🚨Texas will conduct a statewide test of emergency alert systems on April 2 between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

📱You may receive a test alert on your phone and/or hear outdoor warning sirens depending on where you are at the time of the test. Midlothian will activate MidlothianSafe Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) its mass notification system to cellphones during this time.
