Walker County Judge C**t Christian and County Commissioners proudly recognized October 4–10, 2026, as National 4-H Week, honoring the outstanding youth who participate in the 4-H program and the positive impact they make throughout our community.
The 4-H program is much more than raising livestock and participating in agricultural projects. It teaches young people the importance of responsibility, teamwork, public speaking, community service, and leadership. Through hands on experiences, these young individuals gain confidence, develop strong values, and build a foundation for future success.
Judge Christian and the County Commissioners recognize the commitment of Walker County's 4-H members, who dedicate countless hours to their projects, competitions, and community activities. These young people represent the future of our county, demonstrating that hard work, determination, and a willingness to serve others can make a lasting difference.

October is recognized as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the Walker County Commissioners along with Judge Christian are joining communities across the nation in raising awareness and showing support for those affected by domestic violence.
In recognition of this important month, SAAFE House has placed beautiful purple ribbons around the gazebo at the Walker County Courthouse. The ribbons serve as a visible reminder of the importance of raising awareness, supporting survivors, honoring victims, and standing together against domestic violence.
Purple is the official color of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, symbolizing courage, survival, peace, and hope. Each ribbon represents a message of encouragement and a reminder that no one facing domestic violence should have to face it alone.
SAAFE House plays an important role in our community by providing support and resources to individuals and families affected by domestic violence.
The Walker County Judge and Commissioners encourages residents to take a moment during October to reflect on the importance of domestic violence awareness and to recognize the work being done to help those in need.

Mark your calendars and schedule your appointment !

TxDOT Bryan District is set to host a car seat & booster seat inspection event in Walker County…
Schedule your appointment today!

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death among children. While most people believe their children are properly buckled up, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration points out that 46% of all car seats are misused. The best way to
keep young children safe in your vehicle is to make sure they’re properly buckled up in a
car seat. That means selecting a car seat that’s appropriate for a child’s age and size and installing it correctly.

The TXDOT Bryan District is hosting a car seat and booster seat inspection event, Thursday, October 15th, 2026, from 3:00PM – 6:00PM. Child Passenger Safety Technicians will provide education on proper usage.
Children must be present for the event.
For questions, please contact Bob Colwell at [email protected] or call 979-778-9764.

What was once meant to spread hate can become something that brings a community together.

After hateful graffiti appeared on a local wall, an idea began to grow. Instead of simply covering it up, why not transform the space into a beautiful community mural filled with hope, kindness, unity, and love.

The goal was simple, take something intended to divide and turn it into something that brings people together.💙
