LaAnna Wagonseller spoke before Montague County Commissioners on Sept. 12 during a public hearing to discontinue and vacate a portion of Williams Road. The road is located south of Farm-to-Market 1125 and west of Amon Carter Lake.

Wagonseller said she is a resident of the area and her family has a long history around Selma. She said the road has been there for a 100 years or perhaps more, and closing the road limits park areas for residents and closes the possibility of future park developments.

“The road is a valuable asset to the Bowie Reservoir,” said Wagonseller. “It is my belief we should keep it as a county road and it is something that could be a plus for the future.”

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.
