Early voting opens for May 7 election
Early voting for the May 7 Texas Constitutional Amendment election and Nocona City Council races will continue through May 3 at four locations across the county.
The balloting began on Monday at the following locations:
Montague County Annex Community Room, Nocona Community Center, Saint Jo Civic Center and Bowie Bible Baptist Church. The locations will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday only.
On election day, the same locations will be open for the election from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Four people are running for the three places on the Nocona City Council: Christopher Nunneley, J. Kevin Kirkpatrick, Yesika Rodriguez and Taylor Ross. None of the incumbents filed for election.
The Texas Legislature placed two constitutional amendments on a special election ballot. Both are related to property taxes.

The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
