Is your teen driving to school this year? Even the safest young drivers can end up in a fender bender, and most don’t know what to do next.
Here’s a quick guide to share with them:
• Call 911 – Report the accident and request help if anyone is hurt.
• Don’t admit fault – Avoid saying “I’m sorry” or guessing what happened. Let insurance and investigators handle that.
• Take photos or video – Document the scene, vehicle damage, road signs, and anything else that helps tell the story.
• Exchange information – Get the other driver’s insurance, license plate number, and contact info.
Tip: Print this list and keep it in the glovebox. Being prepared can make all the difference.
The team at Kyle Law Firm is always here if you need guidance after a serious crash. Local, experienced, and focused on what’s best for your family.

It’s time to register your neighborhood party!
Get ready to connect with neighbors and local first responders during this year’s National Night Out, coming up on Tuesday, October 1. The City of New Braunfels and the Police Department are inviting residents across the city to take part in this annual celebration of community and safety.
If you're planning a neighborhood get-together, you can register your block party with the City to receive a visit from New Braunfels Police and Fire crews—always a hit with kids and adults alike!
Or, come out to the big community event at the Westside Community Center, featuring family activities, live demonstrations, crafts, and more. Whether you’re hosting your own gathering or joining the fun at the library, this night is all about building stronger, safer neighborhoods in New Braunfels.
Jerseys, community support, and a special pitch from Manu Ginobili
Baseball and community spirit come together on Saturday, August 9, when the San Antonio Missions take the field wearing high school jerseys from Center Point, Comfort, Ingram, and Kerrville Tivy—all areas impacted by recent Hill Country flooding.
These one-of-a-kind jerseys, signed by Missions players, will be auctioned off at the game to benefit the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and help rebuild Ingram’s Little League fields.
Adding to the night’s excitement, Spurs legend and Missions co-owner Manu Ginobili will throw out the ceremonial first pitch to a student-athlete from one of the impacted schools.
It’s a special chance to enjoy a great night of baseball at Nelson Wolff Stadium (first pitch at 7:05 pm) while giving back to families and youth sports programs affected by flooding.
