LUBBOCK, TX — Lubbock County took action against the proliferation of game rooms Monday in a heated debate between County Judge Curtis Parrish and Precinct 2 Commissioner Jason Corley. Ultimately, Parrish opposed the ordinance, arguing it legitimized game rooms, but the commissioners passed it 3-2, allowing the sheriff to regulate and enforce it.

CROSBY COUNTY, TX — This week marks the anniversary of a pivotal moment in the history of Crosby County, Texas — a day that sealed the fate of the once-thriving town of Emma. On September 17, 1910, the residents of Crosby County cast their votes in a heated election to determine the future of their county seat. By a vote of 198 to 120, the town of Crosbyton emerged victorious over Emma, beginning a slow and steady decline that would transform the once-prominent settlement into a ghost town.
