In 1938, the first Galveston County Fair was held at facilities in Runge Park located in Arcadia, Texas. In the early 1980s, the County Fair had reached its limits of growth at Runge Park and plans began for a move to Jack Brooks Park located in Hitchcock, Texas. The move to Jack Brooks Park was completed in time for the 1984 Fair, and this is where the fairgrounds are located today. The GCF&R generates money to directly benefit the youth through livestock auctions & commitment sales, arts & crafts project sales, animal scrambles and college scholarships. Annually, Galveston County Fair & Rodeo holds a variety of family friendly activities throughout the 10 day fair including Livestock Shows, Rodeo events, Parade, Musical Entertainment, Bar-B-Que Cook-off, Seafood Cook-Off, Carnival, and Special Family Entertainment. The GCF&R hosts "special" days for the community. Special Kid's Day is designated for mentally and physically challenged students, Schools Day for elementary age students, and Senior Citizen's Day. There is also a variety of food and non-food products to see and buy from the many vendors who come to the fair from all over the country.

As we celebrate School Board Recognition Month, we pause to remember and honor the late Mr. Hal Biery for his steadfast dedication to the TCISD Board of Trustees since 2008. A former Board President and a true community leader, Mr. Biery’s vision and unwavering commitment shaped the educational experience for countless students in our district. A proud resident of Texas City since 1948 and a graduate of Texas City High School, Mr. Biery’s deep connection to the community guided his decisions and leadership. His service extended far beyond the boardroom as an ad hoc director for the TCISD Foundation for the Future, where he tirelessly worked to foster opportunities for our students through the teacher grant program. Though Mr. Biery passed away in September 2024, his legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched and the positive changes he championed. His impact on TCISD is immeasurable, and we remain deeply grateful for his years of service, leadership and dedication. We appreciate him for everything he did for our schools and community. His memory and contributions will forever inspire us. #SchoolBoardMonth #TogetherWeSucceed #Leadership   La Marque Fire Department is with La Marque Professional Firefighters Local 3282.

Deputy Vargas was shot and killed in the line of duty. He was a dedicated public servant, known for his integrity, compassion, and commitment to our community. He was more than a team member—he was a friend, mentor, and inspiration to everyone who knew him. His professionalism and kind nature left a lasting impact on our office and the residents he served. Our hearts go out to Deputy Vargas’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. We also stand with our Sheriff’s Office family as we grieve this loss together. We would like to thank HPD for pursuing this investigation for the suspect in this heinous act. We will release information on this page regarding memorial and remembrance services. Deputy Vargas’s service and the positive impact he made in Brazoria County will never be forgotten. He will be greatly missed.   City of Texas City Construction is now complete on a new sidewalk along 34th Street, from the Mansions at Moses Lake near the Loop, south to Cherry Avenue. Thank you to our Public Works crews for working so hard to add this important project to our community, and thank you to everyone who has given us feedback and suggestions about the projects you'd like to see. Sidewalks are one of the things we get asked about most frequently, and just like for many of you, they're a priority for us. In fact, sidewalks are so important that they are one of the three main goals in Infrastructure in our Community Matters 2030 plan. That means you'll see our crews out more and more often, repairing sidewalks or adding sidewalks throughout town. As much as we'd like for it to be, it's not a process that happens overnight. But we are working on it, and we appreciate all of the support you've given us throughout the process. We also welcome your input! If you know of a sidewalk that is in need of repair or an area where you'd like to see one added, please let us know by calling Public Works at (409) 643-5810.  |
