Texas State Parks Will Be Closed To The Public Today Due to COVID-19
At the direction of Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas State Parks will be closed to the public effective at the close of business Tuesday, April 7 in order to maintain the safest environment for visitors, volunteers and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will continue to stay current with the latest public health recommendations and will announce when a definite reopening date has been determined.
“Given the myriad of challenges and heightened risks of operating the parks at this time, we believe this is the best course of action right now in order to meet the health and safety expectations the state has set out for the citizens of Texas,” said Carter Smith, Executive Director of TPWD. “All state parks will remain temporarily closed until public health and safety conditions improve. During the closure, staff will continue to steward and care for the parks to ensure they can be immediately reopened to visitors at the appropriate time.”
Outdoor recreational opportunities such as hunting, fishing, biking, jogging, walking, hiking, wildlife viewing and the like are essential activities for Texas citizens. TPWD will continue to do its part to actively encourage and promote these opportunities in ways that are safe and close to home, said Smith.
Through this trying time, TPWD has worked diligently to facilitate access to the outdoors across the state, including in the state park system, which hosted nearly 740,000 day and overnight visitors throughout the month of March.
Despite the implementation of increasingly restrictive visitor use measures to help minimize the transmission of COVID-19 at parks, TPWD has reached a point where public safety considerations of those in the parks, and in the surrounding communities, must take precedence over continued operations. Difficulty in ensuring compliance with social distancing, problems in maintaining adequate supplies and keeping park facilities sufficiently sanitized are only a few of the challenges encountered by state park staff.
While parks are closed to the public, staff will be working to help maintain the standard upkeep, maintenance, stewardship, and continued regular cleaning of site facilities.
The Texas State Parks Customer Service Center is currently working toward contacting customers with upcoming overnight reservations to reimburse stays booked through the reservation system. Group and facility reservations have been cancelled until April 30. Cancelled reservations will not be charged normal administrative fees.
Day passes purchased through the reservation system, not associated to the Texas State Parks Pass, will also be refunded without penalties. The Texas State Parks Customer Service Center will automatically process cancellations of both overnight and day-use reservations. If your reservation is impacted by a facility or park closure, a Customer Service Center agent will contact you – you do not need to contact us. We are contacting customers in order of arrival date and appreciate your patience.
Questions regarding state park reservations can be emailed to [email protected] and general park information can be found at TexasStateParks.org.
Sulphur Springs City Council To Consider Minor Curfew, Election, Step Plan For SSPD
Due to COVID-19 social distancing and closed lobbies measures in place, the regular April meeting of Sulphur Springs City Council will be conduced online, and can be viewed by the public online starting at 7 p.m. tonight. The agenda is relatively short agenda, and includes for City Council consideration a curfew ordinance for minors, resolution to postpone the May 2 election and a step plan for Sulphur Springs Police Department.
Council Election
The city was slated to hold a special election on May 2 to fill four seats on the City Council, vacated in December with the resignations of Place 1-3 and Place 5 council members, and a regulation election for Places 6 and 7.
The regular election May 2 city Council Election was canceled when Doug Moore and John Sellers were unchallenged in their bids for reelection to Places 6 and 7 respectively.
Only two of the four special election races are opposed. Harold Nash Sr. is unchallenged for Place 2 and Oscar Aguilar is unchallenged for Place 3 on the Council. The four candidates for Place 1 include:
Both candidates for Place 5 include:
The https://www.ksstradio.com/2020/03/governor-extends-school-closures-implements-essential-services-activities-protocols/Governor’s March 31 Executive Order for Texans to stay safe at home unless working at an essential business or involved in an “essential” activity, observe social distancing and keep schools closed to the public could potentially allow voters to cast ballots on May 2 if the order is not extended, but would Monday-Friday, April 20-28, in the Sulphur Springs Municipal Building located at 201 North Davis St.
Keith Ingram, Director of the Elections Division in the Office of the Secretary of State, last Thursday notified many elections officials by email that, noted that the Executive Order too prevents election officials from securing polling places, recruiting election workers, and allowing voters a safe way to exercise their right to vote. Going ahead with the May 2 election instead of postponing it could subject voters to health risks from COVID-19 and potential criminal violations, according to Ingram. Thus, the SOS official reported, those who have not moved their May elections must take action immediately to do so. The approved date for postponed elections is Nov. 3.
Sulphur Springs City Council are slated to discuss tonight and consider approving a resolution postponing the special City Council election until Nov. 3.
Curfew for Minors
Sulphur Springs City Council are also slated to conduct a public hearing, and discuss and consider approving on second and final reading Ordinance No. 2762, which amends Chapter 15 of the Code of Ordinances by adding Article VII, setting curfew hours for minors.
This issue was raised in December by a couple of downtown business women, concerned about the number of middle school aged youth congregating around downtown unsupervised on weekends and late at night, making threats to fight each other, knocking over trash cans and potentially putting themselves in danger. The women asked for the city’s help regarding the issue.
City Attorney Jim McLeroy drafted and proposed at the January meeting an ordinance setting a curfew for minors to address issues of citizens feeling unsecure and potentially unsafe conditions for unaccompanied minors after hours. The proposed ordinance was tabled twice, with additional information sought and some revisions requested.
The ordinance, as proposed, would apply to all unaccompanied youth younger than 16 years who are in public and would be effective from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday-Thursday, and 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Saturday-Sunday.
Exceptions to this policy would include emergency, work, being in the company of a guardian, running errands for a parent or guardian, if the minor is exercising First Amendment rights protected by the United States
Constitution, or married or has been married. The youth would be allowed to be on the sidewalk outside the home or neighboring residence as long as the neighbor doesn’t report them to the police.
Also an acceptable exception is if the minor is attending “an official school, religious, or other recreational activity supervised by adults and sponsored by the city, the Sulphur Springs Independent School District, a civic organization, or another similar entity that takes responsibility for the minor, or going to or returning home from, without any detour or stop, an official school, religious, or other recreational activity supervised by adults and sponsored by the city, the Sulphur Springs Independent School District, a civic organization, or another similar entity that takes responsibility for the minor.”
A public hearing to the ordinance will be conducted during the 7 p.m. April 7 meeting. If the council chooses to approve the ordinance, the curfew for minors would go into effect on May 1, according to the proposed ordinance.
Public Forum
Anyone who would like to speak during public forum should call 903-439-3705 and provide their name and address during the meeting as instructed at the appropriate time.
Other Agenda Items
The April 7 council agenda also includes an ordinance amending and updating a pretreatment ordinance, a new step plan for SSPD, consider a motion to reject bids for the water treatment plant Clearwell Modification and PH enhancement.

On Being Kind: Mom’s Birthday Wave Parade!
Mrs. Marjorie West was turning 91, and each birthday has been an opportunity for her four daughters and the numerous grand-and great-grandchildren to show their love and appreciation of their ‘Nannie’. This year was different though, because of social distancing. How were they going to have a celebration she would enjoy AND keep it a secret? Leave it to a schoolteacher! Johnna West, Lee Gifford, Carol Crowson and Ann Lary put their heads together and came up with the perfect solution, a Birthday Honk and Wave Parade! It was held on Friday evening April 3 past the West home address on Vonda Drive!
In order to pull this off as a surprise, they had to keep her from listening to KSST on April 2 and 3 because they were making the plans known as a part of the Birthday reading on the Good Morning Show. Then, on Friday afternoon, they went over as usual, baked a cake, decorated her yard and got her dressed for her “party”. Then, they seated her outside to wait for her ‘guests’. And that’s when the honking and waving began! Happy Birthday, Nannie!
Hopkins COVID-19 Update: 4 Confirmed Cases, 1 Person Recovered, 65 Negative Tests, 20 Tests Pending
Local healthcare providers reported one of the four people confirmed to have COVID-19 in Hopkins County has recovered from it, Hopkins County Hospital District/EMS reported in the April 6 Hopkins COVID-19 update.
No additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Hopkins County since April 4, when Hopkins County Emergency Management Team reports the fourth confirmed case, but 24 additional test results have come back as negative. That brings the total of negative results in Hopkins County for the 22-day COVID-19 pandemic to 65, according to HCHD/EMS reports.
An additional 13 tests were sent out for testing during that time, however, bringing the total of potential cases that met Texas Department of State Health Services and the Centers for Disease Control requirements for COVID-19 testing to 89. That leaves 20 tests still pending in Hopkins County, according to the HCHD/EMS Hopkins COVID-19 update.
Brent Smith, HCHD chief operating officer and EMS director, also reported “Screenings turnaround times are improving from the Private Labs and TX-DSHS Labs,” which means it should take less than the 10 business days labs have been averaging to get the results of those 20 pending cases.
As of noon April 6, Texas had reported 85,357 COVID-19 tests sent for analysis, up from 50,679 on April 2. Of those, Texas had 7,276 confirmed cases Monday, up from 5,660 on April 2. The number of COVID-19 deaths doubled from April 2 to April 6, rising from 70 on Friday to 140 as of Monday’s report.
Commissioners Court Extends Hopkins County Health Emergency Disaster Declaration
Hopkins County Commissioners Court Monday agreed to extend the Hopkins County health emergency disaster declaration due to COVID-19 through the end of the month, with one additional item added to the declaration, Monday morning.
Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom April 1 enacted an emergency order with terms to fit the Executive Order issued March 31 by Governor Greg Abbott, with “exceptions added to make it clearer.
The April 6 order proposed to the Commissioners Court on Monday included a “locked business” exception to the stay at home, stay safe, essential business and activity order.
A locked door business, according to the 13-page document provided to cities and counties to help “Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers During COVID-19 Response,” is defined as follows:
Essentially, the the lock business class was added to allow businesses to continue to operate at their place of work, provided there are very few employees present, and social distancing is observed within the business.
The public won’t have access to a locked business, but the business can still
allow operations by phone, internet or other source, sending and receiving of mail and deliveries, necessary to keep the business operational, provided the business, provided it’s not a business required by the governor’s order to be closed.
“This will allow the business to function to some extent, to try to stay alive for this short time — through April 30 — duration of the governor’s orders,” Newsom said.
Bartley, when considering approving the document through the end of the month, noted he’d been asked by a constituent if the full time had to be adopted or if the declaration could be evaluated and set in weekly increments.
Newsom noted that the wording as proposed came directly from the Governor’s order, which unless modified or superseded by state, would still be the same. The executive order stipulates the stay at home, stay safe order is in effect through April 30, Newsom said.
“Doing it week to week would be no different. The Governor supersedes us. No, it wouldn’t make a difference, I don’t think. I understand people would like for this to be over with,” Newsom said.
Bartley and Precinct 1 Commissioner Mickey Barker noted that county governments do have to follow the state rules. While they cannot remove sections of the orders set at the state level, county and municipal governances can add more stringent guidelines. They are not opting to do so at this time.
Hopkins County Treasurer Danny Davis asked if the order for nonessential business included restaurants, particularly if people are allowed to walk into a restaurant pick up an order and leave with it, or if entry to the business would be prohibited to the order with the closing of dining halls.
Newsom noted the Governor’s Executive Order and county order specifies that “use of drive-thru, pickup or delivery options for food and drinks is allowed and highly encouraged.”
Hopkins County Fire Chief and Emergency Managements Coordinator Andy Endsley said that specifically allows people ordering take out from a restaurant to walk into the establishment, pick up their take out and walk right back out. Eating on site isn’t allowed, but picking up an order and leaving is OK.
The health emergency disaster declaration approved by the county is “accompanied with lots of definitions of what essential is and not. A lot of businesses are essential. The governor’s order has made it hard on small business, no doubt about it,”Newsom acknowledged.
Below is the order as approved by Hopkins County Commissioner Court. The official record also had attached to it the 4-page Governor’s Executive Declaration as well as a 2-page memo from Christopher C. Krebs, director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the 13-page “Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce: Ensuring Community and National Resilience in COVID-19 Response.”
Amended Local Health Emergency Disaster Declaration approved by Hopkins County Commissioners Court Monday, April 6, which lasts through April 30. All 22 pages of the “4-6-2020 Amended Declaration of Local Disaster for Public Health Emergency,” including the Governor’s Executive Order and guidance on what is considered “essential,” are available on the Hopkins County website.
Resources and information related to Coronavirus are available on the Hopkins County Emergency Management website (http://hopkinscountytxcovid-19.com/) and Facebook pages.
Mickey Barker also asked if possible for the health emergency declaration be translated for viewing by the Spanish-speaking community members. Endsley noted that Dr. Mario Villarino and Sulphur Springs ISD personnel are working with the county to properly translate information that is being provided in Spanish through the Hopkins County Emergency Management Team.
Manhunt Results In 2 Arrests For Alleged Theft, Building Burglaries
A manhunt resulted in two arrests Sunday morning. A 29-year-old man and 33-year-old Garland man allegedly ran after a property owner caught them stealing from his FM 2653 storage building April 5. One man was reportedly chased up a tree while the other was found later walking on FM 2653.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office was contacted at 9:35 a.m. April 5 by a man alleging two men fled when he discovered them in his storage building, according to sheriff’s reports.
The pair allegedly attempted to leave the property in a van, which the property owner then rammed with another vehicle, causing it to get stuck in the mud, Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputy Richard Brantley alleged in arrest reports. The pair then allegedly ran into the woods. They were reportedly seen by a citizen a short time later in a nearby field, according to sheriff’s reports.
Texas Department of Corrections officials were contacted to bring trained dogs to the scene. Officers established a perimeter, assisted by Hunt County Constable Terry Jones and Hunt County Investigator Kenneth Peters, Hopkins County Sheriff’s investigators and community members. A manhunt was launched for the fleeing pair of men. The trained dogs were turned loose to track the scent of the two men, according to Hopkins County Sheriff Lewis Tatum.
One suspect was allegedly observed by Hopkins County Sheriff’s Investigator Dennis Findley as he was fleeing from the dogs. The man allegedly climbing a tree. Assisted by Hopkins County Chief Investigator Corley Weatherford and Investigator Michael Russell, with the dogs at the base of the tree, Findley removed the man from the tree and took him into custody, according to Tatum.
The suspect was identified in arrest reports as 29-year-old Bobby Daniel Faulkner. Arrest reports show a Faulkner to have a Wills Point address, but jail reports list has as residing in Dallas. Faulkner was taken into custody near County Road 1125 and transported by investigators and Sheriff Lewis Tatum to Hopkins County jail, according to arrest reports.
The other subject, identified in arrest reports as 33-year-old Cash Allen Price of Garland, was reportedly seen Sunday afternoon walking on FM 2653, where he was arrested by Investigator Peters. He was taken into custody at 2:16 p.m. and transported to the county jail, according to sheriff’s reports.
“Investigator Kenneth Peters and Hunt County Sheriff-Elect Terry Jones work with Texas Department of Corrects guards/tracking people all the time, and have been a great asset to help us. And, we help them out if they need us too,” Tatum said Monday morning. “This was good cooperative effort from officers, the property owner and numerous citizens from the community who help set up a perimeter. That’s why things work so well in Hopkins County, everybody working together for the good of all.”
Officials reported finding copper wire, multiple items with other people’s identifying information and other items in the van and within the pair’s possession during the alleged building burglary and subsequent search and arrests.
Price and Faulkner were booked into Hopkins County jail on two burglary of a building charges, as well as theft of property-copper, fraudulent use or possession of more than five pieces of identifying information and possession of a criminal instrument. Price was also charged on violation of parole warrant, according to arrest and jail reports.
The pair remained in Hopkins County jail Monday morning, April 6. Bond was set at $30,000 on each of the five charges; Price also was held without bond on the parole warrant, according to jail reports.
