Last month, in partnership with Carter BloodCare and the Forney Fire Department, we participated in the Battle of the Badges blood drive, where residents donated blood and voted for their favorite department. Today, we were presented with the plaque for winning the battle! Thank you to Carter BloodCare and everyone in the community who donated and helped make the drive a success!

Currently the water is high at the intersection of FM 1641/FM 548. Motorists traveling north on 1641 must use Rockhound through Fox Hollow to avoid the intersection. Please avoid the area, giving the high waters time to recede.
We ask all motorists to utilize caution when driving on wet roads. If you are unsure of the depth of water, do not go through it, find another route.
Thank you to Forney City Works for their assistance with ensuring streets are safe for passage.

Heavy police presence in the area of Purtis Creek after officers received a call from a citizen reporting that a fight had occurred involving a juvenile suspect who displayed what appeared to be a firearm.

Officers were already in the area when the call came out and were able to quickly locate the suspect as he fled the scene.

The suspect fled from officers on foot but was taken into custody after a brief pursuit. Officers recovered a BB gun from the suspect that was a replica of an actual firearm.

The scene is contained, and there is no threat to the public at this time.
