Bowie Memorial still seeking viable bidder by Feb. 15 deadline
By BARBARA GREEN
Bowie Hospital Authority Trustees sold one property Thursday, but they are still waiting to get a viable bidder for the hospital as the Feb. 15 deadline approaches.
It has been a rough road for the hospital board since the closure in late November. The first attempt to sell the hospital fell through when the prospect would not commit to the sale or provide confirmation of financing.
That led the board members to go back to the drawing board to bid out the hospital, but after all the delays they also set a final date to seek for a sales contract as its resources dwindle.
Lynn Heller, chief executive officer, conferred with the board in executive session Thursday afternoon for about one hour to discuss real property.
Although no action was taken, Heller said they have at least three qualified people interested in purchasing the hospital. Read the full story in the weekend News.

After a handful of days with rain chances, this upcoming work week will be dry and hot. Afternoon temperatures will rise back into the 90s and 100s, with heat indices between 100-110 by midweek. (U.S. National Weather Service)

Judges have been named for the two cases involving 97th District Attorney Casey Hall, including the indictment for theft and a petition for removal as DA.
On July 11, Judge David L. Evans, presiding judge for the Eighth Administration Region of Texas, assigned E. Lee Gabriel to handle the indictment case against Hall. The judge then named Bruce McFarling for the removal petition case.
The two-term DA Hall was indicted by the Montague County Grand Jury July 15 on a charge of theft of property $2,500 to $30,000, a state jail felony. The allegations stem from reported misappropriation of state grant funds.
