Henderson County Animal Shelter New Board Members

The Henderson County Commissioners court holds weekly meetings on Tuesday mornings to discuss county business.

Mark Brown, Executive Director of 911 in Henderson County, presented to the Commissioners court, information for upgrades to the computer system. These upgrades are due to Microsoft not supporting the system currently used after 2019 and funds will need to be allocated to facilitate these upgrades in the future.

The Henderson County Animal Shelter now has a new board to oversee its caretaking.

Five members were chosen and these citizens will be responsible for overseeing one of the two animal shelters in the Cedar Creek Lake area that help house local displaced, abandoned, seized or otherwise needing adopted animals.

Norma Lambert with the Henderson County Humane Society
Amy Lambert, Shelter Representative
Dr. John Morton - Athens, Veterinarian
Lieutenant Jason McIntyre, APD - City of Athens Representative
Michael Bynum, Treasurer, County Representative

Henderson County residents will also be paying a different pay schedule for trash disposal or dump fees. The new rates will be as follows:
$12 per cubic yard

If anyone is interested in attending, meetings are held in the Commissioners court, which is located in the Courthouse annex off the square in Athens, Texas. They are on Tuesday mornings at 9am.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.40 feet above pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
