As the year draws to a close, we say goodbye to 2020 and that chapter of our lives. Mark Hall, the Henderson County District Attorney, is closing the door to his 26-year legal career and his four years as District Attorney.Â
Hall originally graduated from Texas A&M University with a business degree and started working at General Electric where he stayed for 10 years. Although he liked his job, he decided to attend law school at 32.
âI enjoyed my job, but felt there was something more,â Hall said. âI thought of the legal field as a challenge and something I would like to do.â

With 2020 drawing to a close, The Henderson County Commissioners Court received a report, Tuesday, Dec. 7, on the first months of operation since The Humane Society of Cedar Creek began running the Henderson County Animal Shelter. I had this put on the agenda because this is a great thing that is happening in our county and goes back to what we did in 2019, said Scott Tuley, Precinct 2 Commissioner.
Lanette Ainsworth, president of the Humane Society at Cedar Creek Board, said the first eight months since Commissioners Court voted to enter a contract with the Humane Society of Cedar Creek have resulted in a sharp decrease in the percentage of animals euthanized.
