"I'm worried about my kids, my grandkids, and my mom," said Tina Esquivel.

NEVADA, Texas — Tina Esquivel is feeling a lot of things as she walks through her charred living room. There isn't much left after the Tuesday fire. What hasn't been claimed by fire, is drenched, caked with ash or ruined by smoke.

"I'm worried about my kids, my grandkids, and my mom," said Esquivel.

The Esquivels have lived in their Nevada, Texas home for 12 years. The family of 10 has made many memories in the home, and they were excited to get together for Christmas.

"We were all going to get together here. This has put a big damper on everything," said Esquivel.

She said the house can be rebuilt, and said she's mostly thankful to have her family alive and well. She shared the home with seven other adults, including her three children, her mother, and two grandchildren -- ages 7 and 3 months.

Esquivel was most concerned for her elderly mother, who is on oxygen and disabled. She was in the home at the time of the fire and was rescued by a neighbor named Matt Reising.

Reising is a complete stranger, and a former Marine who sprung into action.

"I just pulled in, parked, I was on 9-1-1 and I heard voices. At that point, I went in," said Reising.

Thanks to Reising, no one was hurt.

Esquivel's daughter, who is expecting, was also in the home at the time of the fire. She is OK.

There is never a good time to lose most everything, but there are worse times -- being that it's just days before Christmas. The gifts under the tree for the grandkids are ruined. This family of 10 is now split up -- staying with friends and other family.

"Strike the holidays, just being together now... that's what we're worried about, just getting back together," said Esquivel.

She told WFAA that getting the home fixed up will take at least six months. Thankfully, they do have insurance.

It's unclear what started the fire, but Esquivel said it is likely electrical.

It is in these times, in these holidays, we are reminded of what is important, and especially who.

"I always fix everything, and this is one thing I don't know how to fix," said Esquivel.

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vistaprint, the leading online provider of professional marketing products and services to small business owners, plans to open a new 322,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Southern Dallas to support its continued growth in North America and further improve the Vistaprint customer experience. The company expects to invest $50 million over the next couple of years in the new site near the International Inland Port of Dallas and aims to have initial sections of the plant up and running by the end of 2019. The plant is due to reach its full production potential by 2023. The investment will include building costs as well as the equipment used to produce customer orders.

This will be Vistaprint’s third manufacturing facility in North America and second in the U.S., adding to locations in Windsor, Ontario and Reno, Nevada. The Dallas facility will enable Vistaprint to reduce the company’s shipping costs and provide improved value to its customers by shortening delivery times. Having a third location also offers redundancy in the event of a natural disaster or other major issue that might hinder production, ensuring Vistaprint can continue to serve its customers without interruption.

“We view this expansion of our manufacturing capabilities as an investment in both our business and in the satisfaction of our customers. As they increasingly demand service on their terms, our new Dallas facility provides a great opportunity for us to exceed their expectations,” says Christian Vaillant, VP Manufacturing North America at Vistaprint. “When we opened our Windsor plant in 2005 our global annual revenue was around $100 million. Today it’s around $1.5 billion and growing, so we need to put ourselves in the best possible situation to continue supporting that growth. Additionally, we’re proud that the new plant will offer a major benefit to the surrounding area through high-quality job creation and training opportunities.”

By 2023, Vistaprint expects to employ around 600 full-time employees at the new site, including operators, engineers and administrative professionals. An additional 120 seasonal, temporary positions will be available to service times of peak demand. With a robust job training program in place, Vistaprint and the City of Dallas are working together to fill manufacturing job opportunities at the new facility.

Vistaprint estimates that Phase I of construction of the leased facility will be completed by the end of 2019 and will create 200,000 sq. ft. through an initial investment of about $15 million. The phase II expansion will increase the size of the facility to 322,000 sq. ft. with construction estimated to be completed by 2021.

Several big-name tech companies -- including Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPE) -- have recently announced plans to move their headquarters from Silicon Valley to Texas.

Sure, Texas has no state income tax, but that's not the entire appeal. After all, several other states have no state income tax, including some that are closer to California. In this Fool Live video clip from our Dec. 14 Industry Focus show, host Jason Moser and Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel, CFP, discuss what's so appealing about Texas that it is attracting so many big companies.

Jason Moser: Interesting question here from Amir and I was thinking Arizona as well, but he says, "Why not Nevada? It's right next to California and also no state income tax." Just my two cents, but because Nevada is right next to California, there is probably the concern that you could see some of that California sprawl, so to speak. That same politics that are causing folks to leave, you could see with a state that's adjacent, versus getting out of that area altogether and saying, you know what? We've had it, we're going some place where we know there's a proven track record for thinking about things a little bit differently. That would be my guess. [inaudible] to get to get away from it.

Matthew Frankel: I'd say it's a lack of major cities that already have a tech community. Nevada has Las Vegas, but they're not a tech hub. They don't have a Dallas, or a Houston, or an Austin that already has a big tech presence. In my opinion, that's why a lot of companies are picking Texas. Texas is not the only state without no state income tax, you're right. There's Florida.

Moser: Is Arizona?

Frankel: I don't think Arizona is on the list, but I know Florida is.

Moser: It does have a state income tax. Never mind. I wasn't sure.

Frankel: Is Tennessee on the list? I think Tennessee is on the list.

Moser: I think may be. I think there may by more than Nashville.

Frankel: I could be wrong about that, but I think Tennessee is on the list, there's a few. But Texas has major cities. Dallas and Houston are two of the bigger cities in the country that already have a big tech presence. It's a combination of the no income tax with having a built-in tech hub to build up.

Moser: Austin is a place that's driving a lot of people.

Frankel: It is. A few of them went to Austin.

Moser: Yeah. Austin is a nice place. It's a lovely city.

ROCKWALL, Texas– Two and half years after acquiring 1.5-acres of land in Rockwall’s Historic Downtown district, Siren Rock Brewing Company is literally reaching new heights as the vertical construction phase begins on its new 13,000 sf brewing facility near Lake Ray Hubbard, right across from Rockwall’s City Hall.

Siren Rock, located at South Goliad St. & TX Hwy 66, is only the third new ground-up construction brewery in DFW in a decade and the beginning of what Rockwall residents believe will continue to grow and expand the historic downtown. The location is set less than a mile from the lake and within walking distance to many local shops and restaurants, bringing visitors from all over into the local community. Siren Rock will feature a full production brewery, taproom, event space, kitchen and 2 lusciously landscaped beer gardens.

Founders Cory and Eva Cannon have envisioned a truly unique destination brewery which is influenced by their travels studying beer and wine culture in places like Belgium, Netherlands, Czech Republic, South Africa, and Napa Valley. Their visits to brew houses and wineries have evolved into the perfect blend of craft beer, ambiance and design in the forthcoming space.

“During our first trip to Belgium we got a good taste of what a regional brewery does for its community,” said Eva. “These places in Europe become a part of their neighborhood and a gathering destination where everyone is welcome, including dogs. Great conversations happen over pints and long-term friendships are formed. We want to recreate that sense of community, that local gathering place here in Rockwall.”

“We are looking forward to have Siren Rock Brewing Company as a part of our community, and excited to see the long-awaited progress on this fine craft brewery owned by local Rockwall citizens,” said Trace Johannesen, Rockwall City Councilman. “We have been working with Siren Rock for the past three years and Cory and Eva Cannon will no doubt make this a fantastic and lasting addition to our downtown landscape. Siren Rock will attract not only tourists to our area but also other great businesses to our historic downtown district. I can’t wait to enjoy a beer on their patio.”

Siren Rock Brewing Company, which is scheduled to open its doors in Spring 2021, will have a 30-barrel brewing system with state-of-the-art equipment for canning and packaging for distribution. The community will also have some say in which beers get added to the brewery’s brand. Siren Rock Brewing Company will have a core product line featuring the best of their German, Belgian, and American style ales, and the tasting room will feature twenty-four taps of core beers, seasonal offerings, and rotating taproom-only batches. If a particular test batch becomes popular, it might then be added to the core brand.

“We are so excited to share our love of craft beer with the greater Dallas Fort-Worth community, and our hope is to facilitate a new beer destination in historic downtown Rockwall.” adds Cory. “At Siren Rock quality and experiences are everything. We believe that if you work hard you get to play hard. We strive to create a culture that fosters creativity and lets personalities shine.”

At Siren Rock it’s all about Handcrafted Beer and Irresistible Character. We have an unwavering commitment to quality, both in product and life, and our mission is to lure you in with exceptional craft beer and inspire you to relax, indulge a little, and enjoy good company.

Researchers have mapped more than 250 potentially earthquake-causing underground fault lines stretching across 1,800 miles in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in North Texas.

And, they say, they are just as likely to cause earthquakes as previous faults that have done so.

The study, published this week in the journal Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, is the most comprehensive fault information ever compiled for the region, according to a press release from Southern Methodist University, where some of the research was done. The study identified a total of 251 faults in the Fort Worth Basin, but the researchers suspect there are even more.

Earthquakes used to be rare in North Texas. But more than 200 have been recorded in the region since 2008, ranging in magnitude from 1.6 to 4.0. Previous studies have found a link between the quakes and the high volume of wastewater injected deep underground from oil and gas operations. The influx of water has been shown to trigger "dead" faults.

The new research concluded that the faults remain fairly stable if left undisturbed, but poorly managed wastewater injection greatly raises the chances that the faults will slip and cause earthquakes, according to SMU.

“That means the whole system of faults is sensitive,” Peter L. Hennings, lead author of the study at a research scientist from University of Texas at Austin’s Bureau of Economic Geology, said.

Earthquakes in the region have decreased since 2015 as deepwater injection has slowed down, according to a press release from UT-Austin. The researchers pointed out that while the fault system means earthquakes are possible in many areas, none of the quakes that have occurred so far have been major temblors like those that hit California and other areas.

The strongest of the bunch, a 4.0 earthquake, shook Venus, Texas, about 32 miles southwest of Dallas, in May of 2015. While residents reported feeling it, there were only a few reports of very minor damage and no one was injured.

“This study provides key information to allow the public, cities, state, the federal government and industry to understand potential hazards and to design effective public policies, regulations and mitigation strategies,” SMU professor and study co-author Heather DeShon said.

Researchers say that while the new maps are important to understanding the earthquake hazards for Dallas-Fort Worth, they can also be used to study similar impacts in other areas.

Meanwhile, they plan to continue studying the faults under Texas' most populated region.

“In 2020, we will be publishing an updated version of the fault map as well as a comprehensive model that indicates the degree of pressurization that each of the earthquake faults has experienced from wastewater disposal,” Hennings said. “Combined with this current work, the future research will give industry and our regulators powerful tools to use in managing the hazard and reducing risk.”
