The First National Bank of Sterling City recently celebrated its first 100 years of service to Sterling County with a come-and-go barbecue luncheon at the main bank location in Sterling City. Sterling City is named for a distinguished frontiersman named Captain W. S. Sterling who lived in the area near the North Concho River during the 1860s. In 1891, Sterling City was established with land donated by R. C. Stewart, and a petition to the Texas Legislature created Sterling County from land that was originally part of Tom Green County. Today, the First National Bank is the only bank chartered in the county, and Sterling City remains the hub of economic activity.

Texas veterinarian Wendi Mae Davidson ended almost two years of uncertainty for a Maine family when she pleaded no contest Monday to charges she murdered her husband, Lee native Michael Leslie Severance, in January 2005.

Game-law violators do the darnedest things - and clever game wardens do the darnedest things to catch them.
One of the funniest examples comes from Tom Green County, Texas, where in early October of this year a warden caught some dove hunters breaking the law.

This month the Texas Civil Rights Project, an advocate for racial, social, and economic equality, celebrates its 15th anniversary. As TCRP notes on its Web site, over the years its lawyers and legal workers in Austin and in the Valley "have sued over every kind of misconduct in every part of Texas." In addition to "traditional" civil rights and civil liberties work--free speech, voting rights, police brutality--the TCRP has made innovative use of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination against students and employees of educational institutions. Among the many clients that TCRP has represented are employees of the Brownsville diocese who were fired after signing a union contract; blind voters in El Paso who sought new mech...

The Texas polygamy raid and prosecution is full of ironies.
It's ironic that the 416 confiscated children were sent to a county named Tom Green, even if it is no relation to the convicted Utah bigamist of the same name.
