Well, unfortunately someone out there thinks it cool to steal our barricades that we have out to protect the residence from not seeing rising water in low water crossing areas. So just because you don’t see a barricade don’t believe that it’s OK to cross. 
Those are not intended to be your yard ornaments. They are intended to help protect and save lives …
(Dugosh Rd and Yow Rd have both been taken two different times within 12 hours.)
⚠️Please be smart and use caution ⚠️
Commissioner Gillespie.

As we enjoy this much needed rainfall, I ask that you please use caution around low water areas and please report any dangerous situations to the sheriff department dispatchers.
I currently have barricades in the most common areas that water rises. But again, if you know of an area that needs attention, please report it. It may save a life.
Respectfully
Commissioner Gillespie.

I currently sit on multiple committees that take me across Texas…
To me, this is a very interesting one and I’m sure happy to be a part of it. It’s really important to have a strong team when planning this type of scoring and funding process.
Thank you AACOG for believing in me as your regional representative!

Good evening!!
I just got word that i37 and 3006 exit is shutdown.
I’m not sure of the reason but I’m told there are no signs in place.
Maybe an accident? Maybe construction…?
Anyways, safe travels everyone!!
