And finally, there's an area that I'm really, really sad in one way about, but also excited that's human trafficking. We started a human trafficking union just in January with three lawyers, five investigators and a forensic accountant because Texas, sadly has the second highest incidence of human trafficking in this country. And Houston is the number one city in America. It's something that we need to educate people on. And if we can't educate to stop, we're going to go prosecute them. (09:22–09:31)
