FAIRFIELD, TX â A group of kids in Fairfield have decided to spend their Easter weekend raising money for the family of fallen DPS Trooper Chad Walker, who was killed in the line of duty near Mexia last Friday.
Parker Red (8), Haydon Reeves (8), Mallory Jones (10), and Peyton Johnson (10) have created a roadside restaurant in Fairfield to raise money that will be donated to Trooper Walker s family.
According to Leslie Meza, Parker s mom, the girls have already raised $678 since they began on Friday.
It is with great sadness the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) announces the death of a Highway Patrol Trooper following a shooting incident in Limestone County.

MEXIA, TX â As we saw in the Texas deep freeze a few weeks ago, the loss of an important service can have devastating effects, especially if you live outside one of the major cities in Central Texas.
People in Mexia learned about that loss early one morning when investigators say an arsonist torched the city library.
The sense of loss the city felt prompted them to pull together to recover, and its people learned a lot along the way.
