Texas Senate Passes School Safety Bill That Would Require Districts To Bolster Their Active-Shooter Plans
May 22, 2023 – Texas Senate gave final approval to a priority school safety bill on Sunday that would give the state more power to push school districts to create active-shooter plans, as well as requiring a mental health evaluation for certain employees and puts restrictions on those who can carry a gun within school.
The Senate unanimously passed it’s latest version of House Bill 3, authored by Rep. Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock. The Bill now heads back to the House, which needs to either accept the new version or negotiate the differences with the Senate before the legislation heads to Gov. Abbott’s desk.
The proposal would require the Texas School Safety Center, a Texas State University think tank that has been reviewing schools’ safety protocols since the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting, to conduct checks of a school district’s buildings at least once every five years to make sure they are following the state’s safety standards.
Similarly to Senate Bill 11, authored by Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, HB 3 would create a safety and security department within the Texas Education Agency and give the department the authority to push school districts to establish robust active-shooter protocols. Whoever fails to meet the agency’s standards could be put under the state’s supervision.
The Bill would also require the TEA to develop standards for notifying parents of “violent Activity” on campus and set up school safety review teams to conduct vulnerability assessments of all school campuses once a year.
In the budget proposals for the next two years, the House allocated $1.6 billion for school security while the Senate called for an investment of nearly $1.3 billion. Members from both chambers are still negotiating what will make it in the final budget.
The chambers have already sent Senate Bill 838, authored by Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, to Abbott’s desk. The Bill would require districts to use part of their school safety budget to place silent panic alert buttons in each classroom. These buttons would immediately alert law enforcement agencies during emergencies. The proposal appears to be in response to the police radio failures inside Robb Elementary during the Uvalde shooting.
The version of HB 3 that has passed in the Senate removes two key components from Burrows’ bill: it would remove the requirement for schools to have armed security officer at every campus and lowers the money schools get to invest in securing their campuses from $100 to $10 per student. Currently, that figure is $9.72.
Sen. José Menéndez, D-San Antonio, tried to amend the Bill to raise the allotment to $100 once again, but it failed.
This version of the Bill also states that those that carry a weapon on campus cannot act as law enforcement such as making arrests unless it is to prevent a death or a serious bodily injury.
Under this Bill, school employees that regularly interact with children would need to complete an “evidence-based mental health first-aid training program.” The Texas Education Agency would reimburse the employee for the time and money spent on the training.
Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, tried to add an amendment that would give schools $100,000 to address mental health needs, but ultimately, took it down as Nichols, the Bill’s sponsor, said HB 3 was not the right “vehicle” for such amendment and lawmakers would instead study mental health funding in schools during the interim.

Sulphur Springs Emergency Sirens Will Be Tested May 22
May 22, 2023 – Emergency sirens will be tested in Sulphur Springs at noon today by the Sulphur Springs Emergency Management Office.
The test is to gauge the reliability of the emergency warning system and is conducted to find any potential flaws in the system so they can be corrected prior to a real emergency situation. The sirens could be sounded not only for weather warnings such as tornadoes, which are the most common in the area, but also in case of any emergency that could affect the safety and lives of citizens in Sulphur Springs.
Recent tests have shown the emergency sirens to be a ready source of warning in case of emergencies such as tornados or other threats to safety.
This will only be a test.
Local Farmer, Rancher and Attorney Heath Hyde Launches Campaign for State House
SULPHUR SPRINGS, TX – A local farmer, rancher and attorney, Heath Hyde, has announced his intention
to run for State Representative in Texas House District 2. The district includes all of Hopkins, Hunt and
Van Zandt Counties. It will have a new representative due to the resignation and expulsion from the
Texas House of former Rep. Bryan Slaton. Hyde believes his background in agriculture, small business,
and the law, together with his life-long connection to the district make him uniquely qualified to serve in
the legislature.
“Our community and our state face a great many challenges in the years ahead. As a Christian
conservative, someone who is tied to our land, and someone who has an expertise in the law, I believe
that I can make an actual difference and help advance the conservative agenda for our state and nation,”
said Hyde.
Hyde is a native of Hopkins County and a 4th generation farmer, rancher, and dairyman. He’s also been a
registered Charolais breeder for 24 years. Beyond his work in agriculture, Hyde is a former assistant
district attorney and an attorney in private practice since 2007 in all three of the counties in this district.
He is licensed to practice law in federal court in the northern, eastern, and western districts of Texas and
was a clerk to former U.S. Attorney Jim Rolfe.
Hyde continued, “In the courtroom, I’ve seen first-hand when government prosecutors try to be judge
and jury and play politics with our legal system. Just look at what they’ve done to President Trump. For
nearly three decades, I have been a check on the judicial system fighting to ensure that our
Constitutional rights are never infringed upon by a tyrannical government. Also, my life in agriculture
has taught me a great deal about the need to defend private property rights, our 2nd Amendment rights,
and how vital small businesses have been in making Texas the envy of the country.”
Hyde is a 4th generation resident of Hopkins County. He graduated from Sulphur Springs High School in 1989. He then went on to Texas A&M and received his undergraduate degree in the class of 1993, and
then earned his law degree from the Texas Wesleyan School of Law in 1996. He has been a member of
First Baptist Church of Sulphur Springs for over 50 years and serves as a director and Sunday school
teacher. He is also a recipient of the Forrest Gregg Courage Award.
“I am passionate about putting my conservative values and experience to work for the folks of this
district,” Hyde concluded. “I have lived my American Dream, and I want to make sure that future
generations have the freedom, safety, and opportunity to live theirs right here in Hopkins, Hunt, and Van
Zandt Counties. I fight for my neighbors every day, so if I am elected, you will have an experienced
advocate fighting for you on the issues that matter most like securing the border, defending our Second
Amendment, protecting human life, supporting law enforcement, protecting private property rights and
Texas agriculture, growing our economy, and providing top-quality education and opportunities to our
kids.”

A Mexican White Oak for Your Yard
By David Wall, Mount Pleasant Master Gardener
Mexican white oak (Quercus polymorpha) or its alias as Monterrey oak is incredible tree that remains to date relatively unknown. A primary reason is that until 1992 when a small stand was discovered in SW TX, it was not known to exist in the U.S. Normal range is from Guatemala through Mexico. Since 1992, it has become adapted to hardiness zones 7-10, and is considered a highly desirable tree.
Mexican white oak (MWO) is an exception to the rule that fast-growing trees are trash trees. They grow to roughly 40’ but quickly get there, growing up to 4’ a year in good soil and climate. They start out thin and gangly but fill out to 2’ in diameter. Lifespan is roughly 100 years. Limbs and leaves provide a broad, thick and rounded foliage.
MWO leaves are atypical oak, as there are no definitive lobes. They’re four to five inches long and can have smooth or serrated edges. Different trees can have can have different leaf shapes. Leaves are often serrated when the tree is very small, becoming smoother as the tree matures. They may start out with a reddish-peach color before turning bright green and finishing as a deep green color.
Like live oaks, MWOs hold onto their leaves until late winter or early spring. Immediately after defoliation, re-foliation proceeds very fast, with bare limbs only existing for 2-8 weeks depending on the hardiness zone.
MWOs do well in wet-dry areas and river banks-mountainous areas and are considered very healthy. They’re very drought tolerant, and triple digit temperatures don’t slow them down. While they prefer neutral to alkaline sols, they do well in many different soil types.
Prune lower limbs to raise the canopy. Otherwise, little care is required. Google nurseries for MWOs in stock. If none local, keep searching!
Coble Charged with Evading Arrest
May 21, 2023 – At around 2AM, Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the Cumby, TX area after reports of gunfire were received.

The Charger eventually stopped at the intersection of CR 4102 and CR 1120.
Coble, a 24 year-old resident of Cumby, was removed from the Charger and arrested. His Dodge was impounded. He is charged with:
38.04(B)(2)(A) EVADING ARREST DET W/VEH
The color of Coble’s Charge was determined to be Green. Deputies determined Coble was not involved in the ‘shots fired’ call.
