His mom — estranged says Drew — is something of a fast-buck artist. Mina Brees’ latest scheme? Demanding $25,000 from Houston area restaurants in exchange for the continued use of their business name.

Brees evidently is trying to trade on the state’s “assumed name” statute even though an attorney for the Texas Restaurant Association says that is total misreading of the law.

Better sack Drew a lot just to make sure.
