Here are three things residents of Conroe and Montgomery should know before going into this week, March 27-31.

1. Montgomery County judge and commissioners go to trial March 27.
In June, Montgomery County Judge Craig Doyal, Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley, Precinct 4 Commissioner Jim Clark and political consultant Marc Davenport were accused of violating the Texas Open Meetings Act during negotiations for the November 2015 road bond election with the Texas Patriots Political Action Committee.

The first hearing for the case was held Sept. 2, where legal counsels set a schedule for the trial. The trial was originally scheduled for November but was rescheduled and is now set for March 27. Judge Randy Clapp, of Wharton County’s 329th District Court, is presiding over the case.

A TOMA violation is considered a Class B misdemeanor, which is punishable by one to six months in jail, a fine of up to $500; or both, according to the official of the attorney general’s website. The officials could also be removed from office.
