County
to work
on law
changes
By Glenn Rea
Editor & Publisher
In the final meeting of
the year, DeWitt County
Commissioners Court
took a couple of bold
moves in hopes of
improving the future out-
look here.
One step involved the
road assistance dona-
tions from the oil compa-
nies drilling wells in this
county.
The other involves hir-
ing a legislative consult-
ant to help get some of
the oil and gas severance
tax back from the state.
County Judge Daryl
Fowler opened the dis-
cussion last Wednesday
reminding commission-
ers the road-use agree-
ments with BHP-Billiton
(Petrohawk) and Pioneer
Natural Resources were
expiring on Dec. 31.
These agreements have
been in effect for the past
couple of years. Each
time either of those com-
panies drills an oil well in
this county, they make an
$8,000 donation to the
county to assist with road
reconstruction.
Those donations have
total several hundred
thousand dollars to the
county but not enough to
make significant impact
on road repairs according
to commissioners.
Judge Fowler noted the
other companies drilling
here like Marathon, EOG
and Conoco-Phillips
chose not to participate
in the road-use agree-
ments.
Judge Fowler asked the
court for permission to let
those agreements expire
and not solicit donations
from BHP and Pioneer
after the new year starts.
He gave two reasons.
First, when the agree-
ments were made,
DeWitt’s tax revenue was
equally split with about

Cuero recertified a Texas Main Street city
By Glenn Rea
Editor & Publisher
Twenty-eight years ago
Cuero businesses were
celebrating the
announcement that this
city had been chosen to
participate in the Texas
Main Street Program.
This week marks a
return of that celebra-
tion. Cuero has been
recertified as a Texas
Main Street city.
Challenges for Cuero
are a little different three
decades later but the goal
remains the same: eco-
nomic development and
revitalization of down-
town.
As the Main Street offi-
cials explained in
January 1985, Cuero’s
downtown is a symbol of
civic pride or the lack of
it. If Cuero is not proud of

Coordinator Debra Farst

Cuero’s selection of being
recertified as a Main Street
city during a meeting here in
December.
