The volunteers of Payne Springs Fire Rescue (PSFR) were alerted to a multiple vehicle collision on State Highway 198 just north of the bridge to Caney City July 30.  Units arrived to find everyone out of the vehicles with only minor injuries. The third vehicle that was involved was unoccupied and was parked on the side of the road. PSFR Engine 1, Engine 2 and Squad 1 responded. Additional volunteers also handled a medical call in the district at the same time.  

ATHENS–Former Eustace police officer Cody Mitchell Burris was sentenced July 31 to the maximum sentence of 20 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and a $10,000 fine for Possession with Intent to Promote Child Pornography, according to Henderson County District Attorney Jenny Palmer. Burris’ sentence was pronounced by 392nd District Court Judge R. Scott McKee.  
Twenty years is the maximum sentence for this crime, a second-degree felony, said the DA.
