We also welcomed two new elected members of Council, Mrs. Brenda Turner and Mr. Mike Hamilton. Additionally, we swore in Steve Fortenberry as the Mayor after he was re-elected. Thank you Council Member Stephens for your commitment and wisdom. Welcome to our new members and congratulations! We look forward to serving alongside of you in service of our community.

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Hewitt Police Department is aware of fraudulent text messages claiming to be from a “Texas District Court” regarding overdue traffic tickets and court summons.

⚠️ These messages are scams.
They often:
• Threaten arrest warrants or license suspension
• Demand immediate action or payment
• Include suspicious links
• Ask you to reply to the message

Please remember:
✅ Legitimate courts and law enforcement agencies do NOT send threatening text messages demanding payment or personal information.
✅ Do NOT click any links or provide personal/financial information.
✅ Do NOT reply to the message.
✅ Delete the message and report it as spam.

If you are unsure whether you have a legitimate citation or warrant, contact the court directly using official phone numbers or websites - never the information provided in the text message.

Help protect others by sharing this post and warning friends and family. Stay vigilant and think before you click! 🔍📱
