Recordándote

Hace ya tres años que te fuiste y párese que fue ayer, recordando tu sonrisa nos das una alegría y un nuevo amanecer. Quizás por ser como fuiste estamos aferrados a ti, con nuestros recuerdos sigues estando aquí. Tus hijos te recuerdan por el gran padre y amigo que fuiste, yo te recuerdo como el gran esposo y maravilloso amigo que fuiste. Tu fuiste nuestra tristeza y también nuestra alegría; porque tu nos marcaste a cada uno en nuestras vidas. El amor que tu nos diste nunca lo olvidaremos. Por ser el gran hombre que fuiste en nuestros corazones siempre te llevaremos. Te fuiste sin ningún adiós, pero se que desde el cielo nos cuidas con mucho amor.

Se celebrara una misa el Domingo 10 de Julio a las 9:00 a.m. en la Iglesia Inmaculada Concepcion en Rio Grande City, Tx.

Recordándote Con Amor Tu esposa Oralia, tus hijos Antonio (Erika), Alejandra, Cruz Jr., y nieto Toñito

TDLR Cautions: Beware of Scammers Trying To Sell “Required” Posters to Cosmetologists, Barbers and Massage Establishments Rio Grande Valley cosmetologists, barbers and massage establishments are being warned not to fall victim to an apparent fraudster who is trying to sell posters to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation licensees.

The agency has received a report that someone dressed in a uniform similar to a U.S. Postal Service uniform and identifying themselves as a State of Texas employee visited a cosmetology salon in the RGV and asked the owner to purchase a blue-colored poster. The poster contained information on first aid, employee rights and other items.

The man told the owner that they were required to display the poster when TDLR inspects the facility and asked for $64 in cash or debit. He told the owner that if they did not purchase the poster at that time, they would receive instructions on how to send a money order for $84.

TDLR requires cosmetology establishments to display only two posters in addition to their establishment license and operator licenses: a poster with directions on how to file a complaint with TDLR and a

poster on how to recognize human trafficking. All are available for free on the TDLR website: •Reporting complaints: https:// w w w. t d l r. t e x a s . g o v / m i s c / ComplaintSignTDLR.pdf •Stop Human Trafficking (vertical): https://www.tdlr. texas.gov/cosmet/forms/humantrafficking-sign-multi-lang.pdf •Stop Human Trafficking (horizontal): https://www. tdlr.texas.gov/cosmet/forms/ H u m a n % 2 0 Tr a ff i c k i n g % 2 0 Horizontal%20Sign.pdf Inspectors for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation will never request or accept money under any circumstances while calling, visiting or conducting an inspection.

Real TDLR inspectors will: - introduce themselves; - show their State of Texas employee ID card; - provide their contact information upon request; and - provide their TDLR business card upon request.

Real TDLR inspectors cannot and will not: - accept payment for license fees; - request money for violations;

or

- charge for inspections.

TDLR asks that businesses approached by someone posing as a TDLR employee contact TDLR and local law enforcement immediately. Impersonating a public servant is a third-degree felony in Texas.

About TDLR TDLR provides regulatory oversight for a broad range of occupations, businesses, facilities, and equipment in Texas. The agency protects the health and safety of Texans by ensuring they are served by qualified, licensed professionals.
