Evening Update 1-25-2026
While there is no forecasted precipitation for the area tonight, we remain under a severe cold warning and temperatures will drop into the teens tonight. Residents are advised to drip their faucets and keep sink cabinet doors open to help avoid frozen pipes.
There are a large number of ongoing power outages in the area, primarily in the county. Oncor and Deep East Texas Electric Cooperative are working quickly to restore power to those individuals as soon as possible. Residents experiencing power outages should check for updates online at Oncor.com or deepeast.com, or via phone at 888-313-4747 (Oncor) or 1-866-392-5986 (Deep East Texas Co-op).
With temperatures dropping this evening and street conditions remaining slick, residents are asked to avoid all unnecessary travel.
Godtel (1902 Douglass Road) remains available to receive anyone in need of shelter or a warming station throughout today.
Residents needing to report a non-emergency issue may call the non-emergency line at 936-234-5205.
Sanitation collection for residential and commercial customers will not run tomorrow due to the conditions. All trash collection will be pushed back one day from the normal collection day.
As a reminder, all city offices will be closed tomorrow due to the conditions.
