WEATHERFORD — A group of Parker and Palo Pinto County residents are planning their second trip to Austin in less than a month, this time to protest a Royalco Oil and Gas Corp. disposal well.

The first hearing, against Bridgeport Tank Trucks L.L.C., was settled when lawyers from both sides agreed on various compromises.

The particulars of the settlement have not yet been revealed, but protester Randall Grard said Bridgeport was very accommodating to the protester’s wishes.

He did not expect the same success with Royalco.

The hearing will be held before the Railroad Commission of Texas Thursday.

Registration information for citizens who wish to speak at the hearing is available on the commission’s Web site, www.rrc.state.tx.us, or by calling (512) 463-6792.

Sheriff, judge at odds over mailer
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler sent out a statement and automatic phone calls across the county Wednesday saying he did not endorse incumbent 43rd District Judge candidate Trey Loftin, following a mailer sent by the judge’s campaign that included a quote from Fowler.
However, Loftin said Thursday Fowler made the referenced statement to a room full of people at a fundraiser for Loftin and agreed to let Loftin’s campaign quote the sheriff.
