The Gatesville Police Department and Coryell County Sheriff's Office said they are aware of the problem and said Texas-New Mexico Power estimates electricity to be restored around 12:30 p.m.

Gatesville PD said they do not know what the cause is and they cannot fix it.

The department said they have fielded 30 calls about the outage so far, taking up their phone lines. They said they cannot call out to TxDOT or anyone else to put stop signs in place at traffic intersections because all their lines are in use.
