SAN ANTONIO – April 17, 2013, will forever remain a dark day in the history of West, Texas.

A fertilizer plant explosion killed more than a dozen people and leveled a large part of the town.

On Thursday, a San Antonio law firm donated $1 million to public schools in the small town to help them continue their recovery.

represented West Independent School District in a lawsuit against the district’s insurance company, after three of its four schools were severely damaged by the blast.

The donation will be used specifically for extracurricular activities.
