IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Happy Tuesday, New Braunfels! Hope your week is off to a good start so far. There’s a lot to take in this week, from brass-packed Fat Tuesday celebration to a Beatles night built for singing along and a cozy creative morning with coffee in hand, there’s something happening at every speed. Let’s lock in your plans.

🩺 TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH COVERAGE BEFORE COSTS CONTROL YOU

Healthcare costs keep climbing, and for many Texans, that’s meant putting off doctor visits or skipping care altogether. When plans feel complicated and call centers leave you more confused than confident, it’s easy to feel stuck.

Penn Mallery works directly with Hill Country families and small businesses to simplify the process. He breaks down coverage options in plain terms, helps compare plans side by side, and focuses on solutions that fit real budgets, not sales quotas. It’s local guidance, personalized support, and clarity you can actually use.

IMPROVE YOUR WATER BEFORE HARD WATER TAKES ITS TOLL 💧

In New Braunfels, hard water is not a maybe. It is a guarantee. Mineral buildup can quietly impact your appliances, plumbing, water taste, and even your skin and hair over time. Clear water does not always mean clean or balanced water.

That is why we partner with Aqua-Man Water Conditioning. With more than 30 years of experience serving the Hill Country, they design custom filtration and conditioning systems built specifically for local water conditions. The result is better-tasting water, longer-lasting appliances, and a home that runs more smoothly day to day.
