Commission executive Director
Mike Sheridan. "This process will
benefit both employers and claim-

that offers consistency, efficiency,
and time savings. These changes
will not affect the appeals of tax

The TWC will implement this
project through the creation of call
canters (or Tele-Centers). The first
oCthese centers — the Central
Tsjcas Ttele-Center — will be lo-
cated in Austin, and will employ ap-
proximately 100 persons. Other
locations will eventually be in Dal-
las, El Paso, Fbrt Worth, Houston,
McAllen, and San Antonio, and will
provide service for the entire state.
“Last year, Texans stood in line
about 700,000 times to apply for un-

explained how one of the original
vehicle thermostats worked.
Removing another tool from the
wall, McDouga) said that it was used
to measure the size of buggy spokes,
while another handmade unit was
used to down-size buggy and wagon
wheels. ,
McDougal said that he knows
what most of the tools were used for,
but confessed that not even he
knows what all of them were for. He
added that when he still had the
lawnmower repair shop working,
customers coming in seemed to be
fascinated by the old tools and would
head straight for the display wall.
McDougal said that, if anyone is
interested in seeing the old tools
they are welcome to come by the
shop at 211N. Ave. D or call him at
675-8151.. 1
“We’re here nearly every morn-
ing,” McDougal added/and spoke
about the small antique stove he has
refinished that sits by the wall of
