“ I am still Sheriff for Chambers County, and I am in my office

five days a week, working, doing my job” said Sheriff Joe LaRive in response to accusations that he has not been in his office and no one was in charge. District Attorney Cheryl Lieck is asking for LaRive’s resig-nation, because he accepted a new job as City Marshall for the City of Baytown recently. According to Lieck no one is in charge at the Chambers County Sheriff’s department, morale is low and people are not showing up for work. She would like to seek a suit against the Sheriff for back wages and benefits.

According to County officials, LaRive has not done anything illegal, by accepting the job with Baytown and at this time they did not feel it would serve any purpose to pursue a lawsuit against him. Several elected county offi-cials also maintain busi-nesses or jobs outside of their offices.

LaRive decided to not seek re-election for his posi-tion this term, and does not plan to resign from office until the end of his term, which ends on December 31 of this year. LaRive stated that his chief deputy and chief jailer are at their posts and available during times he is away from his office. “The administration of my office is being per-formed and business is being taken care of at the Sheriff’s department” said LaRive.

Early voting has begun October 22 – November 6 for the General Election. Brian Hawthorne won the Republican Primary elec-tion for the sheriff position, and is unopposed on the General Election ballot. Hawthorne should be sworn into the sheriff position on January 1, 2013.

Grand Jury hands down 25 indictments

The following person(s) were indicted on charges by the grand jury on October 11, 2012.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt; only that grand jury believed there was sufficient evidence that the matter should be determined in a court of law. Grand jurors do not determine guilt or innocence only the probability that a crime has been committed. Person(s) are assumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.

A groom was having an anxiety attack on the eve of his wedding day. Noticing how nervous he was, his best man asked, “Have you lost the ring?”

“No,” came the reply.“Well, have you lost the

plane tickets for your honey-moon? Do you have enough money for your trip?” came the next questions.

“None of those,” said the groom. “I’ve lost my enthusi-asm for getting married!”

Many Christians are like that. They have lost their enthusiasm for their Lord. There was a time in their

lives when all of life centered around their Savior. Serving Him, praying and worshiping were the most significant parts of their lives. But some-thing has happened.

Our theology may be right. Our church attendance may be right. We may do things for others. But our Lord declares, “There is one thing wrong. You do not love Me as you once did!”

Perhaps this would be a good time to recall how much He meant to us when we first met Him.

Smartphone App available for voters from state secretary

The Office of Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade launches its first smartphone application, SmartTXVoter, to help Texans stay informed about statewide voting infor-mation like registration deadlines, early voting dates and candidates or amendments on the upcoming ballot. It also provides users the ability to remind themselves and others to vote.

“SmartTXVoter takes a big technical step forward in providing voting resources in the Lone Star State,” said Secretary Andrade. “We are making it easy for all Texans to determine if they’re registered to vote, locate polling places and have fun while learning about the voting pro-cess.”

Voters can use the app to schedule reminders for spe-cific days and times to vote; learn how to register to vote; research online voting resources; and verify polling loca-tions and hours. Weekly polls let Texans use the app to “vote” on questions such as “What Texas town has the best

Medicare open enrollmentFall seems to

be a busy time of the year – everyone’s prepar-ing the house and yard for fall and winter holidays. Another fall activi-ty includes Medicare Open Enrollment for our parents or loved ones.

Medicare Open Enrollment gives beneficiaries the chance to review health and prescrip-tion drug coverage for the upcoming year. If changes are needed, they can be made through December 7th, unless they’re happy sticking with current cover-age.

For those of us who are caregivers, or who just care about older parents and family members, we need to ensure that they have the right information to make the right choice. Explore the different options and find coverage that fits their needs.

When you review Medicare health and drug plans this year, keep track of the things you may want in the plan, and pick one that’s right for you. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when consid-ering your choice: 1) Costs – look at your current health care costs to find coverage that works with your finan-cial situation. Just like with everything else, the lowest-premium health plan option might not be your best choice. 2) Coverage – Are the services you need cov-ered? Understand what ser-vices and benefits you’re likely to use in the coming year and find coverage to meet your needs. 3) Convenience – your time is valuable. Make sure you check which healthcare pro-viders and hospitals you’ll be able to use. How close are they located? Remember that even if you’re happy with your current plan, things may change year to year.

During Open Enrollment, Medicare beneficiaries may

select Traditional Medicare or a M e d i c a r e Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO).

T r a d i t i o n a l Medicare includes Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical I n s u r a n c e ) ; Medicare provides the coverage and you get to choose

your healthcare provider, hospital and/or other pro-viders who accept Medicare. You usually pay a monthly premium for Part B, and generally, you or your sup-plement coverage pay deductibles and coinsur-ance.

Medicare Advantage Plans include Part C (which is both Part A –Hospital Insurance, and Part B – Medical Insurance). Private insurance companies pro-vide coverage and, in most plans, you are required to use healthcare providers, hospitals and other provid-ers approved by the plan – using anyone out of net-work may result in higher out of pocket costs. Some of the Medicare Advantage Plans may include; Texas Healthsprings (taking the place of Bravo), Humana Medicare, United Healthcare Medicare , Care Improvement Plus and Aetna Medicare.

Of these, Chambers Health is only contracted with Humana Medicare (PPO) and Traditional Medicare at this time. So, if you’re in the area and use Chambers Health services, now’s the time to select the plan that will work best for you. We’ll be happy to review your options and individual responsibilities with you when you visit for services, or, whenever you’d like to drop by.

At Chambers Health we want to be

“What You Need, Where You Are,” and, as

a Medicare provider, that includes helping you under-stand all the benefits you are entitled to receive.

Early Voting

Secretary of State Hope Andrade is reminding Texas voters Early Voting for the November 6 General Election begins Monday, October 22 and continues through Friday, November 2. Election Day is Tuesday, November 6.

“Early voting allows you to vote when and where it’s most convenient for you in your county of residence. It’s easy and flexible,” said Secretary Andrade. “I urge Texans to visit VoteTexas.gov to find out when, where and how they can vote. It’s a one-stop resource for questions regarding the vot-ing process in Texas.”

Voters should contact their local elections office to locate the polling place nearest or most convenient for them. Or, they can use the links at www.votetexas.gov. Polling place times will vary from county to county.

Additionally, photo iden-tification as required in Senate Bill 14 will not be required in early voting or on Election Day. To cast a ballot during early voting or on Election Day, voters should present their voter registration card or in lieu of a voter registration card, at least one of the follow-ing:

A driver’s license or per-sonal identification card issued to you by the Texas Department of Public Safety. You may also bring a similar document issued to you by an agency of another state, even if the license or card has expired;

A form of identification that contains your photo-graph and establishes your identity;

A birth certificate or other document confirming birth

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the thoughts that I

think toward you, says the Lord,

thoughts of peace , And not of evil, to

give you an expected end”

Harvest FestivalRides, food, games, dunking booth, petting zoo, ferris wheel, rock wall climbing, and even a mechanical bull can be found Wednesday (this) evening October 24th,

2012 at our annual Old River Baptist Harvest Festival.

You may be thinking, “What has this got to do with church?”

Church is more than a gathering of people. It is the

people of God reaching out to the world. It is our way of giving back to a community that has given so much

to us. It is also our way of saying, “We’re here for you.” Come, bring your family, bring a friend and enjoy

yourself.

The last recorded words of Jesus, in the book of Matthew, read, “Go ye into all the world....”

Danny R. Biddy Pastor of the Church on Old River since 1977. www.oldriverbaptist.com

This is the polished time, the pinnacle of life. This is fall, when every-thing puts on its best for the world to see, and that makes it special.

The sultry heat of sum-mer has passed, and in its place we have cool morn-ings when the tiny snap of winter’s promise briefly touches our skin. There is a magic quality of light and feel in the air, and those of us who enjoy the outdoors know it’s time to go to camp. In our genes, we know it’s time to go to camp. It’s time to be in the woods with rod and bow and gun and rediscover our-selves.

In town, it’s time for the kids to be back in school, giving their mothers time to think about themselves for a while. The antlers of the deer have now been pol-ished to a bone white at the tips and a rugged brown elsewhere. They are prime, as is their owner. It is fall. It is the polished time. The trees, as the sap shuts down in the leaves, share their

gold and reds with us and make commonplace scenes only a few weeks ago into magical tapestries of nature.

It is the time of finding a mate, of fighting for terri-tory, of defining our lives. It is fall. And we know we must polish ourselves a lit-tle bit right now in order to fit in. We have to assess ourselves and ask what we can do to make our lives a little shinier, our hopes a little stronger, our promises to others more defined, more definite.

It is the time to let the fresh cool air fill our lungs and let us remember other falls, other campfires, other friends. Younger friends, as we were younger. And as the golden leaves fall in the late autumn breezes, it will be time once again to cher-ish our mates and seek ref-uge from the winter wind.

Out to Pastor

By Rev. James L. SnyderGuest Columnist

It happened to me again this past week for the ump-teenth time. The last time it happened, I promised myself it would never hap-pen again, as long as I lived. So much for my promises, or maybe I died.

I found myself stranded at the neighborhood grocery store. I meant to put gas in my car, honest I did. Somehow, it slipped my mind.

I do not mind things slip-ping my mind if they are not important, and if it does not involve the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. Unfortunately for me, this did.

I don’t mind lectures from my Beloved, if I could sometimes pick the topic. Topics like religion and politics would be a nice change.

Her topic, which she never tires of, is my forget-fulness. At least I can’t remember any other topic at the moment.

My car was definitely out of gas and I was going nowhere in it. My only recourse was to walk across the street to the store, and call my wife to come and bail me out of trouble.

Every husband knows how difficult this is because we have to do it so often. I went to the phone booth in the store and made “the call.” Then I went and took a seat to wait for her arriv-al.

As I was waiting, I noticed an elderly gentle-man come into the store. I call him a gentleman, but these days, who knows?

This man walked into the store as if he was concerned

about being followed. Every few steps he threw a glance over his shoulder as if someone was stalking him.

Since I did not have any-thing to do for the next 20 minutes, I settled back to watch. When he got into the store, he cautiously walked around the store as if casing it.

So many stores are being robbed; I didn’t know but this man was planning to pull off a heist. My interest piqued, which kept my mind off the trouble I was in with my wife when she arrived to pick me up.

When a person is in trou-ble, it is always a good thing to try to take one’s mind off said trouble, and on someone who might be in more trouble than you are at the moment. At least, that’s what I told myself at the time.

When a person is facing trouble, he will say any-thing to himself to calm those jagged nerves.

The man walked around the store several times, always glancing over his shoulder as if he expected something to happen.

As far as I could tell, he was an ordinary man with no special features. He walked with a slow shuffle, but that’s to be expected when a man’s body ages.

I saw him stand over

against a corner for several minutes while he intently watched the front door. A little spooked by this time, I did not know if I should alert the manager or call the police.

I envisioned the headlines in the newspapers the next day: “Local pastor dies a hero’s death in the cross-fire.” I sure would like to be a hero, but only in my own mind.

This hero business can be a little dangerous, so I was in a quandary.

In scanning the gentle-man as best I could, I knew he could not have a large weapon on his person. The loose fitting shirt revealed no bomb strapped to his chest, which was a little comforting.

Then the gentleman began to move and I froze. My life flashed before me in an instant - which bored me almost to death. I never want to experience anything like that ever again.

My focus once again went to the gentleman in motion. What was he going to do? Gradually he eased up to the bakery depart-ment.

I almost stood, but at my height, I would be an easy target. It’s hard for anyone to miss a barn door, espe-cially one with a flashy smile.

I braced myself for what would happen next. Then it happened. The elderly gen-tleman, with one last glance over his shoulder, bought a chocolate éclair.

I was confused - relieved - but confused. What was all the secrecy about?

About this time, I saw him slither toward the bench where I was sitting. Without looking at me, the man sank

into the corner as though hiding from someone.

He sat there for a few minutes and then he opened his bag with the éclair. Just as he took his first bite, someone recognized him, came up and said, “Henry, is that a chocolate éclair you’re eating?”

He glanced at me and gave me one of those sick smiles that every husband recognizes. No matter how hard you try to keep some-thing (like éclairs) from your wife, it is impossible.

There is a spiritual lesson here. No matter how hard you try to hide your sin, somewhere, somehow, when you least expect it, someone will see you.

An Old Testament scrip-ture lays down an important principle in this regard. “But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.” (Numbers 32:23 KJV.)

David, the Psalmist, knew this and wrote, “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24 KJV.)

Live your life as though someone was watching you, because, Someone is watch-ing you.

Panthers defeat Warren for homecoming victory

Anahuac Panthers defeated Warren Warriors during Friday’s homecoming game, 74 -34.

Submitted by AHS Coaching staff

The Panthers defeated the Warren Warriors 74 – 34 Friday night. It was a tight game through three quarters. After leading at half 22-14, the Panthers scored 32 points in the 3rd quarter to lead 55-34 at the end of three. The panthers scored 19 points in the 4th to finish with a sound victory to celebrate Home Coming. The Panthers played well on offense and defense, but the Special Teams were outstanding on this night. Martice Henry scored on a kick-off return and Kendrick Whittington blocked a punt that put the game out of reach for the Warriors. The Panthers also scored on numerous two point plays.

Justin Artis led the ground game with 185 yards rushing on 16 carries and 3 TD’s. Josh Cooper had two rushing scores and threw for 2 TD’s as well. Wyatt Raymond led

the air attack with 2 receiving TD’s. Wesley Smith added another score on the ground. Martice Henry rounded out the scoring with 2 TD’s. It was a fantastic night to be a Panther.

“Our special teams played well tonight. Probably the best they have all season” said Coach Murr. “I thought our offensive line did a great job of playing until the whistle. We had some players step up tonight in the 2nd half and turn the game in our favor” Said Murr. The defense was led by Chris O’Bannion and Martice Henry; both had double digits in tackles. “Our defense stood the test tonight. I thought Tyree Raymond played outstanding and Whittington had his best game upfront” said Murr.

Join the Panthers on the road this week as they travel to Newton to play the #2 team in the state. Game time is 7:30 PM Friday night.

Jircik places 4th at Cross Country

meet in Pasadena

On Saturday Oct. 20th, Haley Jircik traveled to Crenshaw Park in Pasadena to compete in the Middle School 25 2A district Cross Country Meet.

The course was a one mile loop that the runners had to complete twice for a two mile finish. Jircik finished the course in 4th place with a time of 16:32. As she approached the final 100 meters she was in 5th place, but heart and determination took over as she sprinted to the finish edging out her oppo-nent.

Jircik competed in the Dayton, Anahuac, and Liberty meets this season. Haley had a great season and we look forward to her running at the high school next year. Congratulations for a great season.

ATTENTIONATTENTION

The Storm at Wallisville (1875)

GALVESTON NEWS September 1875 One of the most signifi-

cant hurricanes to strike Chambers County came ashore on the night of September 16, 1875. A ship traveling near Cape Verde spotted the storm on September 1 of that year, and seven days later it had reached Barbados, the des-tination of many such storms. By this time it had been identified as a hurri-cane. The hurricane hit Barbados the next day, causing widespread and extensive destruction. It moved rapidly on to Haiti and Jamaica in the Caribbean before the eye of the storm passed directly over Cuba directly on September 13. The blow weakened its intensity and it moved on to Florida as a tropical storm. At key West,

the storm took a sharp westward turn and headed our way, pick-ing up speed over the Gulf of Mexico.

Top speeds during this part of the storm’s journey were regis-tered at 115 miles per hour, the same speed it was traveling when it made a direct hit on the ill-fated town of Indianola. The eye of the storm passed over Indianola around mid-night on the 17th. This, of course, put our portion of the coast on the dirty side of the storm.

Boats were carried as far as nine miles inland. The storm surge was estimated at 10 to 15 feet. This caused extensive damage up and down the coast and claimed 800 lives. The storm weak-ened over land, took a northeastern turn and died out over Mississippi.

The following are Galveston newspaper excerpts from September

1875, all relating to the destruction, primarily in the Wallisville area, from the Great 1875 Hurricane.

“The sloop Adele, Captain Henry Otto, arrived yester-day, who left Wallisville, Chambers County, Sunday at 2 p.m., with Mr. W. Hartwell as a passenger, who gives us the following statement regarding the storm in that section: “The wind began blow-ing on Thursday morning, but the water in the river did not overflow the banks till late that night. People began to move their effects on Friday morning. “He gives the following losses:

“R. S. Herring’s resi-dence, outhouses, gin and stables carried off; nothing left. In his gin-house there was 20,000 pounds of cot-ton seed.

“Mr. [A. G.] Van Pradelles lost his store-house, goods and all his outhouses; his residence, though much damaged, was left. He also had over a hundred cords of wood piled on the river bank, all of which was car-ried off.

“William Cooper lost his dwelling and all his out-houses, one of which had in it eighty barrels of corn and some cotton.

“[John] Wooten had his dwelling and outhouses

badly wrecked, but not carried off. His store was left, though the goods were damaged.

“Theo. Kilgore’s dwelling and furni-ture were damaged but not carried off.

“Henry Ohring’s dwelling, out-houses, fencing and ways were all swept away.

J. White’s house was thrown from its position, and all his fencing swept off.

“Mrs. Amanda Warren’s dwelling was badly dam-aged.

“[Joseph]. LaFour’s dwelling, outhouses and hacks in his livery stable were badly damaged.

“Frank Wallis’ store badly wrecked; contents were destroyed.

“Jacob Sherman’s dwell-ing damaged; all outhouses carried off; his lint room, engine-house and all or part

of his gin-house demol-ished.

“The steamer Kate, which was there at the time, now lies 500 yards from high water, and six feet above the common tide. She belonged to Capt. Bennison, of this city. The schooner Little Laura lies near the Kate.

“Near the mouth of Old River he learned that the house of Dr. [George] Fielden was carried off and an old negro man, and his daughter Jennie and two smaller children were drowned.

An old Portuguese called Anton was seen in a boat which was said to escape before the storm struck there. He was accosted and Chambers County suffered seriously from the ravages of the storm of September 16 and 17. Besides the damage in the destruction and wreck of buildings, the loss of stock and crops is considerable.”

WE’VE GOTCHA COVERED

No Tricks just Treats at

(Family Features) Halloween is right around the corner, so it is time to carve out a spooky plan for your celebration. As lit-tle ghosts, goblins, princesses, and pirates around the country get ready for trick-or-treating, here are a few ghoulishly good ideas that will make your next Halloween fright night a scream. Spooky candy treats. Add a few spook-tacular accents to your loot for trick-or-treaters: fake rubbery spiders, jiggly eyes, glow-in-the-dark rings, and other tricks that make Halloween special. Make every-one jump for joy by giving them bags of the Wonka Haunted Mix. This assortment of Howlin’ Laffy Taffy and SweeTARTS Spooky Gummies is sweet, sour and in fun Halloween shapes. Cast a spell over your home. Welcome trick-or-treaters or partygoers young and old with decorating ideas that will make your house the best on the block. • Hang glow-in-the-dark cats, skeletons and spiders from ceilings and trees. • Write scary Halloween messages on your front walkway using colored chalk or washable fl uorescent paint. • Tie small glow sticks with string to he-lium balloons and let them fl oat over your

house like mysterious lights in the sky. • Not just the trick-or-treaters are looking for candy on Halloween, so be sure to have plenty of fun-size candy like Butterfi nger and NestlÈ Crunch around the house for easy snacking. Start booing. Start a new neighborhood trend - Halloween Booing. Booing is a new Halloween tradition, but its roots can be traced back to the 1980s. Booing is myste-riously dropping a special treat at the home of a friend. Kids of all ages will love leaving secret “Boo!” bags fi lled with goodies like fun-size boxes of cool candy like Wonka Nerds on their neighbors’ doorsteps. Then watch as eventually the whole neighbor-hood gets into the Halloween spirit. Create a bewitching Halloween bash invitation. This is a terrifi c activity for crafty kids. Guests will practically hear the screams and smell the witch’s brew when they open your homemade party invitation. Creativity is always the best way to grab your guests’ attention. Make them espe-cially memorable and sharable by attach-ing a piece of Wonka Howlin’ Laffy Taffy. Celebrate with sweets and treats. The can-dy aisle is not your only option for serving up decadent delights this holiday. Whip up this ghoulish graveyard goody for the kids

(or the kids at heart) in your house.

Security tips for online bill paymentWhen it comes to paying your monthly

bills—a chore that we all dread—you do have choices. There are three simple options. You can pay in person with cash or a check, use the tried-and-true method of mailing a check or pay your bills online using some form of electronic bill payment and presentment (EBPP). When deciding which option is best for you, it is important to understand the risks associated with each choice and the ways to reduce these risks.

While all financial transactions involve some form of risk, it is generally assumed that paying your bills in person involves the least risk. Yet most people opt out of paying bills this way due to the amount of time and effort it takes to find the payment office and drive across town during busi-ness hours. That leaves you with two options—paying either by check or online.

Online options have become more popu-lar over the past several years but many people are still wary of the security risks associated with virtual payments and choose to pay by mail. However, research has shown that there is a higher risk of identity theft for those who mail checks. Identity thieves will use your account state-ment or the bills mailed to you to collect your information. Even worse, the check you mailed can be stolen and altered. This risk can be reduced if you make sure that your mail is secure when you send or receive it. Don’t ever leave outgoing mail with checks in an unsecure location.

Paying bills online also involves risks although many of these risks are prevent-able. The convenience of this option comes with security pitfalls that many customers make. Generally speaking, there are two ways to pay your bills online. You can pay through a web bill pay function that is included on an internet banking product provided by your bank. Alternately, you can log in to a biller’s website and pay using a credit or debit card. Regardless of which option you choose, below are six practical tips that will help protect your personal information while using online technology.

• Do not use a public computerIf you are using a computer that others also have access to, they can easily install a key (logger software) that can collect your user ID, PIN numbers or credit/debit card infor-mation.

• Do not use a public Wi-Fi network

All it takes is a moderately tech-savvy criminal and a low-cost scanner, and your information can be plucked out of thin air. By the way, a hotel Wi-Fi network is not a secure network.

• Keep your browser up to dateNo matter what browser you are using, make sure you keep it updated. All brows-ers are regularly updated to address secu-rity and performance issues. If you haven’t or can’t update your browser, your security can be compromised easily. When those pesky boxes pop up telling you to update your browser, take the time to do it—especially if you are using online bill pay. Also, always look for a secure connection. You should see a secure padlock in the bot-tom right-hand corner of your browser that tells you your information is encrypted. Lastly, make sure that any page you use to pay bills online has a URL (address) with “https:’ in it as this signifies a secure con-nection.

• Use anti-virus/anti-malwareIf you are your own personal computer to access the Internet, you need to have anti-virus and anti-malware software running and current.

• Passwords, passwords, passwords!Don’t even think about using 1234 or abcd as your passwords. Take the personal responsibility to secure your information with a secure password! It is very impor-tant to change your password on a regular basis. A strong password should contain uppercase and lowercase alpha characters (but no words or names) and numeric char-acters, and be at least eight characters long. Use a special character as well if the site allows one. If you’re having problems managing your passwords, think about using password management tools like KeePass Password Safe.

• Don’t click on linksEither bookmark the website in your browser or type in the website address. Don’t click on a link provided by your bank or a biller in an email. These links can lead you to fake websites that attempt to capture your information when you log in using your ID and password. By not click-ing on that link, you are protecting yourself against a phishing expedition.

By following these six easy security tips, online bill payment is proven to be not only cost effective and convenient but also secure and highly reliable.

NOTICE OF

APPLICATION

TO IMPLEMENT

INTERIM FUEL

REFUND

Entergy Texas,

Inc. (“ETI”) hereby

publishes NOTICE

that it filed on

October 17, 2012

an application with

the Public Utility

Commission of

T e x a s

(“Commission”) to

implement an inter-

im fuel refund to

refund over-recov-

ered fuel and pur-

chased power costs

as of September

30, 2012

(“Application”).

This filing was

made pursuant to

P.U.C. SUBST. R.

25.237(a)(3)(B).

ETI’s filing impacts

only the recovery

of fuel and pur-

chased power costs

and does not affect

base rates that are

currently in effect.

All residential,

commercial and

industrial custom-

ers whose electric

service rates

include charges for

fuel pursuant to

Rate Schedule FF,

entitled “Fixed

Fuel Factor and

Loss Multipliers,”

in all territories

served by ETI, are

affected by the

Application.

The total

amount of over-

recovery balance to

be refunded

through the pro-

posed fuel refund

is approximately

$77.9 million,

including interest.

This amount repre-

sents the cumula-

tive over-recovery

of fuel balance for

over-collected fuel

expenses incurred

through September

2012. According

to the Texas

Utilities Code and

Commission rules,

ETI may not earn a

profit on fuel

expenses and may

only pass actual

fuel costs through

to its customers.

ETI’s fuel and pur-

chased power

expenses will be

subject to final

review by the

Commission in a

future ETI fuel rec-

onciliation pro-

ceeding. The effect

of the refund on

customers’ bills

will vary depend-

ing on the rate

schedule under

which they take

service. Under a

good cause excep-

tion, ETI proposes

that all affected

customers be pro-

vided a refund over

a period of six

months. For a resi-

dential customer

using 1,000 kWh a

month, the pro-

posed interim

refund will result

in an $11.32 reduc-

tion in the custom-

er’s bill, or a net

decrease of approx-

imately 10.00 per-

cent as compared

to current charges.

ETI requests that

the proposed refund

to be effective with

the first billing

cycle for the first

billing month after

the Commission

issues a final order

in this proceeding,

but no later than

the first billing

cycle for the billing

month of January

2013.

Persons with

questions or who

want more infor-

mation on the pro-

posed interim fuel

refund may contact
