from last week are also as followed. The individuals named have been magistrated and formally informed of the charges against them.

However, just because these individuals were arrested and magistrated does not mean they are guilty of the crimes they are charged with

committing. Also not everyone charged with a crime is alleged to have committed the crime in Walker County, but perhaps was simply arrest-

ed in Walker County on outstanding warrant(s) while in Walker County. In instances in which individuals were arrested on outstanding warrants,

their original conviction and the reason they are on probation or parole, if available, is included in parenthesis set.

TPWD Accepting 2022-23 Drawn Hunt Permit Applications New opportunities and scenery are available to hunters this fall through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) drawn hunt permits program, now accepting applications for a shot at almost 10,000 permits in 62 hunt categories. The permits allow drawn

hunts on both public and private lands throughout Texas. Among the offerings available through the online system are hunts for whitetailed and mule deer, pronghorn, turkey, alligator, dove and guided packages for exotic species and bighorn sheep. “This season, we will con-

duct drawings in 62 hunt categories,” said Kelly Edmiston, TPWD Public Hunting Program Coordinator. “These drawings include selections for U.S. Forest Service Antlerless Deer Permits, both adult and youth hunts, 18 e-Postcard Selections for hunters using the $48 Annual Pub-

lic Hunting Permit (APH), and hunts conducted on 10 National Wildlife Refuges (NWR) in Texas.” Applicants for e-Postcard hunts and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Antlerless Deer Permits must have a current APH permit to apply. New areas included in this

year’s drawn hunt catalog include the Muleshoe NWR and Powderhorn State Park. Devil’s Sinkhole SNA, Lost Maples SP, Village Creek SP, and Stephen F. Austin SP have re-entered the program this season. TPWD also created two new NWR hunt categories, for Antlerless Deer and Alligator.

Public Notice NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER RENEWAL PERMIT NO. WQ0011219001 APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Point Aquarius Municipal Utility District, 2727 Allen Parkway, Suite 1100, Houston, Texas 77019, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0011219001, which authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 700,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on December 10, 2021. The facility is located at 11783 Sagittarius Drive East, in the City of Willis, Montgomery County, Texas 77318. The treated effluent is discharged directly to Lake Conroe in Segment No. 1012 of the San Jacinto River Basin. The designated uses for Segment No. 1012 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. All determinations are preliminary and subject to additional review and/or revisions. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application. https:// tceq.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=db5bac4 4 a f b c 4 6 8 b b d d d 3 6 0 f 8 1 6 8 2 5 0 f & m a r k er=-95.5922%2C29.8725&level=12 The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Montgomery County Central Library, 104 Interstate 45 North,

Conroe, Texas in Montgomery County and at Huntsville Public Library, 1219 13th Street, Huntsville, Texas in Walker County. PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period; and the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing.” If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s repre-

sentative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In

Some time ago, an odd photo appeared on the internet that showed a gray triggerfish with human-like teeth.

The strange photo was shared thousands of times all around the world. People were amazed that a fish could have teeth that look like ours.

The Legal Corner by Sam A. Moak I M P O RTA N C E OF TITLE INSURANCE The information in this column is not intended as legal advice but to provide a general understanding of the law. Any readers with a legal problem, including those whose questions are addressed here, should consult an attorney for advice on their particular circumstances. Real estate is as HOT as the temperatures here in Texas. You hear of property selling before it is on the market. But don’t get in too big of a rush. What if you learned after you spent what is typically the largest expenditure in a person’s life, that your deed was not valid or that it was illegal? Think this could not happen to you? Well I am here to tell you it happens right here in Walker County, Texas. And if you are not careful, it could happen to you.

I have seen, right here in Walker County, people trying to convey property using an Earnest Money Contract as an instrument of conveyance. An Earnest Money Contract does not convey anything, even if it is filed for record. What is worse, the misinformed folks who used the Earnest Money Contract also attached an addendum for seller financing thinking it created some type of lien on the property protecting the seller’s interest. What this action did cause was what is called a “cloud on the title.” Each year thousands of lawsuits are filed involving title problems. Many title problems can arise which cause the complete or partial loss of your home or business property. Even the most careful search of the public records will not find every title problem. Because some problems are

hidden, your title may appear to be perfect when in fact there may be a problem that is a land mine waiting to explode. Another common issue is an “illegal deed” because the transaction does not meet the guidelines for the governing entity. Normally, a surveyor would catch this, but if you do not hire a surveyor familiar with the local rules, this may go undetected. All surveys are not equal. If your survey does not include an abstract (research of the public records) to identify easements and matters that effect your property, then you may have been shorted. A proper survey should include an abstract of the public records and identify on the survey plat all easements of public record that effect the property as well as setback lines and structures that are on the property. Owner’s title insur-

ance protects you against financial loss caused by covered title risks. The title insurer, without expense to you, will defend you against an attack on the title to your property as insured. If the attack is successful, the title insurer will indemnify you against the defined financial loss up to the policy limit. A small, one-time premium provides you with this valuable protection. To give you an idea of the types of title problems that may occur, I have compiled this list of “Land Mines” that could result in partial or complete loss of your property or an expensive lawsuit. “LAND MINES” 1. Property still held by a deceased owner whose interest has not been properly conveyed to the surviving heirs. 2. Inadequate legal descriptions. 3. Defective acknowledgments. 4. Mistakes in recording legal documents. 5. Misinterpretation of Wills. 6. Undisclosed or missing heirs. 7. Deeds by minors. 8. Surviving children omitted from a Will. 9. Marital rights of spouse allegedly, but not legally, divorced. 11. Deed of community property recited to be separate proper-

Walker County Press-Page 10

ty. 12. Instruments executed under fabricated, expired or not properly recorded powers of attorney. 13. Birth or adoption of children after date of will. 14. Pipeline or utility easements affecting the property. 15. Easements established through continued use but not discovered by a survey or in the public record. 16. Errors in indexing of legal documents by the County. 17. Mistaken reports furnished from taxing authorities. 18. Deeds to or from defunct corporations. 19. Documents executed under duress. 20. Errors in tax records. (For example, listing payment against wrong property account.) 21. Forged deeds, releases, or other instruments. 22. Deeds by persons supposedly single but secretly married. 23. Deeds from persons not competent to handle their affairs. Problems like these listed above, and many more, happen every day. Because we assist clients with real estate matters, we see these issues quite often. An uncovered “Land Mine” could result in an expensive lawsuit. A title insurance pol-

icy insures that these matters have been diligently researched and addressed before closing the transaction. You should understand there are different types of title insurance policies and different coverages and exemptions. The type of policy you receive and the exemptions determine what protections you have. If you received title insurance coverage when you purchased your property, then you should have peace of mind your investment is safe and if a “Land Mine” should arise, you will have a solution. Buying or selling a home or real property, is often the largest single investment a person or couple makes. Therefore, you should seek the assistance of a real estate agent, attorney and title company familiar with your jurisdiction’s requirements before making your investment. Sam A.

the next exit. The passenger vehicle was pushed over 300 feet after the impact. 911 callers reported that the car’s occupants were trapped and critically injured. The NWFD crew on duty at the New Waverly station responded immediately and arrived to find both vehicles heavily damaged and multiple critically injured victims. The first of several Walker County EMS crews soon arrived, while 911 Dispatchers called for multiple medical helicopters to land on the freeway. An

additional NWFD crew from the station on Hwy 75 arrived and together Firefighters and EMS crews began extricating the trapped victims from the car, including three adults who went into cardiac arrest on scene. CPR was initiated on all three, with one adult eventually pronounced deceased, while the other two were transported to area hospitals. The remaining adult and both children were each flown by medical helicopters with serious injuries. An Engine company from the Huntsville

Fire Department coordinated the landing zone for the three helicopters and multiple law enforcement units responded along with TxDOT to secure the scene and begin the crash investigation. DPS Troopers conducted “Operation Holiday” over the July 4th holiday and Troopers were actively targeting drivers who violated traffic laws, including those speeding, not wearing their seat belts or driving while intoxicated.

responded to aid in the search. About one hour after the swimmer was reported missing, the victim was located in the water and his body was recovered. The investigation into this tragic event will be led by Texas Parks and Wildlife. In 2021,

Texas Game Wardens reported 7 drownings and 2 boating fatalities on Texas waterways during the July 4th holiday weekend. Texans are reminded to always wear a life jacket and to never mix alcohol with boating or swimming.

Sunday Observations by Christy

July 4, 2022. Independence Day. That moment that we celebrate freedoms, rights, and all that those things entail. These days it also highlights the division, the discord, and the overall unrest in a very polarized country. Far from that whole United thing. As a 55 year old, I remember July 4, 1976 very vividly. It was probably the first Independence Day that stuck in my memory bank. 9 years old that year, our country was celebrating the

country’s bicentennial. America was 200 years old. As far as the eye could see was the flag, the stars, red, white and blue. We were one nation. Under God. Indivisible. You know….. Americans. At least in my memory we were. But honestly, we weren’t. 1976 saw a president who assumed the position after his predecessor resigned. His prompt replacement was voted in that fall, and while a fantastic human, his presidential

legacy will never be that of strength. We were divided. We disliked the President or we didn’t. The civil rights movement was not far behind us, and as a southern state, forced desegregation was rolling into our schools. I remember those times as well. A lot of unknowns. The Middle East was rumbling with issues, and the beginnings of hostage taking and issues was on the forefront. Whether we liked it or not, the USA was not a picture of perfection in 1976. No matter how much I want to convince myself it was. All of this led me to wondering, why are we in what seems to be a constant state of turmoil? Then my grandfathers words spoke to me loud and clear. Because freedom, independence and all that goes with it is not easy. Respect for other opinions, beliefs, and theories is the first step to a peaceful nation. We sure seem to have lost that respect though. We all want our rights, our independence, our individuality…. Right up

until someone else disagrees with us. You see nowhere in our constitution does it say, force your beliefs on others. It doesn’t say, only one person is right all the time. Happy Independence Day y’all….. as that pesky thing called the Declaration of Independence says, we all have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit

Thursday July 7 , 2022

of happiness. It does not say I have the right to force you to live as I do. Or that I must live as you. Pursuit of happiness. Our country has been at it for 246 years now. Still arguing, still fussing, still convinced that some are going to Hell in a hand basket. Now go blow up some things, cook food on a fire,

wear your best patriotic t, and remember who you are. Then respect those who feel differently than you as well. Practice your freedoms that way. Respect your rights that way. Respect America, by respecting others and their differences. That’s being American. That’s all any of us want.

TAKE THAT PICTURE

By John Jefferson

And improve it from others you’ve taken! Read on for a few tips on how to do that. It’s vacation time and hopefully your vacation plans haven’t been scuttled by inflation, COVID, the sizzling summer drought, or other roadblocks, real or imagined. So, whip out your packing list and add “Camera” at the top of the page. Use a red pen. Or circle it. There should be many picture-worthy sights wherever you go that

you might never see again. Family members having fun are precious memory makers, and on vacations, people usually appear more relaxed. Underneath “Camera,” add “Battery -extras and charger.” If you have a digital camera or even an earlier film camera (and know where you can get film developed for it), also add “extra flash cards” or “film.” Whenever I buy a new camera, the first extras purchased are an extra battery and a charger if the camera didn’t come with one (most do). If all you have is a cell phone, that’s fine.

I’ve had numerous cell phone pictures published (one this week!). Most folks have their phones with them 24/7. Some sleep with them. Always having your camera with you works well. But without it … you have NO PICTURES! I get a lot of images sent to me. Here are the most common problems that keep them from being really good. Hats and sunglasses are number one. Hats create shadows over the face and sunglasses make everyone look alike. The image could almost be Jimmy Hoffa, for all we know.

Walker County Press-Page 13

Unless there is a good reason for the shades, politely ask for their removal. And suggest they tip hats back just a little on their head. That looks cooler, anyway. And unless you’re taking mug shots for the police, there is

no law that says your subject must look directly into the camera. That’s too commonplace. A picture of someone looking slightly to one side, yet keeping both eyes in the picture, makes a much more interesting image. If they can

Pictures of people looking at something besides the camera are usually more interesting than the usual “grip and grin” images so often seen in outdoor magazines. For other photo tips from the author’s 17 years of leading photo workshops, see the column text. Photo by John Jefferson.

Lifestyle be looking at a fish they’ve caught, petting a puppy, smiling at someone off camera, or holding an object, it’s more natural looking. Of course, don’t have them squinting into the sun. That doesn’t mean always have the sun behind them. Doing so makes their faces look dark. Sidelight them. Or use a flash. Bright backgrounds darken exposures. Move as close to your subject as possible, whether it’s a person, a building, or an animal – unless it’s a bull in a pasture! It helps to keep the subject prominent and eliminates extraneous clutter. With deer and other critters, take a picture quickly before it runs; then try to improve it if the animal is still there. Don’t invade their comfort zone. In game harvest pictures, eliminate all blood. And always check the background for unwanted distractions. People taking selfies overlook this. One recently showed a pretty girl smiling into her outstretched phone. Behind and unseen by her were two amorous dogs.

Hot or Not?

We kept a rubber duck beside our bathtub when our grandchildren were very young. However, not just any rubber duck. It was a thermal sensitive one! The word “HOT” appeared on the duck if the water is too warm to bathe them in. Simple little device, but sure saved them a lot of pain. “Abstain from every appearance of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5:22) Simple little advice, but sure can save you from a lot of pain. Danny R.

Disclaimer: This column is the opinion of Publisher Wade A. Thibodeaux and may contain subject matter on a variety of topics, but usually contains humor of some description. An occasional serious thought may be thrown in to entice the reader to think.

I’m writing my column right after I received the email from Christy that contained her column and several thoughts ran through my head. That’s a scary place to be with all of those thoughts running around in all of that empty space, but I’ll try to gather those thoughts into a somewhat concise article. I was going to write about me doing something that I don’t do very often, but I have decided that since it’s Independence Day eve, I’ll just go ahead and try to write something that’s somewhat meaningful. As I was reading Christy’s column, it occurred to me that she is so much

smarter than I am and she almost always has something positive to say and that’s something that I need a big dose of...... positivity. I’m usually the one complaining about something and she’s the one that always sees the better side of things. So, I’m going to try to take her words of wisdom and try to build on top of them. I’m sure that my words won’t be near as eloquent as hers, but here goes. She is absolutely correct, this Country is as divided as I have ever seen, but that’s not necessarily something new. This Country was divided after the Vietnam War and in my opin-

ion, the side effects of a divided Nation were taken out on the wrong group of people. I was just a little too young to be in the pool of candidates for the draft, but I have acquired several friends that saw active combat in that arena and the way that they were treated when they returned from combat was just awful. There is no other way to put it. They were simply doing what their commanders asked of them and they were cussed, spit on, and other vile things when they returned home. However, I have had several conversations with a friend that saw active duty about recent protesters burn-

ing the American Flag. I couldn’t wrap my head around his opinion for a long time because he simply said that he fought for their freedom to do such a thing. I think that they should be shot on the spot for treason, but that would generate a lot of paperwork and is probably not a good thing, but it still burns my backside whenever I see footage on TV of protesters in our Country burning our flag. There are plenty of other examples of the freedoms that we enjoy in this Country and as I have matured in age, I have come to understand them a little better. I still don’t necessarily agree with a lot of the stuff that goes on in this Country, but it is what makes this a great place to live and raise a family. We live in the greatest place on Earth and enjoy many freedoms that

a lot of other places dream about. I, like Christy, wish that we could discuss our differences in a civilized, law abiding manner and come out on the other side a little smarter and a whole lot more reasonable. Nonetheless, we still live in a place that allows all of these freedoms and I sincerely hope that like I said in last week’s column that we don’t screw it up because with all of our faults, we are still in the greatest Country on Earth. So, I hope that everybody had a great Independence Day celebration with lots of food, some fireworks, and a sense of Pride in our Country. Now, I have a little room left(I really don’t know, but I’m going to take the room) to tell you about my rare experience. Saturday night, I took a friend out to dinner and then we went to

see the new Top Gun movie. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have watched a movie in a movie theatre, but things have changed. They have leather recliners that are comfortable and there’s just a few seats in each room. I didn’t count, but I’m sure there were less than 50 seats in the place. It was kinda late(10:00 pm) when the movie started, but she and I were the only ones in the room until the first part of the movie when two couples joined us. The movie was great, the two fountain drinks cost almost as much as the movie tickets, and my favorite line from the movie was “I don’t sail ships, I land on them”. I may have to go and visit these places called movie theatres a little more often, it was kinda fun. Till next time, I’m........Wade in the Shade.
