Rental Junk Fees in Texas

I am curious about the types of "junk fees" that renters are being assessed in Texas. I have seen everything from valet trash fees to $30 per pet fees to register your pets with private services like PetScreening.com. I've even seen completely illegal fees to access your USPS mailbox, fees for Luxor services, RiskRelease, and more.

How many of you pay "junk fees" annually or monthly as part of your lease? What are the fees you are seeing?

Why am I asking? I work for a legislator, and I am doing research on junk fees and rentals. I thought actually asking people about the junk fees they are paying might elicit some new fees we weren't aware of, and help us understand the prevalence of some of the fees we see. TIA!

What models/packages come with puddle lights?

What Silverado 1500 models come with puddle lights? I would like puddle lights on mine (2026 1500 RST) and am curious what models actually have them. It appears if the vehicle isn't already wired for them there is no way to do them. For the models that have them, do the puddle lights come out from the mirrors or the doors?

Car Play won’t show

UPDATE: The only thing that fixed this for me was disconnecting the battery. I left it disconnected about 15 minutes.

2026 Silverado 1500 RST. Turned on the truck with auto start. When I turned it on inside the truck, the AC speed indicator won’t go away and it is blocking me from hitting Car Play or anything else on the console. And while car play works as in the music plays through the system, I can’t get the display up. Totally restarted truck with AC off and the speed indicator is still up and won’t let me fully engage car play. Anyone experienced this?
