Burn ban: Parker County remains on the Texas A&M Forest Service list, now 153 counties on a list restamped 10/12/2026 11:34:42 AM, one fewer than the 154 on the list stamped 10/8/2026 that the Ledger read for four editions

The Forest Service feed fetched Oct. 13 at 10:46 UTC carries the stamp 10/12/2026 11:34:42 AM. Of Parker County's neighbors, Tarrant, Palo Pinto, Wise, Jack, Erath and Somervell are on the list and Hood, Denton and Johnson are not, the same nine as Oct. 9 through Oct. 12. The Ledger's day-by-day record on the burn-ban page shows Parker County on the list at each of its 22 reads since Sept. 17; the count has fallen at every read since Oct. 1 that showed a change, from 215 on Oct. 1 to 153 today, the Ledger's reading of its own record.

Where it stands: 90,400 acres in Palo Pinto County, 83% contained as of InciWeb's Sept. 12 update; cause listed as equipment use, under investigation. Parker County remains under a burn ban, one of 216 counties on the Forest Service list stamped 9/26/2026 8:23:40 AM.

The watched record, Tuesday morning: no new agenda, packet or minutes on CivicClerk since the Oct. 15 council packet; the city's news list's newest entry is still dated Aug 20, 2026; the county's news flash feed and the Ledger's live feed carried no items; no new Coaches Show episode since the one dated Wed, 7 Oct 2026 on the podcast feed; no new sales-tax permits in the footprint since 10/9/2026

The city's news list carries five entries, the newest dated Aug 20, 2026. The Parker County news flash RSS, built Tue, 13 Oct 2026 05:47:47 -0600, carried no items, and the Ledger's live feed carried none. The Aledo Bearcats Coaches Show podcast feed's newest episode is Aledo Coaches Show Podcast - Episode 5, Season 5, dated Wed, 7 Oct 2026 01:49:36 +0000, so there is no episode from Monday night to report. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registrations showed 0 new projects since the last run, 81 projects in the three cities since 2025. The Comptroller's active sales-tax permit list, read Oct. 13, shows 163 permits in the footprint since 2026-04-16, the newest issued 2026-10-09, all of them reported in earlier editions. MaxPreps, read Oct. 13, lists Aledo football at 3-3 after W 45-7 vs. Arlington Bowie on Oct. 9, with the next game at Arlington on Oct. 16. The district's news page was fetched, but its list of articles did not render in the page the Ledger read, so nothing from it is reported today; the Aledo Athletics RSS feed did not parse, and the schedule pages were read instead.
