The Erath County Sheriffs Office and TXDOT would like everyone to know that County Road 351 is CLOSED at Bell Bridge near County Road 497.
We have received information that people are moving and attempting to drive around the TXDOT barricades. THIS IS A VIOLATION of Texas Transportation Code 472.021, Tampering With Warning Devices, and is a Class B Misdemeanor. That’s not “just a ticket” folks. That’s jail time.
There is a clearly marked detour off of US377 South on County road 374. Please use it.

The Erath County Sheriffs Office has been made aware of another SCAM.
This one involves a person calling people who have recently bonded out of jail, and demanding additional funds that must be acquired by purchasing gift cards, and sent to the scammer.
If you or someone you know has recently bonded out of jail and receives a call like this, IT IS A SCAM. Don’t fall for it. Hang up on them.

The Erath County Sheriffs Office has been made aware, once again, that someone posing as a Sergeant from our office is contacting people stating that they have a warrant for their arrest because they have missed Federal jury duty and that they must pay a fine or face arrest.

THIS IS A SCAM.

We will NEVER call you to discuss a warrant or ask for money.
