The Palacios Police Department would like to take a moment this Memorial Day to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

Today, we pause to reflect on their courage, dedication, and selflessness. Their sacrifice has secured the freedoms we enjoy each day and will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends, let us remember those who gave everything for our country and keep their families and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.

From all of us at the Palacios Police Department, we extend our deepest gratitude to our fallen heroes. May their service and sacrifice forever be remembered.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Matagorda County Office of Emergency Management
Date: May 21, 2026
What you need to know: Matagorda County Urges Residents and Visitors to Prepare for Heavy Rainfall, Flash Flooding, and Dangerous Rip Currents Through Memorial Day Weekend

The Matagorda County Office of Emergency Management is advising residents, beachgoers, and visitors to remain alert as persistent heavy rainfall, flash flooding risks, and dangerous rip currents are expected to impact the Matagorda County coastline throughout the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
A Flood Watch remains in effect for coastal portions of the county as repeated rounds of thunderstorms continue to move across the region. Some areas along the coast have already received between 6 and 9 inches of rainfall, saturating soils and increasing the risk for street flooding and rapid water accumulation in low-lying areas.
In addition to inland flooding concerns, the National Weather Service has issued a High Rip Current Risk for Gulf-facing beaches. Rough surf and strong offshore currents are expected to create dangerous swimming and boating conditions through the weekend.
Holiday Weekend Weather Outlook
Storm chances are expected to remain elevated each day, ranging from 60% to 80%, with daytime temperatures in the mid-80s and high humidity producing much warmer “feels-like” conditions.

On the evening of May 5, 2026, five young men were out riding around the City of Palacios when they noticed an individual lying on the ground unresponsive. These five brave young men immediately searched the area and located an officer to report the incident.

Upon the officer’s arrival, the young men chose to remain on scene and stayed with the officer until the situation was fully cleared. Their quick thinking, courage, and willingness to help did not go unnoticed.

We would like to give a huge shoutout to these outstanding young men:
Matthew Nguyen
Aaron Lara
Cain Gomez
London Longoria
Roberto Sanchez

Thank you all for stepping up and doing the right thing for your community. Your actions are greatly appreciated, and Palacios is proud of each of you.
