City of Decatur, TX - City Hall

The Decatur splash pad located at Memorial Park is currently closed due to weather conditions.

City Hall will be closed on Friday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth. Regular business hours will resume on Monday, June 22.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The day serves as a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.

We encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this important day in our nation's history.

Have a safe and meaningful Juneteenth holiday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Advisory for portions of Wise County, including northern areas of Decatur, until 11:00 a.m. today.

Heavy rainfall associated with thunderstorms has produced between 1 and 2 inches of rain across parts of the region, with an additional 1 to 2 inches possible this morning. Minor flooding may occur in low-lying areas, along creeks, and in locations with poor drainage.

Residents are encouraged to use caution when traveling and remain aware of changing conditions. Never drive through flooded roadways. Even shallow water can be dangerous and may conceal roadway damage.
