Early voting times will vary in an attempt to accommodate everyone’s schedules. Early voting will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at all three locations Feb. 20-23. Early voting will be available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at all three locations on Feb. 24, a Saturday, and from 1-7 p.m. at all three locations on Feb. 25, a Sunday.

A total of eight contractors placed a total of 11 bids in the re-bid for the roof replacement at the county-owned building located at 321 N. Beatty Ave. in Livingston. The Court approved accepting the bid from Bonner Roofing & Metal out of Diboll. The bid was for $131,000 with a 20-year warranty, a start date of March 3 and an end date of April 5.
The Court was slated to consider action regarding the bid for the purchase of one vehicle for Precinct 3 Road and Bridge. However, as no bids were received, the Court approved rebidding it.
