CROCKETT – During the April 11 meeting of the Houston County Commissioners Court, April 21, 2023, was proclaimed “San Jacinto Day.” The request for the declaration was made by the Sons of the Republic of Texas in honor of the Battle of San Jacinto, which took place on April 21, 1836 - the day when the final battle of the Texas Revolution was fought, and Texas won its independence from Mexico.
The court also proclaimed the week of April 30 to May 7 as “Soil & Water Stewardship Week.” The request for the proclamation was from the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB), which asked that districts across the state encourage the wise and productive use of natural resources to ensure clean and healthy environmental and economic growth.
Other agenda items included:
• Approving orders allowing retail fireworks permit holders to sell fireworks to the
public in celebration of San Jacinto Day and Memorial Day
• Approving the request for the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund and Interlocal Agreement with Piney Woods Fine Arts Association for the Lightnin’ Hopkins Summer Series in the Park to be held on June 2, 9, 16 and 23 in the Davy Crockett Park.
• Approving the purchase of a cellular phone booster to be installed at the Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 office in the new Annex and necessary budget amendments.
• Approving the purchase/rent of Security Shredding for $66.00 per quarter for the Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 office in the new
Annex and necessary budget amendments.
The court also accepted donations from Michael Woolhouse for $1,280.00 and from Pennie Jackson for $1,250.00 for improvements to CR 3555 in Precinct 3.
Commissioners also voted to approve moving the Commissioners Court meeting time from 10 a.m. to 9 a.m.
