YogurtBear: Healthy, Delicious and Fun Frozen Yogurt in League City, Texas

YogurtBear, servingYogurtBear frozen yogurt frozen yogurt, is a welcome addition to the HEB-anchored shopping center at I-45 and FM-646 in League City, Texas. The store opened on May 11 of this year, after the owners determined that frozen yogurt was not readily available nearby, and they wanted to share their love of it!

The unique "healthy, delicious and fun" concept flavors not only the delicious yogurt, but also the look and feel of the store. The greater League City area now has frozen yogurt, in 12 yummy flavors.

Since YogurtBear is not a franchise, the owners had to research, develop and coordinate all the details of a business built from scratch, from product line development and implementation to logo design and the look of the restaurant space itself. Their efforts have paid off!

At YogurtBear you will find delicious yogurt, a friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy your yogurt while you linger inside or outside on the sidewalk patio.

Part of the "fun" concept is that at YogurtBear customers get to pump their own yogurt, and free samples are available to help with flavor selection. You can also choose from 40 toppings including fruits, nuts, candies and syrup. The possible combinations are endless and are entirely up to you!

Pump your own frozen yogurtFruit flavored yogurt is nonfat, other flavors (such as coffee or cheesecake) are lowfat, and all contain probiotic live cultured frozen yogurt made from all natural ingredients. Customers are invited to sample the new flavors which are regularly introduced, and provide feedback so the flavor is always "just right". I predict that seasonal flavor selections may become favorites.

Plenty of Seating inside and outside





YogurtBear offers a complimentary punch reward-card for its customers and during Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 12-2:00 pm everyone gets a prize or a discount on yogurt. The convenient location, located next to the UPS Store, has plenty of seating and parking. It is open 7 days a week. Stop by soon and if you can't decide try the green apple, it's scrumptious!

Texas Disabled Veterans Pay NO Property Taxes 2009

Texas Disabled Veterans

There is a new property tax exemption approved by the Texas Legislature for military veterans who are totally disabled or cannot work due to service-related injuries. They will pay no property taxes on their homes. This is effective for the 2009 tax year, and eligible disabled veterans must apply for the tax exemption.

House Bill 3613 provides a total appraised value exemption on the homesteads of Texas veterans who have a 100 percent disability rating or are considered unemployable by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Quick action to update local property tax rolls and ensure eligible veterans receive the new tax break is needed. Please spread the word to help our disabled veterans.

To apply for the tax exemption contact your county appraisal district. Here is the application form for veterans and appraisal districts to use. You can also get information on the Comptroller's Web site at http://www.window.state.tx.us/ .

If there is a mortgage outstanding on the home, veterans should contact their mortgage lenders to have their escrow payments adjusted.
