There are more payday loan shops than Starbucks in Texas, with 200 right here in San Antonio.
A new studyby the Center for Public Policy Priorities showed that payday lenders in Texas made more last year than ever despite giving out fewer loans.
On the heels of that study the City of San Antonio announced lawsuitsagainst seven payday and title loan companies for allegedly violating its ordinance.
Can San Antonio do more? What can the state do?
