Deviyoun Williams isn’t a bad kid; he’s just like any other 13-year-old who questions authority, flexes his independence, and wants to know why things are done the way they are done.
Sometimes his behavior and constant questioning proved difficult for teachers and family, who could have just thrown a blanket of discipline on him to impose obedience. Law enforcement could have tagged him as a potential offender and put him under a microscope waiting for that first slip.

But thanks to a new program targeting youth on the fringe of delinquency, Deviyoun has a better understanding of the laws and their consequences, potentially leading to him to make better decisions.
Alicia Landry, wife of longtime Dallas Cowboys football coach Tom Landry, died Thursday. She was 91.
As a teen, the then Alicia Wiggs attended both Hockaday and Highland Park High School before moving to Austin for college, where she met her future husband at the University of Texas.
“A sorority sister encouraged her to go on a blind date with a handsome UT football player named Tom Landry,” her obituary, published at Dignity Memorial’s website, said. “It was a match literally made in heaven.”
Landry led the Longhorns to an Orange Bowl win, then almost immediately afterward the two walked down the aisle, marrying in 1949.
