A two-month effort to get 4,400 signatures on a petition to legalize the sale of alcohol in Erath County seems now to have been a big success. Last Friday, John Hatch with Texas Petition Strategies of Austin, submitted the petition to county officials with nearly 7,000 signatures. Next up is checking each of them, but if all the signatures are validated, the measure will go before voters in November, and if it passes, will legalize the sale of alcohol and mixed drinks in Erath County and remove private club requirements. Local establishments are happy about it, saying it will level the playing field for all businesses here in Erath County. The petition also calls for an election to allow fine wine and spirit sales in package stores like Spec’s or Total Wine.

Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Stephenville has resumed labor and delivery services. Dr. James Cawley, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, has now begun to see patients at Texas Health Women’s Care in Stephenville, a Texas Health Physicians Group practice. With a normal annual volume of 400 births, Texas Health Stephenville suspended labor and delivery services in August 2019 because of retirements and departures of obstetricians on the hospital’s medical staff. The hospital conducted an aggressive recruitment program to restore services, resulting in Dr. Cawley joining the medical staff. Cawley has practiced women’s healthcare in the Mineral Wells area for more than 30 years. A native Texan, he grew up on a ranch, and received his bachelor’s degree in biology from Texas Tech University and medical degree from Texas Tech University School of Medicine. After completing his internship and residency at St. Luke’s Hospital in Cleveland, he returned to Texas to practice. He has been board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology since 1989.
