Last Chance to Speak Up on Cuero’s Future Plan

Pat Trevino | March 29, 2026

CUERO, TX-The clock is ticking, and Cuero residents are down to their final opportunity to weigh in on the City’s Draft Comprehensive Plan — a document that will shape how Cuero grows, builds, invests, and protects its quality of life for years to come.

The draft has been available since January. Many have already taken the time to read it, question it, and offer thoughtful suggestions. But MOST RESIDENTS haven’t — and now, the deadline is here.  And silence now means letting others decide what Cuero’s future looks like.
This is the moment to speak up.

A Plan That Will Shape Cuero’s Future
The Comprehensive Plan isn’t just another city document. It influences decisions about:
• Housing and neighborhoods
• Infrastructure and utilities
• Parks and recreation
• Transportation and traffic
• Economic development
• Land use and growth
• Community character and long‑term vision
If you care about how Cuero looks, feels, and functions in the next decade, this is your chance to help steer that direction.

The Deadline Is Here

The City’s survey closes April 3 at midnight.
After that, the next chance to comment won’t come until the full draft plan is released this summer — long after key decisions are shaped.

Speak Up While It Still Counts

Cuero’s future shouldn’t be shaped by a handful of voices. It should be shaped by the people who live here, raise families here, and care about what this community becomes.

If you want a say, take a few minutes and make it count.
This is your last chance — for now — to influence the direction of Cuero’s future.

Your Voice Matters — But Only If You Use It
Too often, people assume decisions are made without them. But here, the City is asking — directly — for your input. Ignoring that invitation means letting others decide Cuero’s future for you.
If you want better roads, stronger neighborhoods, more opportunities for families, or a clearer vision for growth, then take a few minutes to review the draft and complete the survey.
This is Cuero’s plan.
This is your community.
And this is your last chance — for now — to help shape it.

Cox Sets Career Hits Record as Lady Gobblers Prepare for Key District Test Tonight

Staff Writer | March 27, 2026

The 2026 Cuero Lady Gobblers softball team enters tonight’s district matchup riding a wave of momentum, strengthened by a historic milestone and a string of strong performances on the field.

On March 25, senior standout Julianna Cox officially broke the Cuero High School career hits record, surpassing the previous mark and reaching 164 career hits. Cox’s consistency at the plate has anchored the Lady Gobblers’ offense, and her record‑setting achievement adds a major highlight to the program’s 2026 campaign.

Cuero has shown steady improvement throughout the season, most recently delivering a dominant 16–1 victory over San Antonio Kennedy in district play. The win showcased the team’s balanced approach — aggressive hitting, disciplined baserunning, and dependable defensive execution.

The Lady Gobblers’ roster features a strong mix of returning talent and rising contributors, including L. Dobesh, Reagan Reitz, M. Trevino, Natalyn Milliorn, and Elizabeth Hernandez. Coaches say the group has continued to sharpen its rhythm as district competition intensifies.

Tonight, Cuero returns to action in a pivotal district matchup, looking to build on its recent success and maintain momentum in the standings. With Cox’s milestone energizing the team and the roster settling into a confident groove, the Lady Gobblers aim to deliver another strong performance.

The 2026 schedule remains packed, featuring contests against Rice, Victoria St. Joseph, and a district opener earlier this month against San Antonio Memorial. As the season progresses, Cuero remains focused on consistency, teamwork, and capitalizing on the excitement surrounding Cox’s historic achievement.

First pitch is set for 6 p.m., and fans are encouraged to show their support as the Lady Gobblers continue their push through district play.

CUERO, Texas — The Stevenson Unit is proud to welcome two new correctional officers to its ranks following their successful completion of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Pre‑Service Training Academy.
