Texas Parks and Wildlife is accepting public comment on three proposed property purchases. In each instance, the proposed transactions involve willing sellers according to the department.

▪ Caldwell County, approximately 200 acres that would increase the size of Lockhart State Park.

▪ Kinney and Edwards counties, approximately 54,000 acres (yes that's correct, three zeros) for a new state park. The acreage is outlined in yellow in the photo. Kickapoo Cavern State Park, at 6,368 acres, is outlined in red.

▪ Briscoe County, approximately 1,120 acres that would increase the size of Caprock Canyons State Park.

Commissioners are expected to vote on the measures at the Nov. 6 TPW Commission meeting in El Paso. Comment online through Nov. 5 at https://tpwd.texas.gov/business/feedback/public_comment/

🎓 FAFSA Night is Coming Up! 💻

—Attention seniors and parents—
Completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or signing an opt-out form is a graduation requirement in the state of Texas. This step is not just paperwork, it’s your student’s gateway to scholarships, grants, and college financial aid opportunities!

To make the process smoother, both students and parents should create their FSA IDs (logins) now at https://studentaid.gov.

⚠️ Important: Verification of your FSA ID can take up to 3 days, so please don’t wait until the day of the workshop!

📅 FAFSA Night Details:
📍 Gilmer Memorial Library
🗓️ Wednesday, Nov. 5th @ 5PM

✅ What to Bring:
-FSA ID usernames and passwords (for both student and parent- previously created)
-Student and parent Social Security Numbers (or Alien Registration Number, if applicable)
-Federal income tax returns (Note: You must provide consent and approval to disclose your federal tax information to be eligible for federal student aid. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool will import your income tax information now rather than bringing a physical or digital copy.)
-A list of colleges your student is considering

**Our goal is to help every senior complete their FAFSA or opt-out form before graduation requirements are due. Don’t miss this chance to get one-on-one assistance with your application!
