Jewish law recommends having Mezuzot and Tefillin checked from time to time (ideally, twice every seven years) to ensure that they remain kosher. Time and weather can take their toll on these items, sometimes causing the perfectly handwritten letters to crack or otherwise become damaged and unkosher.
A special convenient opportunity for checking Mezuzot and Tefillin is coming up soon, as two expert scribes ("Sofrim") will be coming to Houston on Monday, Aug 11 (staying for a few days) and will be offering this service for a small fee.
