Kevin Andrews
Hood County Commissioner

measure demonstrates our commitment to public welfare, fiscal responsibility, and safe communities. It’s the right plan, at the right time for Hood County.”
Greg Harrell
Chairman of the Hood County
Republican Party
“With our growth, it is now much cheaper for Hood County to improve our jail than to send inmates to other counties. We will save $40 million.”
Roger Deeds
Hood County Sheriff
“If we don’t improve the roads, it can cause delays in our response. In a lifethreatening situation, seconds count.”
Ricky Reeves
Executive Director, Texas EMS
“Transferring criminals around to other counties is way too expensive and dangerous. It is rare that we can save so much money by building a new facility.

MAKE HOOD COUNTY SAFER
Your YES vote will make our county safer it WON'T RAISE TAX RATES
Props A and B will not raise taxes. In fact, Hood County has lowered the tax rate by 40% since 2021. Though the County is a small part of your tax burden, we know you pay enough and our goal is to make your burden lighter. Props A&B will help us keep your taxes low.
Props A and B will not raise taxes. In fact, Hood County just cut the tax rates again. Though the County is a small part of your tax burden, THEY know you pay enough, and THEIR goal is to make your burden lighter. Props A and B will help keep your taxes low.
PROP A
PROP A will stop wasting the $40 million we now spend to send prisoners to other counties due to our current lack of jail space. When you vote YES, you build a jail by 2029.
BUT BE AWARE
Texas law says a ballot must say this is a “tax increase” on a bond vote. But in our case in Hood County, there is no tax increase because PROP A saves the county $42 million. YOUR VOTE FOR PROP A WILL ACTUALLY LOWER YOUR TAX BURDEN.
PROP B
The proposed projects are on top of the $127 million of improvements coming to US 377 throughout Granbury. Those improvements are anticipated to begin mid-2027.
Not improving these ADDITONAL roads would steal your time and make emergency vehicles unable to get to your location. Because the County carefully watches spending, there is NO tax rate increase. The words on your ballot, due to Texas law, say it is a tax increase. But there is NO tax rate increase in Hood County!
One of the smallest tax bills you get each year is for Hood County government. The county has lowered the tax rate by 40% since 2021, and will still be debt-free as of next February – an almost unheard-of achievement. When roads must maintained, the Commissioners do it efficiently.
Hood County, City of Granbury, and TXDOT have already funded major improvements to the US 377 to cut congestion. Your vote for Prop B will expand much-needed road improvements across Hood County.
As Hood County grows, our roads must adjust, or we will have backups at every traffic light and intersection. Your vote for Proposition B will build and repair roads to keep traffic moving. Failing to improve these roads would waste your time and could prevent emergency vehicles from reaching you. Because the county continues to carefully watch spending, there is NO tax increase. The words on your ballot, due to Texas law, say it is a tax increase because we borrowed money. However, there is no tax rate increase in Hood County.
