WEATHERFORD â Parker County Judge Pat Deen says COVID-19 numbers will need to get âdramatically higherâ before any more mandates are considered.
âThe government has done what they can in educating people and making the vaccine readily available,â Deen said. âYou could walk in and get the shot immediately at the [Parker County] Hospital District or many other places.
âIf youâre vaccinated, thatâs the key to this â not pushing more government on people.â
Asked what that threshold might be, Deen said that was a topic he planned to discuss with city and county leaders and health authorities on a conference call scheduled for Friday morning.

Parker County commissioners will meet Friday to discuss the next steps in filling the position of sheriff.
The meeting comes four days after the item was placed, then removed, from the commissioners regular agenda Monday. I placed the item on the agenda so that we could begin discussions of the process to follow to appoint someone as county sheriff, Precinct 3 Commissioner Larry Walden told the
Weatherford Democrat.
However, Parker County Judge Pat Deen said he was unaware that a commissioner had made the request because it was made verbally and did not get documented. Deen said he put the item on the agenda himself, but decided to pull it because another personnel issue was already on the agenda and he didn t want to combine the two.
