew House at Travelstead and the one Bonfield has planned, Denton residents

The old Ken’s Produce on North Bell Avenue is being turned into a bar with a food truck park. The site is just north of McKinney Street and Golden Chick. will have even more indoor/ outdoor locations to choose from.

It may be just a matter of braving the weather.

As currency fluctuations continue to play out and central banks print more money in an effort to boost their economies, we believe picking up hard assets at a discount to their face value will continue to be a good place for new money. (In the aftermath of the Brexit vote, the Bank of England announced that it would likely do another round of monetary stimulus this summer.)

We also are benefiting from exposure to our gold miner position. While this is a small portion of the portfolio, it does provide a nice hedge to this type of monetary mayhem. We have been looking to add additional precious metal exposure, namely in silver because the historic ratio between gold and silver is back to extreme levels. We will keep you posted on that front.

In addition, we think the positive turnaround in other

hard assets like oil, natural gas, shipping and coal prices bodes well for the rest of our hard-asset portfolio in the years ahead.

In the short term, we would not be surprised to see more volatility. But given the cash buffers that we built leading up to Brexit, we are happy to begin putting some of that back to work.

Over the medium term, we are not sure what this means for the euro. There is a case to be made that EU leaders in Brussels realize they have become too bureaucratic and they might implement some reforms. The U.K. might negotiate some affiliate member status and all this could be much ado about nothing.

There’s also a case to be made that this is the first of a series of dominoes to fall that leads to the dissolution of the eurozone as we know it. This latter scenario likely would create a lot more

turmoil in the European banking system as well as in peripheral countries like Italy, Spain and Portugal.

One potentially negative effect could be a short-term rise in the dollar as folks flee to a perceived area of safety. This would increase pressure on the Chinese currency (loosely pegged to the dollar currently), and potentially lead to further devaluation of the yuan. Needless to say, we are avoiding exposure to the Chinese market, but spillover effects may create additional opportunities to deploy cash.

Given this risk, it is unlikely that the Federal Reserve hikes rates again anytime soon. If the election of a new prime minister in the U.K. leads to fairly positive discussions with the eurozone ministers, and the November U.S. elections do not create turmoil in the market, you might see the Fed put rate hikes back on the table by year’s end. It

seems hard to imagine that rate hikes would be on the table before then. That likely would result in a weaker dollar, which again bodes well for hard assets and our U.S. multinationals.

Therefore, our long-term strategy remains unchanged. We will continue to emphasize world dominators, hard assets and interest rate plays. We will monitor our portfolio companies closely, in particular to push for investment catalysts. Where it makes sense, we will continue to engage with the management teams of our portfolio companies, advocating for asset sales and spinoffs where it make sense, or simply to help shape communications to the market so other value investors understand the opportunity we are seeing.

As share prices rise toward our estimates of fair value, we will harvest those positions. This will help build cash to deploy during future periods of market

fear. For those who continue to dollar-cost average into the partnership, we will add selectively to positions still in buying range.

The Brexit vote captured the market’s and the media’s attention over the past several weeks.

The reality is that this will continue to unfold over several quarters, if not years. We will continue to act when it makes sense, and wait for opportunities in between.

Summertime Blues or Summertime Cruise?

We’ve all heard the Alan Jackson song “Summertime Blues”: “Sometimes I wonder what I’m a gonna do, but there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.” Nor is there a cure for a difficult ex-spouse! A difficult ex-spouse can make it impossible for a divorced parent to travel with their child. This is because the other parent’s consent is necessary to obtain or renew a passport for a child or for a child to travel out of the country. If the proper provisions for obtaining a passport for a child and for a child to travel out of the country are not in the court order, then a difficult ex-spouse can prevent the child from traveling.

Some divorced parents can be difficult for the sake of being difficult and unfortunately, passports and travel are an area where we see it a lot. Such difficult parents usually do not have a legitimate reason for preventing the travel and do so to get back at the other parent. Unfortunately, many final custody orders do not contain provisions regarding obtaining a passport for a child or consent to travel out of the country. The rules for obtaining a passport for a child and for a child to travel out of the country have become very strict.

In order to obtain court ordered provisions for passports and out-of-the-country travel, this will require the traveling parent to return to court to obtain such orders.

Unless there are strong reasons why a child should not travel out of the country—for example, medical reasons, dangerous travel conditions, etc.—the courts will more than likely issue orders to obtain a passport and allow the child to travel out of the country.

Minors under the age of 16 cannot apply for a passport by themselves.

Both parents/guardians must appear in person with the minor and provide consent, authorizing passport issuance to the minor. If one parent/guardian is unable to appear in person, then the DS-11 application must be accompanied by a signed, notarized “Form DS3053: Statement of Consent” from the non-applying parent/guardian.

If the minor only has one parent/guardian, evidence of sole authority to apply

for the minor must be submitted with the application in the form of a: • U.S. or foreign birth certificate, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or adoption decree, listing only the applying parent • Court order granting sole legal custody to the applying parent (unless the child’s travel is restricted by that order) • Court order specifically permitting applying parent’s travel with the child • Judicial declaration of incompetence of the non-applying parent • Death certificate of the non-applying parent “Sole legal custody” is one of the requirements for a parent to obtain a passport without the other parent’s

consent; however, most custody orders do not contain sole legal custody, but rather joint custody (termed “joint conservatorship” in Texas). Unless the order says “sole managing conservatorship” then the traveling parent will not be able to obtain a passport without the other parent’s consent.

In addition, many airlines require a “Letter of Consent” to be signed by the other parent no matter what the court orders say. Part of the court’s order would require a parent to sign such a letter. Even if the traveling parent has a passport for the child, most airlines still require this letter. When a mother’s name is not the same as their child’s name, this can cause extra problems at the airport. Any divorcing mother desiring to change her name should consider making the child’s last name their middle name if they ever plan to travel out of the country with their child. The laws are becoming stricter and it is uncertain what the future holds in this regard.

Any divorced parent desiring to travel out of the country with a child needs to ask for passport and travel orders in their final orders. And, any parent desiring to travel should ask the other parent in plenty of time in case they need to return to court to obtain such passport and travel orders.

many as six online orders at a time.

Two of Denton’s three Kroger stores will offer the online shopping service. Those stores are located 1592 S. Loop 288 and at 5021 Teasley Lane.

“We’re confident about investing in the service. The customer has been telling us they are very interested,” said Kelly Carroll, head of ClickList in North Texas. Kroger didn’t say how much it’s spending on stores to make the required changes.

To qualify, stores had to be big enough to handle the staging area for the business and the 20 additional employees who will be working in each ClickList store, Carroll said. Each store is carving out 1,200 to 1,400 square feet to house the new service.

This Kroger in Kingwood added the ClickList service, which is coming to two Kroger stores in Denton. the problems associated with mental health care in Denton County.

Texas Health Resources recently purchased Atrium Medical Center, 3305 Corinth Parkway. The Arlington-based company plans to turn the 62,500square-foot building into a 60bed behavioral health hospital that will offer both inpatient and outpatient care.

The renovations will cost about $13 million and should be completed by June 2017. Developers are in the design stages for

the building, which will be the 17th behavioral health facility in North Texas operated by Texas Health.

According to Ramona Osburn, the senior vice president of behavioral health services for Texas Health, the push for a hospital in Denton County came after the release of a 2013 report by the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute for Texas.

The report said suicide rates in Denton County had more than tripled over the previous three years.
