The bankruptcy filing of Bowie Real Estate Holdings, LP, that owns and operated Central Hospital of Bowie continues through the courts, however, the owners have received the property back and have begun marketing it for sale.
Officials from Bowie Real Estate Holdings closed the hospital on Feb. 4 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 6, just one day before the building foreclosure sale was scheduled on the courthouse steps.
CrossFirst Bank filed for the trustee sale after the owners from Bowie Real Estate Holdings defaulted on a $2.5 million bank note.
Bowie Real Estate Holdings is operated by Dr. Hasan F. Hashmi and his son, Faraz Hashmi, who worked as chief executive office of Central Hospital. They purchased the former Bowie Memorial Hospital which was closed on March 21 2016.

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.

No action was taken on a legal issue after members of the Bowie City Council met in a called closed session at 4 p.m. on July 12.
City Secretary Sandy Page said the council met for almost one hour for “consultation with attorney – Midwest Waste Services LLC vs. City of Bowie.
This lawsuit goes back to August 2019 when Midwest sued the city for its action requiring those who receive city water outside the city limits to use the designated waste collector, which is Waste Connections. This was shortly after the city signed a new long-term contract with WC.
The suit was dismissed in June 2020 on two points in the suit, but City Manager Bert Cunningham said a third point remained in mediation.
