Friends of Joe and Becky Alcorta, who lost their home in Early Wednesday morning to a fire, have set up a benefit account at TexasBank.  The family did not have homeowners’ insurance, according to Fire Marshal Buddy Preston.  Those wishing to make a monetary donation may go to any TexasBank location and make a deposit in the “Becky Alcorta” account.
