Hunt County Sheriff Terry Jones addressed the Campbell City Council at its Feb. 23 meeting, offering a point of contact at his office and saying the county would ensure more frequent patrols in Campbell. "We are a low crime city," Jones said, adding that residents could reach out to his administrative assistant for requests.
Mayor Ken Padilla and Sheriff Jones discussed speed limits on South Patterson, which Jones said is a TxDOT road and therefore outside the city's unilateral authority. Council members were told the city may petition TxDOT to recommend a lower speed limit in targeted areas; no ordinance or formal petition was initiated at the meeting.
