Summary
The Mason County Commissioners Court adopted a resolution opposing the Bell County East–Big Hill 765 kV transmission line and added Ranch Branch Creek to the resolution; the motion carried with all five commissioners in favor.
The Mason County Commissioners Court voted to adopt a resolution opposing the Bell County East–Big Hill 765 kilovolt transmission line project and amended the measure to include Ranch Branch Creek. Commissioner Fred Estes moved to adopt the resolution; Commissioner Reggie Loeffler seconded, and the court recorded all five members in favor.
The resolution, recorded in the Commissioners Court Minutes (Vol. 23, pp. 662-664), formalizes the county’s opposition to the proposed 765 kV line and specifically adds Ranch Branch Creek to the list of features the court seeks to protect. The minutes note the motion carried without further recorded debate or amendment.
The court did not provide additional details in the minutes about next procedural steps, legal strategy or communications with project proponents; the action stands as an expression of the county’s official position. The resolution was adopted as part of the regular meeting held on Sept. 8, 2025.
