Stockdale Public Hearing Sparks Opposition to Halfway House
A July 18 public hearing in Stockdale drew standing room only as residents voiced concerns about a proposed halfway house on Farm to Market Road 1107 run by Connecting Today. Founder Phyliss Brown described housing up to ten parolees in a three bedroom home with security cameras but no on site guard, while opponents led by attorney William Knobles cited lack of public notice and a petition with over 400 signatures from local officials and residents.
