Nacogdoches County, Texas, has announced the addition of 4 more towers to their TxWARN system by the summer of 2025.

Nacogdoches County to have public radio system for emergency personnel by mid-summer

After the county's public radio system failed in 2017, emergency personnel have been having trouble communicating effectively across the county. Now they plan to have a new system fully functional by mid-summer.

From what I remember, Nacogdoches and SFA have been on the LCRA system for a while. I guess that is what they described as "a system owned by the city." A talk group is listed for the SO on the LCRA system. I think the spotty coverage in the county is due to only one tower in the county for LCRA? I also noticed on Nacco County page in the database it says that the county and VFDs have used TXWARN since 2023. I haven't been in that area in a few years, so I don't know how much has changed.

I haven’t been through there in years either, may be in the coming months, but I remember that TG 20000 was showing up as an affiliation back in 2023 when I was picking up the Livingston site so I don’t doubt they are active on TXWARN. If I remember correctly, the LCRA TG they used was patched with the VHF system. The article says 4 new towers surrounding the existing Nac tower will be constructed so if we do a little County Commissioners Court digging I bet we verify it’s TxWARN through the DETCOG plan.

Emailed Nacogdoches Co. Judge Sowell and he just confirmed the new towers along with the existing tower will be on the TxWARN system.
