All nine counties (Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cooke, Montague, Throckmorton Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young) in the Wichita Falls District spent today preparing for the winter storm predicted overnight and tomorrow. TxDOT crews pretreated bridges, overpasses, and some main lanes with brine today. Our storage tanks are full of brine, and we will be making more during the storm to keep our supply full. Other snow/ice supplies are at capacity. All 12 maintenance sections will start 12-hour shifts overnight. If you find yourself in an accident or stranded on the side of the road, CALL 9-1-1.

After a handful of days with rain chances, this upcoming work week will be dry and hot. Afternoon temperatures will rise back into the 90s and 100s, with heat indices between 100-110 by midweek. (U.S. National Weather Service)

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.
