Hopkins County Clarifies COVID-19 Testing
As nationwide testing for Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to increase, so do the complexities of accurate numbers of overall tests and positive results. With both private labs, and state-run labs doing testing, accurate numbers of how many people have been tested in one county is almost impossible. Adding in the possibility that Hopkins County residents may go outside the county for testing, or other residents not living in Hopkins County come into our count for testing, the numbers get confusing quickly. Also, we have a number of health professionals working for different providers. If and when, a POSITIVE test result is returned from someone living in Hopkins County, the State of Texas will be notified immediately, no matter if a public or private lab, and then Hopkins County officials will be notified. The limited public dissemination of any information will then follow HIPPA guidelines to protect patient’s privacy but any CONFIRMED cases in Hopkins County will be known to authorites immediately after State notification, and that confirmed report will be announced through normal media outlets.
At this time, an estimated 31 screenings have been sent in for testing. Again, none have been returned with positive results. Testing, at this time, can take up to 3-7 days for a result. The testing turnaround time is expected to get shorter soon.
The following is a formal statement on estimated number of COVID-19 screenings.
Angry Como Woman Accused Of Endangering 3 Kids By Striking Gate With Truck
A 28-year-old Como woman was accused early Friday morning of endangering her three young children by striking a gate so hard it caused significant damage to the pickup she was driving. She allegedly told sheriff’s officers she acted in anger at her boyfriend.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputy Thomas Patterson and Deputy Chris Baumann were dispatched at about 11:35 p.m. March 19 to a Main Street address in Como, TX. Upon arrival deputies observed where a vehicle had left the driveway, after impacting a pipe gate entrance.
Sabrina Nicole Floyd was reportedly transported to an area hospital for a physical evaluation. After being released from the hospital, Floyd was transported to Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office, where she agreed to be interviewed by Patterson and Baumann.
The woman was alleged to have been under the influence of alcohol when she put the vehicle in reverse; her three children, ages 3, 6 and 8 years, were in the vehicle.
The woman allegedly admitted to the deputies that she had become infuriated that her “short time boyfriend” had locked the front gate to the property. In a fit of rage she then loaded her three children into the vehicle and “reversed into the gate, causing significant damage to the vehicle on the passenger’s side, including causing the skin of the vehicle to be opened up near where the juvenile 8-year-old child was seated,” Baumann and Patterson alleged in arrest reports. After hitting the gate, the vehicle reportedly slid into the SH 11 embankment.
To inflict the amount of damage caused, the vehicle had to have been accelerated at an aggressive rate. This particular stretch of State Highway 11 is routinely busy with large semi truck tractors hauling loads of cattle feed and milk.
The Interview
In the interview the female admitted to being in a rage. She also admitted to knowing there were tools just feet from where the vehicle was parked which could have opened the gate. “The accused did have other means or egress that would not have endangering the three children. The accused by her actions and recount of the night’s events, knowingly and recklessly placed her 3 children in imminent danger of death, bodily injury or physical or mental impairment. With the female’s admittance of these actions, she was placed into immediate custody to protect the children from her actions,” Patterson and Baumann wrote in arrest reports.
Sabrina Floyd was booked into Hopkins County jail at 2:15 a.m. March 20 on three counts of endangering of a child-criminal negligence, a state jail felony offense. She remained in Hopkins County jail Saturday morning. Her bond was set at $5,000 per charge, according to jail reports.

How To Pay Bills, Tickets While City of Sulphur Springs Offices Are Closed To Public
Sulphur Springs Public Library Offers Curbside Checkout
All City of Sulphur Springs facilities were closed to the public as of Friday, March 20, a precautionary measure to protect the community and city staff as more people are being diagnosed across the state, country and world with COVID-19. Sulphur Springs City government will continue to operate, with all operations at the core of city government still functioning. There will still be water, sewer, police, fire department and public works serving the community. Office employees will be at work, but business will be conducted online, by mail, email or phone.
Sulphur Springs City Manager Marc Maxwell said the decision to close the offices to the public was weighed carefully after monitoring the situation for over a week. City officials have been in daily contact with local, state and federal officials.
While no confirmed cases have been reported to the CDC or state health officials for Hopkins County, significantly more cases are being diagnosed daily across the state and country, with the cases moving closer to Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County.
The urging of CDC, state health officials, the President, Governor and county officials, for people to observe social distancing with 6-10 feet distance between individuals and social gatherings in the single digits also were considerations.
“We thought it the prudent thing to do,” Maxwell said. “We do not want to be part of community spread and we also want to protect our employees who do very critical work.”
Water, Other City Operations
The city will continue to be open to conduct business interactions by phone or email until further notice.
Those interested can apply online for plumbing, electrical, mechanical and lawn irrigation permits. City water bills, citations and pay property taxes may also be paid online.
City utility bills by cash or debit/credit card are to be paid at the kiosk in front of the city utility billing office or by check or money order in the night drop in the parking lot at 125 South Davis St.
All deliveries to the city are to be made to the public utilities billing office.
City staff may be contacted by calling 903-885-7541, and selecting the appropriate option or by email. A directory of city departments and information about each can also be found on the city website, as can the city index with email addresses and additional contact information.
Many of the permits and forms for business are also available for download from the city website.
“We can still be reached by phone and email. If it’s absolutely necessary to communicate in person, they can call to make an appointment,” Maxwell said.
Also, in response to COVID-19, some preventive measures may be taken in city departments that require city staff to be out in the public. For instance, employees in the water and sewer departments may rotate days and shifts with two working per shift, to better reduce likelihood of one becoming ill and infecting the whole department and necessitating all employees to be off work with it, according to the city manager. Other departments may limit actions in the community so that there is only necessary interaction with the community.
