AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will increase its presence on the roads to ensure highways are safe as part of a spring break enforcement campaign. From March 12 through March 20, the Texas Highway Patrol will be out looking for people who are violating traffic laws as part of Operation CARE (Crash Awareness and Reduction Effort). The Operation will include St. Patrick’s Day.“Spring break is a time for fun and relaxation, but we need to make sure people are enjoying their vacations responsibly and following the law,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “DPS will step up enforcement efforts on the roads, and we hope drivers will obey the posted speed limits, along with all the other laws, to make it possible for everyone to have a safe spring break.”

As he looks out upon the crowd at the Madison County Rodeo and prepares to preform in front of his hometown Friday, Madisonville’s own Tye Coleman will likely think of his roots and where his journey first began with the promise of a remarkable career looming on the horizon.

The Madisonville baseball team split four matchups in their final tournament of the pre-district season in La Grange Friday and Saturday with losses to Taylor and Navarro as well as wins over Bellville and Cuero. The Mustangs battled Bellville again in a standalone matchup Tuesday and will open district play against Robinson at MHS March 25.

First, thank you to our GOOD LORD! Deciding to run for District Attorney was a prayerful decision and all the glory goes to HIM! Thank you to my family, friends, and this generous community for your donations of money, time, and prayer! This campaign would not have been possible without #TeamCain. THANK YOU to ALL the Madison County Voters! I am overwhelmed by the election results, and want to thank each and every one of you for the support and trust Madison County has shown in me.
