San Antonio – – October 12, 2026 -- Drivers shopping for window tint in South Texas can avoid underperforming film by checking specifications, warranty terms and infrared rejection data before buying, according to a new HelloNation feature.

Marco Escamilla and Hilary Escamilla of Platinum Auto Films in San Antonio explain that not every film labeled "ceramic" delivers what buyers expect.

Real ceramic film blocks heat without metal

Genuine ceramic tint is a non-metallic film that uses ceramic particles to block heat and UV rays. It keeps its clarity and color and does not interfere with onboard electronics. Metallic tints, by contrast, can block GPS or phone signals.

Cibolo – September 17, 2026 -- Family Care Center has opened a new outpatient behavioral health clinic in Cibolo, Texas, giving patients in-network access to therapy, psychiatry, medication management, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) under one roof.

San Antonio – – September 11, 2026 -- Complex breast implant revision surgery is not a simple swap of one implant for another, according to Dr. Gary Lawton, a Yale-trained, American Board of Plastic Surgery-certified surgeon practicing in San Antonio. Dr. Lawton, who has performed tens of thousands of breast implant operations over more than 25 years, says durable correction depends on the surgeon first reconstructing the history and mechanics of the original operation before making an incision.
