County Officials Approve Redistricting Proposal for Precincts 1 and 2
Hopkins County Commissioners Court Monday morning approved a proposal which will clean up county precinct lines, population blocks more evenly while meeting legislative requirements for redistricting.
“Every 10 years counties have to look at it. If it’s over 10 percent deviation, the count y is forced to redistrict,” Ark-Tex Council of Governments Executive Director Chris Brown said during Monday’s regular Commissioners Court meeting.
Hopkins County’s population, according to the 2020 US Census data, is not 36,787, up from 35,161 in 2020. That would put the ideal population for each of the four county precincts at 9,197, which is one-quarter of the population.
Precinct 1 has 9,899 residents, which is 702 higher than the ideal population, while Precinct 2 has 533 less than the recommended 9,197 per precinct. The population of Precinct 3 is 9,047, which is 150 less than the ideal goal, while Precinct 4 has 9,177 resident, just 20 shy of the targeted population goal.
“You’ve got a difference of 13 percent. The max before you redistrict is 10, so because the difference of these two [Precincts 1 and 2] is greater than 10 that’s what we have to look at doing – redistricting,” Brown explained.
| Commissioner Precinct | Total Population | 36,787 | 9,197 | Percent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Precinct 1 | 9899 | 26.91% | 702 | 8% |
| Precinct 2 | 8661 | 23.55% | -533 | -6% |
| Precinct 3 | 9047 | 24.59% | -150 | 2% |
| Precinct 4 | 9177 | 24,95 | -20 | 0 |
Brown said ATCOG began looking at the map, focusing on census blocks in Precincts 1 and 2, which have the most deviation from 9,197.
Initially, officials looked at pulling an area from Park Springs Road off CR 2301 in Precinct 1 into Precinct 2. The addition, however, wouldn’t have enough residents to offset the deviation. Consideration then turned to the area east of Mockingbird Lane which includes Junell Street, Merrell Drive and Austin Acres; that would be too many to shift from one precinct to the other, and officials didn’t want to break up any census blocks, Brown explained.
Staying on the main routes, Brown said, tends to create more natural boundaries. So, the officials looked at redistricting the area between Fisher and Davis Street from Precinct 1 into Precinct 2. That would clean and straighten up the boundary for a more natural boundary for that area, while getting both precincts within an acceptable range of the 9,197 population target.
ATCOG is recommending the redistricting occur in Sulphur Springs, which would mostly impact Precincts 1 and 2. Brown said small changes in Precinct 1 and Precinct 2 boundaries inside Sulphur Springs should mean no change to physical addresses in the county, particularly renumbering of county roads, which start with the precinct number in which the road is located. It would mean some people within the city limits of Sulphur Springs would be casting ballots for Precinct 2 offices in the future instead of those in Precinct 1. But the redistricting or restructuring of precincts as proposed would. The current plan, also straightens up the boundary lines, making them straighter, according to Brown.
“Hopkins County is in a great position. When you start taking in and moving county road around you start changing people’s road numbers because they’ve always keep it as Precinct 1 your road number starts with 1, Precinct 2 your road number starts with 2. If you do it out in the the county areas, you start changing people’s addresses. That’s inconvenient. We try not to do that. That’s why it’s easier to change it around in town because when you’re talking about Commissioner Precincts, that’s a less of an impact because the Commissioners are not working directly on the roads in town, they work on the roads that are numbered out there,” Brown said Monday, Nov. 8, 2021.
Taking into account the total population per precinct, percent of change and demographics for each precinct, redrawing the boundary lines within the city could reduce the overall population in Precinct 1 from 9,899 to 9,203. The demographics would remain essentially the same, within a 1 percent variable according to the plan ATCOG recommended to the commissioners during a work session last week and which he asked the Commissioners Court to approve Monday morning.
The proposed districting change would increase Precinct 2’s overall population from 8,664 to 9,360. The minority population would drop from 38 to 36 percent, however.
Precinct 2 Now following South Davis Street to Kyle, then making a block and continuing south on Fisher Street and ending just before Industrial Drive. However, as proposed, Precinct 2 would continue on Davis To Kyle, then follow Kyle to State Highway 154, following that to Mockingbird Lane, then curve to continue south on 154 until just before Industrial Drive. That would now include the streets of Hodge, Spence, Linda and Village Drives, Lee Street and Parkins Street to the service road. It would not include the triangle of property from South Broadway Street to Mockingbird Lane, north of Industrial Drive.
Precinct 1 would no longer continue about a block or more south east of Shannon Road on CR 2307. Precinct 1 will only include that small strip along Industrial south to Shannon, and east to Bill Bradford Road. Otherwise, Precinct 1, according to the proposed map, will pick up south of East Shannon Road with Mockingbird Lane as the eastern boundary on the east. Precinct 1 would still include Duckworth Street, Hollie Circle, and Cedar Springs south to the county line.
A public hearing was conducted to allow community members to ask questions or voice any comments they may have regarding redistricting. Then, the court voted to adopt the proposed map approving the proposed redistricting plan for the Commissioners’ Precincts as well as Justice of the peace and Constables, and polling election boundaries based on the 2020 US Census demographic data for Hopkins County.
Tax Assessor/Collector/ Voter Registrar Debbie Mitchell, at the Nov. 1 Commissioners Court meeting, noted approving a redistricting map in early November should provide enough time to make changes over the next month so that they can be reflected on voter information for the approximately 1,400 of the 21,000 registered voters who would be impacted by any districting changes.
The proposed map approved by the Commissioners Court would not change Precincts 3 and 4 in the northern most half of Hopkins County.
A&M-Commerce ‘Must Love Dogs’ Class to Assist with Commerce Dog Park Grand Opening
COMMERCE, Texas — Students in the “Must Love Dogs” signature course at Texas A&M University-Commerce will help celebrate the grand opening of a long-awaited dog park in Commerce, Texas on Nov. 29.
Signature courses provide an opportunity for faculty to highlight their knowledge and passion for a topic of their choosing, often outside of their discipline. Aimed at first-year students, these dynamic and engaging courses are focused on interdisciplinary subjects that are not already covered in existing curriculum at the university.
Professor Sandy Kimbrough reports that her class will be conducting a fundraiser in conjunction with the grand opening, with 100% of proceeds benefitting Legacy Humane Society, Canine Companions for Independence, Patriot PAWS and other dog rescue organizations. Their efforts will all be part of the class’s Lionizing project, a key component to signature courses at A&M-Commerce.
“I believe it’s really important for students to apply what they’ve learned in order to see that their efforts can make a positive impact on dogs that need help,” Kimbrough said. “The students will be heavily involved with the grand opening and the fundraiser. They will also apply critical thinking skills in their final exam to describe how their efforts impacted the success of this event.”
The students designed shirts and baked dog treats to sell as part of their fundraising efforts. Additionally, students from Kimbrough’s group exercise instruction course will assist faculty from the A&M-Commerce Department of Health and Human Performance as they conduct a 45-minute dog yoga session beginning at 5 p.m. and a canine cardio session from 6-6:45 p.m.
A minimum $10 donation is suggested for each session.
“Humans and their well-behaved dogs are encouraged to participate together in these fun and furry workouts,” Kimbrough said. “No, dog? No problem. Need a dog sitter for the class? We’ve got you covered.”
There will also be a dog show at 6:45 p.m. The entrance fee is $5, and show categories include Dog/Human Lookalike, Best Smile and more.
Jennie Reynolds, president of the “Friends of the Commerce Dog Park” group, said the dog park project has been in the works since 2018.
According to Reynolds, since its inception, the group has attended countless city council meetings and workshops, hosted multiple fundraisers, established its 501(c) non-profit status, and worked with three Parks and Recreation directors and two city managers—not to mention a pandemic—to move the project forward.
“Kathleen Hooten is our vice president and she’s been involved since the beginning,” Reynolds said. “She has been essential in brainstorming the park’s design, fundraising and promoting the park.”
Reynolds also credited Alisa Rex for donating her time and photography skills for fundraising efforts, as well as countless others involved with the project along the way.
“Howdy Lisenbee has been an advocate for the dog park from his first days as Commerce city manager beginning in November 2020,” Reynolds said. “He has helped get this project across the finish line, and the Commerce community has supported every fundraiser and event. We cannot wait to share our new dog park with everyone who has made it possible.”
The grand opening event will begin at 4 p.m. at 1907 Park Street in Commerce. Special guest and Lion alum Donovan Lewis with SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket will serve as the master of ceremonies.

DSHS: Texas Data Shows Unvaccinated People 20 Times More Likely To Die From COVID-19
A new study released by the Texas Department of State Health Services shows that during the month of September, Texans not vaccinated against COVID-19 were about 20 times more likely to suffer a COVID-19-associated death and 13 times more likely to test positive than people who were fully vaccinated.
An analysis of data from the four-week period from Sept. 4 through Oct. 1 shows that vaccination had a strong protective effect across all ages. While the impact varied across age groups, it was most pronounced in younger groups. The risk of COVID-19 death was 48 times higher in unvaccinated people in their 30s and 63 times higher for people in their 40s, compared with their vaccinated peers. There were fewer than 10 COVID-19 deaths among fully vaccinated people ages 18 to 29 compared with 339 deaths among unvaccinated people in the same age group.
The study, which matched electronic lab reports and death certificates with state immunization records, is the state’s first statistical analysis of the real-world impact of vaccination against COVID-19 in Texas.
“This analysis quantifies what we’ve known for months,” said Chief State Epidemiologist Jennifer Shuford, MD. “The COVID-19 vaccines are doing an excellent job of protecting people from getting sick and from dying from COVID-19. Vaccination remains the best way to keep yourself and the people close to you safe from this deadly disease.”
Public health researchers focused specifically on the September period to measure the effect of COVID-19 vaccination as the more contagious Delta variant surged across Texas. A summary with a link to the full analysis, including data from a January 15 through Oct. 1 period, is available at dshs.texas.gov/immunize/covid19/data/vaccination-status.aspx.
Deputies Removed Dike Man From Tractor In Order To Take Him Into Custody
Deputies had to remove a Dike man from a tractor in order to take him into custody on warrants Friday evening, according to arrest reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office deputies were made aware of two warrants for Jerry Mack Price Jr.’s arrest, one for violating a protective or magistrate’s order and another for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The deputies recognized the wanted person as one who had on three other recent occasions actively resisted arrest.
Deputies Justin Wilkerson and Kevin Lester, Sgt. Scott Davis and Sgt. Richard Greer drove to Price’s residence, where they found him on a tractor. He was advised of the warrants and asked to get off the tractor.
When he wouldn’t do as instructed, deputies attempted to take him off the tractor. He reportedly began actively resisting their efforts, but deputies did remove the Dike man from the tractor and assisted him to the ground. He was then handcuffed, assisted to his feet and escorted to a patrol unit for transport to jail.
Price was released from Hopkins County jail Sunday, Nov. 6, 2021, on $200,000 in bond, $100,000 each for the aggravated assault and violation of bond/protective order charges.
Nov. 5 was the fourth time Price has been in custody at Hopkins County jail this year.
He had just been released from jail the day before after securing the $270,000 bond set on the charges he was arrested for on Nov. 2, 2021. Those charged included resisting arrest, search or transport as well as warrants for insufficient bond on two assault on a public servant charges, an attempt to take weapon from an officer charge, assault causing bodily injury to a family member charge; and city warrants for driving while license invalid, failure to yield row turning left and leaving the scene of an accident.
Price was jailed Oct. 3-6, 2021, on two assault of a public servant, one attempt to take weapon from an officer, resisting arrest, search or transport and assault causing bodily injury to a family member. He was released on $90,000 in bonds.
He too was arrested July 29, 2021, on a second offense driving while intoxicated charge and a resisting arrest search or transport charge. Price was released later that day on $2,000 bond per charge.

Fatality Reported In Early Sunday Morning ATV Crash
Three people died Sunday as a result of crashes reported Sunday – an elderly couple died as a result of a State Highway 154 crash at lunch time Nov. 7 and a fatality was reported to have resulted from an early morning ATV crash.
According to Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office, 45-year-old Inocente Diaz was a riding passenger on an all terrain vehicle that rolled over on private property on FM 900 north early Sunday morning.

The vehicle the females reportedly t-boned the car the couple was in, that is the front of their car collided with the middle of one side of the elderly couple’s car.
“Preliminary investigation indicates a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox was traveling southbound on SH 154. A 2017 Nissan Murano was exiting a business driveway and the driver failed to yield the right-of-way to the Chevrolet,” Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol Sgt.

Redistricting Required For Hopkins County Due To Population Growth Reflected In 2020 Census
Changes Proposed By ATCOG Would Mostly Impact Precincts 1 and 2 in Sulphur Springs
Hopkins County Commissioners Court Monday morning will be asked to consider approving a number of items, including a redistricting proposal which would impact Precincts 1 and 2 in Sulphur Springs, and amended and restated 381 agreements with Hopkins Energy LLC and a road maintenance agreement with Stampede Solar Project LLC. The 9 a.m. meeting agenda also calls for election canvassing.
County Redistricting
Ark-Tex Council of Governments Executive Director Chris Brown during a work session last week discussed with Hopkins County Commissioners Court the need for redistricting of Commissioners, Justice of the Peace and Constable Precincts and polling boundaries for elections due to the population growth data reported the 2020 Census. Hopkins County had 35,161 residents in 2010 and 36,787 in 2020. The increase overall has remained 2-4 percent for the past few years. Across the state the population increased 16 percent over the last 10 years, the county and ATCOG officials reported. While growth in the county has remained rural, the majority of state growth has been in the Austin, Houston and San Antonio area.
Precinct 1 has had the largest population increase, with a total of 9,899 residents, 24 percent of whom are minorities, according to the data Brown presented at the Nov. 1 Commissioners Court meeting. Precinct 2 has the smallest population with only 8,664 residents, 38 percent of whom are minority population. Precinct 3 has the next smallest population of 9,047, with a 29 percent minority population. Precinct 4 has a population of 9,177 people, 27 percent of whom are considered minorities, according to Census information presented by Brown.
Based on a study of that data, redistricting is required to better balance the precincts. ATCOG is recommending the redistricting occur in Sulphur Springs, which would mostly impact Precincts 1 and 2. Brown said small changes in Precinct 1 and Precinct 2 boundaries inside Sulphur Springs should mean no change to physical addresses in the county, particularly renumbering of county roads, which start with the precinct number in which the road is located. It would mean some people within the city limits of Sulphur Springs would be casting ballots for Precinct 2 offices in the future instead of those in Precinct 1. But the redistricting or restructuring of precincts as proposed would. The current plan, also straightens up the boundary lines, making them straighter, according to Brown.
Taking into account the total population per precinct, percent of change and demographics for each precinct, redrawing the boundary lines within the city would reduce the overall population in Precinct 1 from 9,899 to 9,203. The minority population in Precinct 1 would increase slightly from 24 to 25 percent due to the overall population decrease in Precinct 1, if the Commissioners Court approves the redistricting recommendation proposed by ATCOG.
The proposed districting change would increase Precinct 2’s overall population from 8,664 to 9,360. The minority population would drop from 38 to 36 percent, however.
Precinct 2 Now following South Davis Street to Kyle, then making a block and continuing south on Fisher Street and ending just before Industrial Drive. However, as proposed, Precinct 2 would continue on Davis To Kyle, then follow Kyle to State Highway 154, following that to Mockingbird Lane, then curve to continue south on 154 until just before Industrial Drive. That would now include the streets of Hodge, Spence, Linda and Village Drives, Lee Street and Parkins Street to the service road. It would not include the triangle of property from South Broadway Street to Mockingbird Lane, north of Industrial Drive.
Precinct 1 would no longer continue about a block or more south east of Shannon Road on CR 2307. Precinct 1 would only include that small strip along Industrial south to Shannon, and east to Bill Bradford Road. Otherwise, Precinct 1 would pickup south of East Shannon Road with Mockingbird Lane as the eastern boundary on the east. Precinct 1 would still include Duckworth Street, Hollie Circle, and Cedar Springs south to the county line.
Brown is expected to again present to the Commissioners Court the proposed redistricting plan for Hopkins County during the 9 a.m. Commissioners Court session Nov. 8, 2021. A public hearing will be conducted to allow community members to ask questions or voice any comments they may have regarding redistricting. Then, the court would consider approving the proposed redistricting plan for the Commissioners’ Precincts as well as Justice of the peace and Constables, and polling election boundaries based on the 2020 US Census demographic data for Hopkins County.
Tax Assessor/Collector/ Voter Registrar Debbie Mitchell noted approving a redistricting map in early November should provide enough time to make changes over the next month so that they can be reflected on voter information for the approximately 1,400 of the 21,000 registered voters who would be impacted by any districting changes.
Other Court Business
Hopkins County Commissioners Court too during the regular Monday morning meeting is slated to canvass the votes from the Nov. 2 2021 Constitutional Amendment Election.
Two items on the Nov. 8 agenda have to do with planned solar projects in the Hopkins County. The commissioners are slated to consider approving an amended and restated 381 agreement with Hopkins Energy, LLC (the planned solar facility in Dike) and a road maintenance agreement with Stampede Solar Project, LLC.
The Commissioners Court has been asked to consider adding Sulphur Springs ISD Education Foundation as a charity to which jurors may donate their daily reimbursement for jury service.
