TEXARKANA, Texas -- For Texas-side residents who want to set animal traps without having to register them with the city, it can now be done.
Texarkana City Council members approved changes in the city's Animal Care and Control ordinance Monday, which now makes it lawful for any person to set a trap without registering it with the city.
Council members also approved the rezoning of 3.5 acres of land in the 1500 block of Moores Lane, which now allows the land to be redesignated as commercial property after previously being designated as agricultural property.
Council members further approved an ordinance granting a special use permit, which will allow for the location of a single-wide Housing and Urban Development code manufactured home to be placed at 3704 Jones St., as well as granting the same type of use permit for a double-wide HUD home to be placed the 2500 block of Findley Street.
