Greek life will soon resume at Texas State. Activities have been suspended for the past three months following the death of a Phi Kappa Psi fraternity pledge. Bobcat Update's Bryson Hennington has the story.

Talia Johnson-Watkins
The City of San Marcos has new technology to help enforce parking regulations. The system is called L-P-R, which stands for License Plate Recognition. L-P-R automates the process of issuing citations where there is time-limited parking. Talia Johnson-Watkins has more.
The L-P-R scanner takes pictures of a car's license plate and records the exact location of the vehicle when it's parked. If the car is parked there longer than the time limit, the L-P-R scanner notifies a parking enforcement officer who then issues a citation. Economic Development Administrator Kevin Burke says using the scanner will help create greater access to parking spots.
Burke SB
Many employees and business owners downtown have expressed interest in the new system. Gil's Boiler employee Victoria DeLeon says the lack of enforcement of parking regulations has been a problem.

DeLeon says parking lots aren't employee friendly because those who work downtown have to pay.
