TxDOT’s latest Montague County road closures
The Texas Department of Transportation reported the following road closures in Montague County as of 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
Closed roads – FM 2583 at the Selma Park boat dock on Amon Carter; FM 1956 from Blue Mound Road to FM 3301; State Highway 101 at the Montague/Wise County line; FM 1806 behind Old Bowie Lake; FM 1806 from Stoneburg to Montague; FM 103; and FM 2953 at Lake Nocona.
U.S. 81 at FM 1806 has high water and could close at any time.
PICTURED – It was just a few weeks ago when FM 1806 near Old Bowie Lake was repaired into a low water crossing after the road was washed out in the mid-May flooding. Thursday morning the road appeared to be more of a river than any crossing. The road is closed to traffic. (Photo by Barbara Green)
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
