How much space is in the 2021 Toyota Venza? 

It is understandable if most people struggle to tell various crossover SUVs apart. The popularity of the segment has had the unintended consequence of homogenizing the products of various vehicles. Toyota, as a leader in this space, wants to bring something different to the market while also leveraging its impressive next-generation hybrid technology. This is all very exciting. However, the new Toyota crossover SUV still needs to be functional to be considered by new buyers. So, how much space is in the 2021 Toyota Venza? The Venza will be larger than the existing C-HR but is slightly slimmer than the popular RAV4. Regardless, passengers will be comfortable riding in the 2021 Venza and cargo can be easily held inside of the vehicle. Let’s take a closer look at what it has to offer potential owners.  Read the rest of this entry >>

What is the fine for not wearing a mask in Bexar County, Texas? 

Despite the best efforts and sacrifices of a lot of good people, the COVID-19 virus continues to be a crisis in Texas. Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order at the beginning of the month, ahead of the holiday weekend, that required people to wear face masks and businesses to take steps to protect their employees and customers. Unfortunately, Bexar County has met the grim threshold that has required masks to be worn in public through the area. So, what is the fine for not wearing a mask in Bexar County, Texas? For businesses who flout the order, they can be fined up $1,000 per violation and individuals can be fined as much as $250. Let’s take a look at some information you might need.  Read the rest of this entry >>
