Mark Your Calendar: Overnight I-10 Closure Planned Next Friday at Garth Road
Go ahead and mark your calendar now 📆— or at least don’t let next Friday night surprise you while you’re halfway down I-10 wondering why traffic suddenly isn’t moving.
Drivers are being advised of an overnight closure along Interstate 10 at Garth Road on Friday, May 22nd, as CenterPoint Energy and TxDOT perform electrical grid improvement work.
According to officials, all eastbound and westbound main lanes and feeder roads at Garth Road will temporarily close from 11 p.m. Friday, May 22nd, until 4 a.m. Saturday, May 23rd. Crews will be removing overhead power lines and connecting a new underground electrical circuit designed to improve long-term reliability and help support future growth in the area.
Motorists should expect delays, consider alternate routes, and follow posted traffic signs and directions from crews on site.

New TEA Data Highlights
Superintendent Salaries Across Texas
Recently released salary data from the Texas Education Agency shows Barbers Hill ISD Superintendent Greg Poole ranked among the highest-paid public school superintendents in Texas for the 2025–26 school year.
The statewide data, which is publicly available through TEA records, places Barbers Hill ISD near the top of superintendent salary rankings alongside several other large and fast-growing Texas school districts. Superintendent compensation often reflects factors such as district size, enrollment growth, budgets, academic performance, and administrative responsibilities.

Eastern Rim Con Celebrates Reading,
Creativity & Community This Weekend
The Eastern Rim Funny Book & Vintage Con returns to Baytown this weekend with two days of free, family-friendly fun celebrating comics, creativity, collectibles, and pop culture.
The volunteer-based event will take place Saturday, May 16, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, May 17, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Baytown Community Center, 2407 Market St. Admission and parking are both free.
Visitors can enjoy comics, cosplay, toys, vintage treasures, records, original artwork, panel sessions, guest appearances, autograph opportunities, and vendors from across the region offering hard-to-find collectibles and unique items. Organizers say the event is designed to be welcoming and affordable for families while encouraging creativity and a love of reading.
Beyond the fun, proceeds from the event help support community programs through the Promise Center, including after-school tutoring, summer camps, language classes, and other outreach efforts.
Guests are encouraged to bring comfortable shoes, a tote bag for treasures and comics, and plenty of curiosity for a weekend filled with pop culture and community spirit.
