The 54,000-acre Silver Lake Ranch, straddling Kinney and Edwards counties, has a 30-acre spring-fed lake that will be the centerpiece of the new state park.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department urges boaters and paddlers who enjoy the waterways to do their part to protect Texas lakes from aquatic invasive species.
According to the NWS, a storm system moving through the state is expected to bring daily risks of severe thunderstorms through the later part of this week across large portions of the state.
