What happened: Midland County launched a new text messaging service to keep residents informed about road construction and closures and to make it easier to report road issues.

How it works:

  • To receive text alerts about road closures and construction updates, text MIDCOROADS to 91896.

  • To report a road issue (like potholes or flooding), text Roads to 432-218-1333.
