State Files Lawsuit Against Cemetery Owner
By: Yami Virgin
The Texas Attorney General's Office has filed a lawsuit against the owner of Southern Memorial Eastview cemetery for violations of the Deceptive Practices Act.
The State claims that Joann Ramon, the owner, buried people without a license since March of last year.
If found guilty the fine is $20,000 per person that was buried at the cemetery.
The lawsuit also looks for a fine of up to $20,000 for every year since 1996 that Ramon has claimed her cemetery was a Corporation.
In March of this year Fox San Antonio first uncovered that Ramon's cemetery didn't have a license to bury people.
Among the claims the state is making is that the cemetery also accepted money from the State's Victims of Crime Program for two people who were killed last year.

Texas police nab suspect in postal worker's death
May 19, 2013 19:58 GMT
HOUSTON (AP) -- Police say they have taken into a custody a man they believe may be linked to the killing of a U.S. postal worker in suburban Houston.
The San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office said on Sunday they had taken 36-year-old James Wayne Ham into custody. Postal inspectors say Ham is a lead suspect in the killing of 52-year-old Marie Youngblood.
The postal carrier's body was found late Friday inside her burned out SUV. Investigators believe Youngblood was shot, and later transported to her burned out Jeep Cherokee.
Inspectors say a postal worker was last killed in Texas about 30 years ago.
