Parker County City of Reno Debates Whether It Should Exist

Organizers of petition drive say they have enough signatures to force a vote but city leaders disagree

NBCDFW, By Scott Gordon •  • 

The small Parker County city of Reno is debating whether it should exist or dissolve itself and turn over essential services to the county.  Reno, near Azle, doesn’t have a single traffic light. No gas stations, no stores, not even a post office.

The 13-square-mile country town of about 3,000 does have a City Hall and a police station.

And now, former Mayor Eric Hunter wants to do away with those.

"During my time as mayor, it became more and more evident that the city just couldn't sustain itself with just property taxes," Hunter said.

Under his plan, Reno would dissolve, the sheriff would respond to emergencies and the county would keep up the streets.
