SAN ANGELO, Texas — At Tom Green County Commissioners’ Court on Tuesday, Oct. 1, Colton Connor brought his case to the commissioners. As FOX West Texas reported in early September, Connor was separated from his children during September’s heavy rain and floodin, which closed off access to his home via Mineral Wells Crossing. And while residents of the area would normally use nearby Kenley Lane, a new owner has closed off access to that road as well. Connor and residents have petitioned for eminent domain, which would force the landowner to sell property to the county for open access, but Precinct 4’s commissioner says he doesn’t think that would be the best course of action.
No action was taken at Commissioners’ Court on Oct. 1.
