- This is what it's all about, baby!

Alright!

One thing I love about Purtis Creek,

you can always be pretty much

guaranteed you're gonna catch a fish.

Woo-hoo!

- I got me a fish.

- NARRATOR: About an hour's drive southwest of Dallas

is Purtis Creek State Park.

- I love to see kids catch fish.

Yeah, that's great stuff.

- NARRATOR: The main draw here is a 355-acre lake,

and the great fishing that comes with it.

- We have an excellent fishery here.

It's catch-and-release only on the largemouth bass

and that brings a lot of your anglers out,

your professionals and your amateurs,

because they all have a great chance

of catching a really nice fish.

- ANGLER: Oh, look at that!

- NARRATOR: The lake was designed

specifically for fishing and the locals know it as

the Best Little Bass Lake in Texas.

Day and night, anglers flock to Purtis Creek

in hopes of hooking a big one.

[splash]

- MAN: It's a small one.

- GIRL: Get the net!

- MAN: Oh my God, it jumped off, never mind.

It's nice, peaceful, time we enjoy.

- Go back and grow.

[splash]

[dramatic music]

- MAN: Come on, guys!

- NARRATOR: Paddling tours of Purtis Creek

will take you deep into the piney woods.

- Well guys, right now we're actually trespassing,

so we all need to be on our best behavior

and try to sneak out of here where we won't get caught.

We're on the territory now of the beavers.

We had an excellent response to our canoe tours.

You know, you can go to the zoo,

you can see snakes and different wildlife

but out here you're seeing nature is it really is.

- KIDS: One, two, three!

- NARRATOR: For the little ones,

nothing beats a good swimming hole on a hot Texas day.

- JUSTIN RHODES: It's a really nice area for families

to come out.

It's a nice controlled environment

to bring your family out to.

- NARRATOR: And then there are those

who come to Purtis Creek State Park to do...

- WOMAN: Three, four, five, six.

not much of anything at all.

[playful music]

- JUSTIN: Really good people come here.

They're out here to swim, to fish, to canoe.

It's a great outing.

- WOMAN: Good job!

There's a good reason that the form is called

the Seller's Disclosure Notice.

Not the REALTOR®'s Disclosure Notice,

not the Listing Agent's Disclosure Notice.

That's because sellers should fill it out.

Sure, you can help your clients understand the form.

But the sellers should be the one to complete it,

disclosing what they know about the property.

And if something changes about the property after

the seller's disclosure notice is completed--such as

flooding from a hurricane--the seller is

required to disclose that new information.

And if you know that something in the seller's disclosure is not correct,

talk to your clients and explain to them that

Texas real estate law requires you,

as a real estate license holder, to disclose

to other parties any significant defect

you are aware of about the property.

Texas Man Convicted of Helping Attack U.S. Army Base in Afghanistan - Duration: 5:04.

Texas Man Convicted of Helping Attack U.S. Army Base in Afghanistan

  In January 2009, two trucks packed with explosives careened toward the front gate of a remote United States Army base in the Khost Province of Afghanistan.

The first truck exploded near the gate, injuring a pregnant Afghan woman and several others. But the terrorist plot to kill American soldiers was foiled when the second truck crashed into the blast crater left by the initial explosion.

On Friday, a Texas-born man, Muhanad Mahmoud Al Farekh, was convicted of having helped to plan the attack as an operative of Al Qaeda.

After a weeklong trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn, Mr Farekh was found guilty on charges of providing material aid to terrorists.

Born in Houston and raised in Dubai, Mr Farekh, 31, served in Al Qaeda's external operations unit from 2007 to 2014, prosecutors said, where his duties included collecting money for the terrorist group's fighters.

When he was first identified as a Qaeda operative, his case prompted a debate within the U.S. government over whether it was morally and legally defensible to kill an American citizen overseas without a trial.

Although the Pentagon nominated Mr Farekh to be placed on the so-called kill list of terrorism suspects and the Central Intelligence Agency pushed for him to be killed, he was taken into custody in Pakistan in 2014 based on intelligence provided by American officials.

After being questioned by a team of elite terrorism investigators, he was eventually brought to Brooklyn to stand trial.

    At the trial, prosecutors described how Mr Farekh had studied at the University of Manitoba in Western Canada and was radicalized in part by the online sermons of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Islamic cleric who was killed by the C.I.A.

in Yemen in 2011. Prosecutors said that Mr Farekh and two friends, Ferid Imam and Maiwand Yar, traveled to Pakistan in 2007.

There, they said, Mr Farekh joined Al Qaeda, working his way up the ranks, his ascent assisted by marrying the daughter of a top Qaeda leader.   After an attack at Forward Operating Base Chapman on Jan.

19, 2009, forensic technicians were able to recover latent fingerprints from the adhesive packing tape used to bind together the explosive material in the second undetonated bomb, prosecutors said. At least 12 of those prints, they said, matched Mr Farekh's.

Starting in 2012, the Obama administration began a series of discussions about Mr Farekh's fate.

Though American drones had shown him several times in Pakistan in the early months of 2013 and spy agencies were monitoring his communications, the decision eventually was made to spare his life.

Among the witnesses who testified against Mr Farekh was Zarein Ahmedzay who said that while they were in the tribal areas of Pakistan, he had taught Mr Farekh how to handle weapons, like pistols, machine guns and hand grenades.

Mr Ahmedzay took the stand against Mr Farekh under a cooperation agreement with the government reached after he pleaded guilty in 2010 to planning an attack on the New York City subway system.

Mr Farekh will face up to life in prison at his sentencing scheduled for Jan.
