BPD considers 2 new SROs, 2 officers leave for new jobs
The Bowie Police Department is once more shuffling staff as two officers have left for other positions, however, Chief Guy Green said a former officer is returning, and he has made an offer to an applicant who is going through the background check and physical.
Officer Alec Domany has resigned after one year with the department to take a position with the Wichita County Sheriff’s office. Travis Fuller, a former Bowie officer who returned to the department about eight months ago, has left the BPD to return to Joshua Independent School District as a School Resource Officer.
Green said former local officer Scott Hudson is coming back to the force full-time after going to a reserve as he started a small business. That leaves one position open, which the chief has offered to an applicant.
The department also is exploring the addition of two new school resource officers that would work in Bowie schools.

After more than a year of turmoil and upheaval it appears the Amon Carter Lake Water Supply Corporation is back on its feet with a slate of new board members and plans to review by-laws and operations.
Last August all the board members resigned in the wake of a lawsuit by a resident who could not obtain water for a small housing development despite being in the district. The property owner also accused the board of not following open meetings or open records laws, or its own by-laws.
After the board resigned a receivership was requested from the court and was named in December 2025. The receiver or temporary manager was Nocona attorney Zach Renfro, who was directed by the court to seek out possible directors to rehabilitate the association and assure it meets the obligation of continuing to provide water to more than 300 members.
The corporation board conducted its first general membership meeting on March 27 where a state of the corporation was given and new directors
named. They are Kevin McShan, president; Josh Swint, vice president; Carla Swofford, secretary; Wesley Kelly, treasurer; Zach Gunter, Rob Hankins and Chase Thomas, all directors.
