    Authorities bust alleged puppy mill with 138 dogs northeast of Dallas

    A seizure was made of an alleged puppy mill in Honey Grove, a tiny town 90 miles northeast of Dallas that unironically calls itself "the sweetest town in Texas."

     

    On January 5, the SPCA of Texas, the Fannin County Sheriff's Office, and the Honey Grove Police Department seized 140 animals living in horrific conditions. The SPCA of Texas took custody of the animals, which included 117 dogs, 21 puppies, and two cats, and transported them to the organization's Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center in Dallas. They'll be examined by medical staff and cared for until a custody hearing takes place.

     

    More than 30 dogs were housed inside the residence on the property, but most of the animals were confined to a structure behind the residence. There, the dogs were living in filthy cages, crates, and kennels, up to three dogs in each. The structure was infested with roaches, which were found crawling all over the dogs and cats housed there.

     

    In one area, the dogs were being housed in feces- and urine-filled wire crates stacked on top of each other. In another area, a makeshift run of feces- and urine-filled pens held the majority of the dogs.

     

    The entire structure was coated in feces and drenched in urine, and the stench of feces and urine was so strong that it caused investigators to gag and could be smelled from well outside the structure.

     

    The animals appear to be suffering from various health issues, including matted fur, fur loss, fleas, dental issues, long nails, ear issues, tumors, and more.

     

    The animal owner admitted to selling the dogs, many of which were small breeds such as Yorkies, Maltese, and Pomeranians. All large-scale animal breeders in Texas are required by law to be licensed and inspected on a regular basis. It is unclear at this point if the animal owner is properly licensed.

     

    The Texas puppy mill bill, known as the Large-Scale Commercial Dog and Cat Breeder Bill, took effect on September 1, 2012. It provides guidelines for the treatment of animals in large-scale commercial breeding operations in Texas, defined as breeders who keep 11 or more breeding females or sell 20 or more puppies or kittens a year.

     

    The law specifies that certain parameters exist for such animals, including feeding, space, shelter, ventilation and medical care, and is administered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

     

    A better law would ban these kinds of operations altogether.

     

    The SPCA of Texas' Animal Cruelty Investigators and the Fannin County Sheriff's Office were alerted to the situation by Child Protective Services, who were on the property on another matter. CPS sent a complaint of suspected animal cruelty.

     

    The SPCA of Texas' Investigators and the Fannin County Sheriff's Office visited the property on January 5. Seeing the circumstances, they agreed that it was in the animals' best interest to seize them, and took the information to a judge who granted a search and seizure warrant.

     

    A custody hearing will be held on Friday, January 12 at the Fannin County Justice of the Peace in Bonham, with Honorable Judge Royce W. Smithey presiding.

    3 affluent Dallas neighbors dominate new list of wealthiest U.S. suburbs

    This over-the-top mansion in University Park is on the market for $7.2 million.

    Three well-to-do Dallas-area communities - University Park, Southlake, and Colleyville - are among the wealthiest suburbs in America in 2025, a new report has confirmed.

    The three affluent Dallas neighbors were lauded in GoBankingRates just-released ranking the 50 wealthiest U.S. suburbs, based on 2022 and 2023 average household income data sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau.

    University Park ranked as the sixth wealthiest suburb for the second consecutive year, while Southlake moved up into the No. 7 spot after earning a No. 13-rank in 2024.

    Meanwhile, Colleyville made its 2025 debut on the list as the 47th wealthiest American suburb.

    Compared to last year's report, the average income for a University Park household has increased by $8,633, to $389,868. The value of the typical home in this affluent Dallas enclave is in the seven-figure range, surpassing $2.45 million in May, which the report noted is 5 percent higher than it was this time last year.

    University Park's prosperity is no secret; it ranked as the fourth wealthiest U.S. suburb in GoBankingRates' 2023 report.

    Southlake (No. 7) made a substantial climb up the chart from its 2024 rankings, as did its average household income ($382,520 compared to $360,078 last year). The typical home value for a Southlake home in May came out to more than $1.29 million, up from $1.24 million in the 2024 report.

    Earlier this year, Southlake nearly topped a separate list of the best suburbs to live in America, also in part thanks to its residents' high median income.

    Newcomer Colleyville (No. 47) entered the 2025 rankings with an average household income of $265,831 according to GoBankingRates' findings, and a typical home value of $923,032.

    Dallas-Fort Worth was the only metro in Texas to have three entries on this year's list.

    Elsewhere in Texas
    Two Houston-area suburbs, West University Place and Bellaire, were returnees in the 2025 report. West U held on to its top-three spot for the second year in a row, while Bellaire moved up two places and is now the 23rd most affluent American suburb.

    The top 10 wealthiest suburbs in America for 2025 are:

    • No. 1 – Scarsdale, New York (New York City)
    • No. 2 – Rye, New York (New York City)
    • No. 3 – West University Place, Texas (Houston)
    • No. 4 – Los Altos, California (San Jose)
    • No. 5 – Alamo, California (Oakland)
    • No. 6 – University Park, Texas (Dallas)
    • No. 7 – Southlake, Texas (Fort Worth)
    • No. 8 – Hinsdale, Illinois (Chicago)
    • No. 9 – Orinda, California (Oakland)
    • No. 10 – Wellesley, Massachusetts (Boston)
