I always strived to be your neighbor first, a reporter second. Neighbors love one another, cheer each other's success & lift each other up in struggle. I start a new chapter tomorrow, filled with excitement but proud of the work we did together in the city I will always love.

For some Houstonians, a good night’s rest is hard to get. It seems even the city's new noise rules aren't enough to make it better. 13 Investigates went to the spot with the most complaints and found surprising problems. Tonight at 10 on @abc13houston

After 21 years here, my family and I made the incredibly difficult decision to leave @abc13houston. Houston has been my home since 2001. For all those years, you welcomed me into yours. Without your tips, your time & most of all your trust, none of this would have been possible.

Cops can find allegedly illegal guns, but when judges toss the case - the guns can go back. 13 Investigates found 1,100 times in the last three years where police charged suspects with unlawfully carrying but the case was dismissed. @abc13houston.

Cops can find allegedly illegal guns, but when judges toss the case - the guns can go back. It's happened 100s of times in Harris County and we want to know why? So does law enforcement? So do crime victims. We're investigating tonight at 10 @abc13houston

It’s been a bad weekend for Houston gun violence. Thankfully many of the victims are surviving, but our investigation reveals finding their shooters will be hard and closing cases harder. See for yourself Monday after @NFL_MNF on @abc13houston
