Little d Guitars, a shop that sells and repairs guitars and stringed instruments, reopened on a limited basis in early July after a three-week closure, owner Gregory Lange said.

The context: Lange said he stopped accepting repair work after he underwent shoulder surgery.

The shop is back open and Lange will accept appointments for light repairs and maintenance on stringed instruments like setups, restringing and cosmetic work.

Lange said that he expects to accept work for more intensive repairs by September. 

Lange runs the shop on his own and does all the repair work.

In Texas, 246 of the state’s 254 counties are designated by the federal government as “mental health professional shortage areas,” meaning local law enforcement are often tasked with responding to mental health crisis calls.

The situation: All Texas peace officers are required to complete crisis intervention and deescalation trainings, according to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement.

What's happening: Across Community Impact’s coverage areas, some city and county law enforcement agencies are partnering with local mental health professionals to respond to crisis calls. However, law enforcement and criminal justice leaders from smaller communities told state legislators July 7 that they have “limited tools” to effectively respond to mental health calls and help people in crisis.

“We do not have any inpatient mental health facilities in my county—we've never had that, and we've needed them for decades,” Comal County Criminal District Attorney Jennifer Tharp said July 7. “We originally started out sending individuals to the San Antonio area, and right now we are transporting individuals for inpatient treatment to North Austin.”
