About Hill County Current

Hill County Current is a free, independent front page for Hill County, Texas. It puts the day's local headlines, live weather alerts, road and lake conditions, events, public meetings, schools, jobs and the county's most useful links in one place, plus a weekly email.

What we do and don't do

• We point you to the source. Headlines link to the outlet or agency that published them. We show a headline, the source and the date, not the story itself.
• When we write a short summary, it is original wording, it links to the source, and it carries a label if AI helped write it.
• We do not republish paywalled articles, photos or obituaries.

How AI-assisted summaries work

Some summaries on this site are drafted with help from an AI system, then checked against the linked source before they appear. Those items carry this label: AI-assisted.

1. Small scripts check local feeds and official pages a few times a day and flag what is new.
2. Only new items get a summary. Each summary must use facts that appear in the linked source: names, dates, dollar figures and places.
3. Every summary links to its source so you can read the original.
4. Mistakes are fixed openly. See our corrections policy.

Weather alerts and forecasts come directly from the National Weather Service and are not rewritten.

Independence

Sponsors help pay for the site. They never decide what we cover, and anything paid for is labeled Sponsor. See ethics & sourcing.
