6. other matters that come to the attention of the presiding officer as requiring limitation.
B. Written Comments:
1. Written comments on the proposed revisions to the Rules must be filed with the District by mail at PO Box 868, Seymour, Texas 76380 or by hand delivery at the District’s office at 110 W California Street, Seymour, Texas 76380.

If directed at specific items in the proposed Rules, the number of the proposed item must be identified and followed by the comments on the specifically identified item of the proposed Rules.
C. Response to Comments:
Please note that while the District Board and staff will consider both oral and written comments, the staff may not prepare written responses to these comments for review and consideration by the Board of Directors of the District when it deliberates on whether to adopt the proposed revisions to the District’s Rules.
Procedure for Obtaining the Proposed Rules.
Copies of the proposed Rules may be obtained from the District by:
1. telephoning (940) 422-1095
