Hays County flags to fly at half-staff all this week

Governor Greg Abbott has issued a letter authorizing the lowering of flags in Hays County to half-staff to honor Mountain City Mayor Phillip Taylor, who succumbed to injuries received in a car accident Thursday night.

“In our grief, we have received the support of our Governor, who has issued a letter authorizing me to ask our county to lower flags to half-staff to honor and respect Mayor Philip Taylor of Mountain City,” County Judge Ruben Becerra said. “Governor Abbott and the First Lady join Mrs. Becerra and me in sending our most heartfelt condolences to the Taylor family.”

A Memorial Service will be held Friday, April 5, at 10 a.m. at Hays CISD Performing Arts Center, 979 Kohlers Crossing, Kyle.

Flags should return to full-staff on Saturday, April 6.
