City Council bans sale of inhalants to minors in Del Rio
The Del Rio City Council adopted an ordinance prohibiting selling glues sprays and cements to minors to curb sniffing. Merchants face fines up to 200 dollars and must place these items out of reach, a requirement debated for enforceability and impact on lumber yards. Julie Smith of the Youth Counseling Center cited lower shoplifting risk in lumber yards. City Attorney Filemon Ortiz urged merchants to store substances in inaccessible areas.

City officials cite lack of equipment and skilled labor to supervise and utilize unskilled workers, noting transportation strains on the parks department and the program’s management issues. County commissioners previously rejected the program in March.
