		<description><![CDATA[Even with Memorial Day thrown in, this has been an interesting week. We managed to get a foreclosure stopped on Tuesday while we are working on a short sale for the homeowner. The foreclosures in Texas are the first Tuesday of the month regardless if it’s a holiday or not.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I wrote about Cap and Trade legislation, H.R. 2454, (American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009) passed in June 2009 by 211 Democrats and 8 Republicans in the House and then sent on to the Senate.

I have written letters, e-mails, even tried to get help with some of my clients, all to no avail. (I&#8217;m still mad about my clients not receiving help.)
