Flower Mound Fire Station number 2 at FM1171 and Shiloh Road, the site of a condemnation lawsuit against the town, which the town has appealed to the Texas Court of Appeals.
      Mockingbird Pipeline, L.P., filed a condemnation lawsuit against the Town of Flower Mound in January of this year for a thirty foot natural gas pipeline easement across Fire Station No. 2 property, located at FM1171 and Shiloh Road. The Town has vigorously resisted that effort and last Friday Denton County Probate Judge Don Windle ruled that his court has jurisdiction to hear the case.

Denton District Attorney Paul Johnson sat for an interview in The News Connection office a few weeks ago, before winning a second term in Tuesday’s Primary Election.
     “Well, it looks like we have a full head of steam as we move into the fall elections,” said 26th District Congressman Michael Burgess as he was on his way to DFW Airport for a flight back to the nation’s capital. “I’m very grateful for the support that was evident in the Primary Election vote,” added the Republican representative running for his fifth term.
