Nocona woman’s appeal denied, conviction holds in 2 traffic deaths from 2015
A Nocona woman convicted in two 2015 traffic deaths could soon begin serving a prison term, as a Texas appeals court upheld the conviction and sentence of Terri Sanders.
The Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth issued its order on Sept. 3 stating “there was no error in the trial court’s judgment,” and it ordered the judgment was affirmed.
“We were confident the Court of Appeals would affirm the decision after all of the hard work that went into this case, both for the trial and the appeal,” said District Attorney Casey Polhemus. “I’m very proud of our trial team, and so grateful the families of the boys who were killed are one step closer to getting the justice they deserve.”
This case arises from a fatal head-on car collision on U.S. Highway 82 between Wichita Falls and Nocona on Oct. 23, 2015.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
