SH 85 was closed between Big Wells in Dimmit County four miles out to the combined Dimmit-La Salle-Zavala-Frio County lines due to a head-on crash involving a semi-truck trailer and a pickup truck the morning of June 7.

Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber is hoping to bring together law enforcement throughout the area through a conference that aims to facilitate communication and gather intel to better fight crime.
