SPCA TO SEIZE HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS TUESDAY
Acting on several complaints, the SPCA of Texas and Dallas County Constables will seize hundreds of animals, most of which are livestock, from a location in Dallas County Tuesday. A majority of the animals are cruelly confined, the SPCA said. The animals' conditions vary. The living conditions of the majority of the animals are deplorable and are considered cruel confinement. Certain types of animals are regulated by state and federal law, which mandates that each type of animal requires clean living conditions of suitable size. After several attempts to help the animals' owner come into compliance with code, the SPCA of Texas agreed with the Dallas County Constable that immediate action was needed to remove these animals from conditions including cruel confinement, lack of appropriate shelter and lack of/contamination of food and water. To maintain the integrity of the investigation, the SPCA does not divulge the location of the seizure until it has taken place.
MOM MAY FACE MORE CHARGES IN CHILD'S DEATH
A Tarrant County mother, Keashia Matthews, may face murder charges in connection with the death of her infant son.

Matthews eventually confessed to police that she left her boy in her car while she worked -- stepping outside frequently to check on him. At the end of the day, she said he didn't look right, picked up her other two children from school and took the boy to the hospital, where he died. Matthews is already charged with injury to a child.
