The following are excerpts from reports recently generated by the Texas County Sheriff’s Department:

•A deputy responded on July 10 to a report of a vehicle leaving the scene of an accident at a storage unit complex on Highway B.

Upon arrival the officer observed two badly damaged units. A bumper and license plate were found at the scene, and a computer check revealed that the vehicle was registered to a 41-year-old Houston man.

The deputy went to the man’s house and observed a Toyota sedan bearing the same registration that had major damage to its front and rear.

A probable cause statement was sent to the county prosecutor seeking charges against the man.
