Don't Trash Texas

Today I am announcing that the Navarro County Sheriff's Office will be actively and diligently looking for individuals who are littering and dumping trash throughout our county.

Deputies will be issuing citations and filing criminal cases for violations. Some examples of these violations include:

•Throwing trash out the windows of your vehicle

•Driving down the road with loose trash blowing out of the back of your truck

•Hauling trash that has not been properly secured to prevent it from getting loose will be considered littering and of course,

•Trash dumping

We should all do our part to keep our county clean. We are having far too many complaints and issues to ignore this growing problem.

If you see trash dumping occur, please notify the NCSO at 903-654-3001 so an investigation can be conducted.
