Flooding Forces Closure of Road to Nacogdoches County Subdivision

The road is closed and anyone who does not live in this subdivision is requested not stay off this roadway. . Sheriff's Deputies will increase patrols in this area and anyone caught using this roadway (who does not live in this area) will be stopped and possibly cited.

Nacogdoches County is monitoring the situation daily, anyone that lives in this subdivision that needs assistance is asked to contact the Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office.
