TxDOT Names Brian Barth as Deputy Executive Director for Program Delivery
| July 26, 2021 AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Transportation today announced the selection of Brian Barth as the department’s second Deputy Executive Director. Barth will assume his new role on August 1 and will serve alongside Deputy Executive Director Brandye Hendrickson, who joined TxDOT on July 19. Both positions report to Executive Director Marc Williams with Barth responsible for leading TxDOT’s program delivery overseeing all roads, bridges and maintenance throughout the entire state to ensure transportation projects meeting the needs of Texans are delivered efficiently and effectively. Most recently, Barth served as TxDOT’s Director of Project Planning and Development, where he oversaw TxDOT’s Transportation Planning and Programming, Right of Way, Environmental Affairs, Professional Engineering Procurement and Transportation Programs divisions. “TxDOT’s mission is Connecting You With Texas, and that means delivering needed transportation projects across the state to improve safety and mobility,” said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams. “Brian is a proven leader with a strategic mindset and a commitment to follow-through to ensure we get it done.” Barth’s extensive transportation experience includes serving as the district engineer for TxDOT’s Fort Worth District from 2013-2018 working to solve Metroplex-area transportation issues. Under his direction as district engineer, he oversaw over $1 billion in construction work each year in addition to major projects on I-35W, SH 360 South and the I-30/SH 360 Interchange. “Governor Greg Abbott asked me to ‘turn dirt’ and therefore my mantra for TxDOT is ‘execute, execute, execute’ when it comes to meeting the transportation needs of Texans and Texas communities,” said Texas Transportation Chairman J. Bruce Bugg, Jr. “Our state continues to grow and Texans have entrusted us with keeping them moving. With Brian’s demonstrated leadership moving our Texas Clear Lanes initiative forward to tackle congestion in our busiest metros, I’m pleased to have his experience and expertise focused relentlessly on delivering on our robust program of transportation projects statewide.” Barth began his career at TxDOT in 1988 as an engineering assistant in the Dallas District after graduation from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. In 2003, he was appointed as the Dallas District’s director of transportation planning and development. From 2009 to 2013, Barth served as the Fort Worth District’s deputy district engineer, providing joint oversight and development of the DFW Connector, North Tarrant Express, I-35W, I-30, and Chisholm Trail Parkway. “I look forward to serving in this new and critical role,” Barth said. “I know firsthand that the women and men of TxDOT share my commitment to tackling complex challenges with rigor, dedication and meaningful results.” |

Fort Worth Woman Pretended To Be Someone Else, Ran From Police To Avoid Arrest On 14 Warrants
A 27-year-old Fort Worth woman wanted by nine different agencies on a total of 14 warrants pretended to be someone else, then ran from police in an attempt to avoid arrest Monday morning, according to arrest reports.
Sulphur Springs Police Officer Sean Hoffman conducted a traffic stop on a Chevrolet Malibu at 9:11 a.m. July 26 on JD Franklin Drive. The officer believed the woman driving to be one he knew had outstanding warrants. She displayed signs of nervousness and, when asked for ID, gave a different name and date of birth than the one Hoffman was familiar with, police alleged in arrest reports.
She insisted the information she gave was correct, so dispatchers obtained and sent to the officer a photo of the person she claimed to be. The photo did not look like the woman in front of him, Hoffman alleged in arrest reports.
He then asked the woman if she had any ID in her wallet. She claimed the one she had was her sister’s. He then told her the photo from the name she’d given didn’t look like her and asked to see the ID she had. She refused, Hoffman noted in arrest reports.
He asked the woman to get out for further investigation of possible criminal activity. She refused, claiming she was waiting for her brother to get there. She then rolled up the car window and fled south on JD Franklin Drive, turned onto Melba Street. She got out of the car and took off running west on Melba, then behind a house at the corner of JD Franklin Drive and Melba Street. He caught up to her in the back yard and took her into custody, Hoffman alleged in arrest reports.
The woman then admitted her name is Justice Brown. The 27-year-old Fort Worth woman was arrested at 9:49 a.m. July 26, 2021, for failure to identify and evading arrest or detention with a vehicle, and as well as on 14 outstanding warrants:
- 1 Hopkins County warrant for failure to identify as a fugitive by intentionally giving false information;
- 2 Tarrant County warrants, one each for theft of property valued at less than $2,500 with two or more previous convictions and failure to ID by giving false information;
- 2 Dallas County warrants, one each for bond forfeiture on an assault on a security officer and theft of property valued at less than $2,500 with two or more previous convictions;
- 1 Arlington warrant for theft of less than $2,500 with prior convictions;
- 1 Keller Southlake warrant for theft of property with tow or more prior convictions;
- 1 Lamar County motion to revoke on an assault causing bodily injury charge;
- 2 Collin County warrants, one each for theft of property valued at less than $2,500 with prior convictions and false alarm or report;
- 2 Harris County warrants, one each for theft and evading arrest or detention; and
- 2 Sulphur Springs warrants, one each for failure to maintain financial responsibility and no driver’s license.
Justice Jashea Brown, who is also known by Laquantra Amelia William (not the name she initially told police on Monday), was booked into Hopkins County jail at 12:15 p.m. Monday. The car was impounded. She remained in Hopkins County jail Tuesday morning, July 27, 2021, on the failure to identify and evading arrest charges as well as the 14 warrants.

Portion Of County’s ARP Funding Earmarked for Trustee Housing Facility
County Eyes Hazardous Mitigation Assistance Grant For Community Safe Room
Hopkins County officials are considering building two structures near the sheriff’s office, a trustee housing facility and a community safe room.
Trustee Housing
Hopkins County officials plan to use a portion of the $7-plus million the county has been awarded in American Rescue Program funding to construct a trustee housing facility. The facility would keep the trustees, who work in the community, separate from other inmates as a safety precaution against COVID-19 or any other illness being spread, and to better keep contraband such as snuff or controlled substance out of the county jail.
Constructing the facility too will free up space in the county jail so the inmate count remains below the count recommended by state jail standards inspectors. The inmate limit is 192, but jail standards officials recommend keeping 10 beds open, to accommodate an influx over the weekend, Hopkins County Sheriff Lewis Tatum explained.
The new facility, as currently estimated, would be constructed to house up to 48 beds. Currently, jail trustees are utilized on work assignments daily throughout the county. For instance, some jail trustees are assigned to Commissioners’ precinct crews, some assist at Hopkins County Civic Center particularly the yard. Female inmates clean in offices and buildings all over the county, including the clerk’s offices and courthouses. Tatum estimated 35-36 trustees can be found on any given day on work detail.
While the current plan is for the female trustees to remain in B Hall dorm at the jail, the male trustees would lodge in the new Trustee Housing facility. Having the male inmates at a separate facility would be easier for jail staff and those individuals who pick the inmates up for their work detail. The THF would allow for better monitoring during the pick up and drop off process without causing congestion in the main booking area at the jail, which could potentially present a safety issue.
“I want the public to know that this is innovative, because not everybody’s doing this.. But, it is a very creative way first of all protecting the jail and also addressing jail crowding,” Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom said. “We are pushing that limit.” Newsom said.
According to County Auditor Shannah Aulsbrook the Trustee Housing Facility would be paid completely out of American Recovery Program funds or state and local recovery funds,
“This would be from a grant. This is one of the ways it can be spent. There is not match required. We’d just spend from our part of the funding so there would be no dollars spent,” Aulsbrook said.
A new trustee housing facility would require adding four more jailers to the payroll, to be in compliance with inmate-officer requirements. Those salaries would not be paid out of the ARP funding, however, Aulsbrook noted. Tatum noted additional jailers are needed at the jail. Three of the additional jail staff could be utilized in the county jail while the trustee facility is mostly empty during the day time hours when trustees are out working. One jailer would be at the facility at all times, according to Tatum. The jail does receive enough revenue which should cover the cost of the additional jailers, Aulsbrook said.
County officials are proposing cleaning up county-owned property on the north side of Houston Street across from the sheriff’s office and jail and building the Trustee Housing Facility on the site.
Hopkins County Commissioners Court at their July 26 meeting authorized issuance of requests for proposals for qualifications for architectural services related to American Rescue funds or state and local fiscal recovery funds, for a Trustee Housing Facility.
Aulsbrook noted that currently she, county grants coordinator Beth Wisenbaker and the Commissioners Court currently make up the committee that review proposals to ensure the qualifications meet standards set by the county for the project. She recommended that the sheriff also be included on the committee as he should have a huge say as the project progresses. The trustee housing facility will need to meet not only state jail standards but also fit local use needs as well.
Tatum said a representative from jail standards commission actually approached him at a recent out-of-town meeting about the project. The official had already heard what Hopkins County wanted to to and “seemed to be very much on board,” as it would reinforce COVID-19 distancing and additional measures to reduce changes of contraband entering the jail.
Community Safe Room
Hopkins County Commissioners Court also authorized issuance of requests for proposals for qualifications for architectural services related to a Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant Programs application the county is submitted with a goal of constructing a community safe room. If approved, the grant is an 80/20 percent match, with 80 percent coming from the grant and the county providing a 20 percent match.
The safe room would serve multiple purposes. it could serve as a community shelter in times of extreme weather, or a site for certain types of mass distributions, such as a safe space from which vaccines could be administered. The Community Safe Room too would likely serve as a new Emergency Operations Center for the entire county, as first the sheriff’s office training room then the administrative offices above the south side ambulance dorm at Hopkins County Fire Department/Intermodal Facility served as EOCs for several months after COVID-19 pandemic spread across the area.
The facility, as proposed, would be located across from the county jail, would include restrooms and a kitchenette. In order to make it as safe a location as possible, the community safe room would be built much like the portion of Hopkins County Law Enforcement Center where inmates are housed. It would have solid concrete floors, as well as solid walls and ceilings to make it sturdy, more able to withstand extreme weather such as a tornado.
The community safe room being constructed depends on the county being approved for funding to use for that purpose.
Cumby Man Jailed On Felony Theft Warrant
A 66-year-old Cumby man was jailed on a felony theft warrant Saturday, according to arrest reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office deputies were made aware of a warrant issued for Paul Wesley Cash’s arrest.

Saturday was the second time Cash has been jailed this year. He was arrested April 19, 2021, on a theft charge.

Ransom reportedly claimed to be walking walking home from the store to his residence at a Main Street trailer park. However, the man was stopped at Henderson Street at South League Street, which Scott noted is off the normal path that would have taken Ransom back to his residence.
During a pat down for officer safety, Ransom allegedly became extremely nervous but agreed to let the officer search his pockets. Sgt. Scott reported finding a straw he believed to have been used for narcotics use in the 48-year-old’s front pocket.

North Davis Street Traffic Stop
Dustin Michael Caldwell was arrested in the 300 block of North Davis Street at 2:25 p.m. July 24 for possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance in a drug-fee zone. He was stopped for an expired registration on the Lincoln MKX he and 2 juveniles were traveling in.
The 40-year-old Rowlett man, SCU Sgt. Joe Scott noted in arrest reports, was extremely nervous to the point he was trembling and couldn’t answer basic questions. He wasn’t truthful about having a criminal history and refused to let the officer search the car, Scott alleged.
An officer was contacted; he arrived with his police K-9 a short time later. The canine conducted a sniff search around the vehicle. The K9 handler advised the dog gave a positive alert on the vehicle, giving the officers probable cause to search it. A vial containing less than 1 gram of suspected methamphetamine and pills were loathed inside the man’s backpack.
Caldwell was arrested. The juveniles were released to an adult. The stop was located within 1,000 feet of a child care facility, making it a drug-free zone, warranting an enhancement, Scott alleged in arrest reports.
He was released from Hopkins County jail July 25, 2021, on a $10,000 bond on the felony controlled substance charge, according to jail reports.
East Industrial Drive Traffic Stop
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Tanner Steward and Deputy J.

The sport utility vehicle stopped in a motel parking lot and a 35-year-old Ore City man got out.
While talking to the deputies, Michael Scott Harvey reportedly gave conflicting stories and his hand visibly shook.
