Plano police need your help to solve a kidnapping case that was a close call for a 10-year-old boy.
They released a surveillance video on Saturday showing a suspect getting out of a car at a gas station, walking toward the door, then later getting back in the car and driving away.
Police said the man stole a car that was left running Friday afternoon at Preston Road and Park Boulevard with a boy and a family pet inside.
The suspect stopped at a gas station about two-and-a-half miles south, at the corner of Preston and Frankford roads in Dallas, at 4:07 p.m. leaving the vehicle for a short time.
That gave the boy a chance to escape and call for help at a neighboring restaurant. The events were recorded by security cameras.
The vehicle was revoered nearby, but the suspect got away.
WASHINGTON -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has vetoed a bill meant to prevent wage discrimination against women.
An aide to state Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D), who authored the equal pay bill, HB 950, said Perry's office called on Friday to say he had vetoed it. State Sen. Wendy Davis (D), who introduced the Senate version of the legislation, told the Texas Tribune that she had received the same call.
In a statement, Thompson said she was "deeply disappointed" and "heartbroken."
"Women will still have to struggle to receive their equal pay for their equal work," she said.
Bennigan’s has been opening one restaurant a month since Paul Mangiameletook the helm in summer of 2011. But Mangiamele, who has been working to revive the company from its 2008 bankruptcy, has his sights set on much more than just bringing back an outdated brand. He’s planning to introduce a prototype for the new Bennigan’s in early fall as well as relaunch Steak & Ale Restaurants next year.
“We’ve created a momentum that is increasing,” Mangiamele said. “There’s a pent up demand, my biggest challenge is supplying restaurants in a disciplined nature.”
The new Bennigan’s prototype will focus on three things, according to Mangiamele: fun, energy and vibe.

t's not your imagination. Retail health clinics are a common sight in Houston today, and a new report says the Affordable Care Act will double the number of clinics nationwide by the end of 2015.
New York City-based Accenture (NYSE: ACN) said in a report this week a wave of newly insured patients — as a result of the ACA — will spur growth of retail clinics across the country.
Smokers cost their employers nearly $6,000 a year more than staff who don’t smoke, researchers said on Monday in what they say is the first comprehensive look at the issue.
And in what some might see as a dark twist, they’ve taken into account any savings that might come because smokers tend to die younger than non-smokers, drawing less in pension costs.
The findings support a growing trend among employers to not only ban smoking in the workplace, but to refuse to hire smokers in the first place, argues Micah Berman of Ohio State University, who led the study.
Dallas area home prices rose 7 percent year-over-year this spring to a median home price of $169,900, even as housing inventory continued to dwindle.
North Texas' housing inventory, or homes listed for sale on the market, decreased 33 percent, according to a report released Tuesday from ZipRealty, which measured MLS housing data from Feb. 15-March 15.
The rising home prices, coupled with the dwindling number of listings, has created a frenzy that's being seen not just in Dallas, but throughout the country, said Lanny Baker, president and CEO of ZipRealty.
Last year, Texans bought almost 4,300 personalized license plates that generated $9.6 million in revenue for the state. Vanity plates start at $70 each, but can cost as much as $800 for a 10-year plate, but just because you're paying for a vanity plate doesn't mean you can get whatever you want.
NBC 5 learned some drivers have been turned down after officials with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles determined their license plates could be interpreted as something objectionable.
David Owen is one of the unfortunate 544 Texans whose plate application was rejected last year.
Fort Hood massacre suspect Army Maj. Nidal Hasan argues that he sought to protect Taliban leaders during a shooting rampage at the sprawling Texas military base that killed 13 people.
Representing himself against murder charges, Hasan explained his "defense of others" strategy at a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday without offering details, according to a statement from the military base.
That prompted the military judge overseeing the long-delayed court-martial to give him a day to present any facts to underpin his case, the statement said.
Judge Col. Tara Osborn will at that time consider Hasan's request for a three-month delay to further prepare his arguments.
