Location and Alternate Route Access<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FM 1127 east of US Hwy 59 is currently closed to the public. An alternate route has been established for access across a landowner\u2019s private property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We expect FM 1127 to reopen Sunday evening once repair activities are complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this time, the alternate route is scheduled to remain open 24 hours a day with lighting and security personnel until FM 1127 is reopened subject to the following public safety restrictions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Small passenger vehicles only. Large vehicles will not be allowed to enter the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traffic is restricted to residents only. If you do not have an immediate need to be in the area, please avoid the area to prioritize local resident traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this time, we do not anticipate the forecasted rain to impact repair work. Residents should follow direction of local law enforcement and signage as it relates to the alternate route and any changes in access. Decisions about alternate road closures will be made with public safety as the priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residents who live in the neighborhoods down FM 1127 are encouraged to email RESNotices@oneok.com for displacement reimbursement. Examples of displacement expenses include lodging, food, fuel and other necessities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We continue to prioritize safety as we respond to this incident and appreciate the patience of the community as we work to restore access. We also wish to offer special thanks to the private landowner who has permitted public access across her property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For resident questions or public road access updates, please call 918-500-4244.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAN JACINTO COUNTY, TEXAS \u2014 Updated information from ONEOK and county officials confirms that FM 1127 will remain closed through the weekend as crews continue responding to a significant pipeline release outside Shepherd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a ONEOK spokesperson, the June 12 incident involved \u201ca release on our pipeline outside of Shepherd, Texas, believed to be related to third\u2011party excavation activity.\u201d Company personnel quickly isolated the affected segment and are working to safely remove product from the line. Controlled flares remain active near Wright Boulevard as part of the standard mitigation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FM 1127 is fully closed and is expected to remain shut down through the weekend. ONEOK and local officials have established an alternate access route that will remain open 24 hours a day with lighting and security personnel. The route crosses private property and includes a bridge that cannot support large vehicles, limiting access to smaller passenger traffic only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residents who need help navigating the area may request route assistance by contacting the San Jacinto County Office of Emergency Management (SJCOEM) directly on Facebook. Because the detour is on private land, officials will not release the route publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A temporary shelter was opened Friday evening by SJCOEM and the American Red Cross at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shepherd Community Center
10251 TX\u2011150, Shepherd, TX 77371<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shelter will remain available until all displaced residents have been relocated. Officials say arrangements are in place to ensure everyone affected has a safe place to stay during the ongoing response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contact with Oneok can be made at: RESnotices@oneok.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fire and EMS units remain stationed on both sides of the incident to maintain rapid response capability. Air quality monitoring continues, and officials emphasize that no evacuation orders have been issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ONEOK expressed appreciation for the cooperation of local responders and the community, stating:
\u201cWe appreciate the quick response of emergency personnel and the patience of the community as we work to restore access. Safety is our top priority, and we are committed to protecting our employees, our communities, our assets and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
