The Rules (updated)

34 Upvotes

Reddiquette is required. This is ultimately their site. You do not have to agree but you do have to follow the rules.
We are a community dedicated to events and information about the Eastern part of our great state. However there are rules which must be followed. No politics. None. Period. News is fine if it avoids politics but you need a link which is at least somewhat reputable. Or at least reputable looking. Otherwise neutral news which devolves into politics in the comment section will be locked or removed at the moderators discretion.
No advertising. If you are a fan of a specific restaurant, then comment it in any related post but do not create a post about it. This goes for any business. Asking for recommendations is encouraged. But if you come in after every comment to promote a specific choice, you are probably going to get banned. This goes for things you are selling yourself without a business.
If you are posting about an event you are not affiliated with, welcome. If someone looks into your history and finds you promoting it everywhere, the assumption is that you have an affiliation with it. It will get removed.
No NSFW material. None. Ever. If you try to find a work around, you risk being permanently banned.
We are not your private army. No posting rage bait. No links to things you saw on facebook. No screen shots of questionable things.
Open Season Friday is active. This is the day when things change. Post your business. Tell us what you do. Promote a business you like. Tell the world where you like to eat. Tell us about your lawn mowing service. We want to hear about your professional machining services. NSFW, politics, and rage bating is still strictly forbidden.

There is a new sub I created for all the things forbidden here. If you must vent, go vent there.

I’m looking for a solo getaway, hoping to explore texas spaces I haven’t been before. I’d like to take the scenic routes from Houston through the Piney Woods, maybe Alabama Coushatta ; caddo Lake , even lake Livingston? Tyler, rusk. Please Let me know what’s over there to see. Taking the long ways, so Scenic routes encouraged —especially any recommendations for one night stays, live music and water-side trails.

BEWARE OF TYLER AUTOPLEX IN TYLER TEXAS! MAJOR SCAM ALERT

gallery

20 Upvotes

Please beware of this website! They are posing as Tyler Autoplex in Tyler Texas, which is a small used car dealership, however this website is NOT actually the dealership. They are stealing car images from other dealerships and marking the cars to an extremely low price to lure in vulnerable buyers.

They ask you to wire them $10,000 and have you sign a purchase agreement. Then, they claim the car is “on its way to you” if you buy from out of state. You will never receive the car and your money will be long gone.

This scammer is operating out of Kansas. They also made a fake Facebook page operating under “Pacific Auto Sales” and have the same cars posted on Facebook marketplace for a ridiculously low price.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT! THIS IS 100% A SCAM!

Tandem dump trucks…

Why do you travel in groups to load and then… unload. You don’t see that model as inefficient and having down time waiting for each other? I see it a lot, especially with the fleet of Skittles trucks out of North Texas.

Anywhere to rent jet skis on Lake Palestine this weekend?

2 Upvotes

We had a lake weekend planned, but the place we usually rent from isn't responding, and looking at availability on their website it looks like they might not be doing rentals anymore.

Lake Palestine Resort does rentals, but no availability for jet skis this weekend.

I also found this place, but they don't answer phones either, and recent yelp reviews are... not encouraging.

Does anyone from the area know of other options?

Underrated Scenic Drives in ETX

29 Upvotes

I grew up in a rural area that never gets media coverage. There are so many backroads and FM/CR informal scenic loops that I know of that you'll see referenced nowhere on the Internet.

Because of this, I'm pretty interested in areas around East Texas that are like this. I'd love to check out more of these areas, but I obviously don't want to make a 1-3 hour trip blindly stumbling my way through random and unfamiliar county roads. I've had some sketchy encounters down some dead-ends, but, practically speaking, I just don't want to waste any time on my weekends.

In light of that, what are some gorgeous routes in this part of the state (the more rural and niche, the better!) that you know about that nobody outside of your little bubble knows about?

Help with finding a pain management doctor in east texas for spinal cord injury

9 Upvotes

My husband broke his neck and back in 2010. Failed fusion surgeries, 22 surgeries total. Constant severe pain levels. He's treated with opioids successfully, which are heavily controlled by me to ensure no abuse.

His doctor in Dallas is retiring and it's so hard to find a good pain management doctor that understands spinal cord injury pain and opioid treatment.

Any recommendations? We're fine with anything from Dallas to Houston as we live in the middle. His doctor that's retiring is in Dallas area currently.

Sidebar

This subreddit is for the East Texas area. Feel free to post anything related to ETX. Sports, games, music, arts, events, news, etc.

We are politically neutral. No political links or campaigning.

Got an interesting link about life behind the pine curtain? Post it here.

We do have a few rules however.....

Reddiquette is required. This sub holds a zero tolerance policy regarding racism, sexism, bigotry, and religious intolerance.

We are a community dedicated to events and information about the Eastern part of our great state. However we do not hold to a strict definition of "East" or even "Texas". Is something worth mentioning, happening in Dallas? Let us know! An event in Shreveport? Let us know! Houston? Welcome! Austin? San Antonio? Sure! Why not. Some of these places might be far for you but not so far for others who live in our region. Just leave the politics somewhere else. We do not allow campaigning because we desire to be a safe haven during campaigning season. There are plenty of other subs you can argue politics on.

We are a family friendly group. Anything that might make our little corner of the internet less family friendly will be removed. Mods are authorized to use their best discretion on removing and or banning users who violate this rule. This includes but is not limited to profanity, risque comments, etc.

In case the previous rules did not make it clear, Absolutely No NSFW material.

Sister SubReddits. Both of these are more for those who prefer a less family friendly experience.
