Signage for the proper photo identifi-
cation voters are to use when casting bal-
lots continued to hang along signs with
the old state rules throughout Denton
County on Thursday.
The Denton Record-Chronicle visited
polling locations in Highland Village,
Flower Mound, Lewisville and Lake Dal-
las on Thursday. Of those polling sites,
Highland Village, Lake Dallas and Lew-
isville had signs hanging for both the new
photo ID regulations as well as the old.
One poll worker in Highland Village said
she wasn’t sure why the two signs were
placed.
In July, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of
Appeals ruled that a Texas law requiring
voters to present at least one of seven
forms of photo identification to vote was
discriminatory and that it violated the
Voting Rights Act.
Following the ruling, new rules were
drawn up for what registered voters could
present at the polls when voting. It allows
registered voters who don’t possess or who
are unable to obtain one of the seven ap-
proved forms of photo ID the opportunity
to vote if they present supporting docu-
mentation, such as a birth certificate, util-
ity bill or bank statement in their name,
proving their identity.
Lannie Noble, county elections admin-
istrator, said he doesn’t believe the pres-
ence of signage with the old rules at some
Denton County polling locations is inten-
tional.

Lyndon LaPlante, Denton High School Broncos volunteer assistant quarterbacks coach, watches on the field as the
Broncos defeat the Wichita Falls Rider Raiders last Friday in Denton.
physical contact could be life-threaten-
ing. But that hasn’t stopped him from
immersing himself in the intricacies of
high school football for the past 15 years.
Although they call LaPlante a coach,
he’s really an unpaid volunteer who as-
sists the coaching staff and the players
with whatever they need.
At 8-1 and 4-1 in district play, the
Broncos are gearing up for their third
consecutive playoff appearance, but for
LaPlante, this run to the playoffs maybe
his last as he contemplates his next ca-
reer move.
“It’s not that I want to retire, but it’s
because I’m getting older and I want to
spread my wings somewhere,” LaPlante
said. “I love coach Atkinson, I do. It can
be hard for me screaming and hollering.
I don’t realize that the noise is hard on
my ears.”
LaPlante is planning to announce his
decision on his future in early February,
but until then he wants to soak in every
one of Colt Atkinson’s final games as
Bronco quarterback. Colt, a senior, is
coach Atkinson’s son.
For the coach, the idea of losing La-
Plante and his son in the same season is
a tough thought.

t his core, Lyndon LaPlante is
simply a happy guy who loves the
game of football, but for the city
of Denton and the Denton High School
football team, he is a source of inspira-
tion and a part of their family.
LaPlante, who is 29, has been the as-
sistant quarterbacks coach under Den-
ton High coach Kevin Atkinson for the
past five seasons, but football has been
ingrained in him since he was a kid.
As a kid with Down syndrome, he
couldn’t play football because violent
He said the old signs were included in
the election equipment that was packed
for pre-delivery to election judges. Be-
cause the new regulations were released in
September, posters for the new regula-
tions along with the Reasonable Impedi-
ment Declaration forms — which voters
must fill out indicating why they’re unable
to obtain one of the seven accepted forms
of photo ID — had to be printed by the
county and they were given to election
judges in a separate packet.

LEWISVILLE - Hello, nostalgia.
Drive-in movies are back in Denton
County, projecting on five 75-foot-wide
screens scattered around 35 acres off of
State Highway Business 121 for the first
time tonight in Lewisville.
This is the first drive-in to open in Den-
ton County since The Rancho Drive-In
closed in the early 1980s. Since then, the
concept has made a comeback, said Steve
Winn, chief operating officer of Coyote
Drive-In. The drive-in is at 1901 Midway

Coyote Drive-In already operates a
four-screen theater in Fort Worth, and af-
ter being in operation for three years, the
Coyote team has learned what would work
at a larger drive-in like the one in Lewis-
ville, Winn said.
‘A lot of it was to bring a new twist on a
true American, iconic activity, which was
going to the drive-in,” he said. “Through
the years we’ve learned what we’d want to
adjust and add to the mix to make the ex-
perience even better.”
