Commissioner Wheeler joined friends and colleagues at San Jacinto River Authority SJRA to celebrate Ed Shackelford’s retirement. Ed has given so much throughout his career to the engineering profession and the water industry, leaving a lasting impact on our community and the many people he has worked alongside. Wishing him all the best in this well-deserved next chapter!

Due to anticipated rainfall from Tropical Storm Edouard, the Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center and Kevin Brady Community Center will be closed tomorrow.

Precinct 3 offices will be closed to walk-in traffic, but staff will remain available by phone and email. Precinct 3 crews will be on standby and ready to respond as needed.

Please stay weather-aware and use caution on area roadways.

All non essential offices are closed tomorrow to ensure the safety of our employees. Our essential public safety departments will function like normal. If you have any business with a county agency or department tomorrow (September 2) please check with them prior to going to their office.

We expect Tropical Storm Edouard to move out of the area fairly quickly tomorrow and the threat for excessive rain will diminish by the end of tomorrow.

Stay safe!
