🎉 Congratulations to Deputy Sergio Torres on receiving a Letter of Commendation! 🎉

On November 11, 2025, Deputy Torres located and pursued a reckless motorcyclist traveling at speeds exceeding 130 mph on Interstate 40. While working alone and without immediate backup, Deputy Torres safely apprehended the suspect, who initially provided a false identity and was later discovered to have an active murder warrant out of Las Vegas.

Through his professionalism, keen observations, and swift actions, Deputy Torres helped bring a dangerous wanted suspect into custody without incident.

We are proud to recognize Deputy Torres for his dedication, outstanding service, and commitment to protecting the citizens of Oldham County. Please join us in congratulating him on this well-deserved honor! 👏🚔⭐️

🔔Statewide Emergency Alert System Test

The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) will be conducting a statewide test of emergency alert systems on Thursday, April 2, 2026, between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

This means every cell phone in the county may receive an alert, similar to an AMBER Alert.

Please note: This message will clearly state that it is only a test.
There is no emergency.

These tests help ensure emergency communication systems are working properly and allow communities to practice receiving important safety alerts.

Residents are encouraged to be aware of the test and help spread the word so no one is alarmed when the alert is received.

Thank you for helping keep our community prepared and informed!
