Angelina County approves funding for jail parking, tractor shelter

Angelina County commissioners approved $12,000 for concrete work to create up to eight parking spaces behind the county jail and $11,250 for a covered shelter for the jail’s tractor. Sheriff Tom Selman said the parking will free employee spaces currently used by transport vans, while the shelter will protect equipment. The projects follow a jail expansion that added 225 beds and raised capacity to more than 500.
