NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST On October 19, 2020, Entergy Texas, Inc. (“ETI”) filed an application to amend its

Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (“TCRF”) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“Commission” or “PUC”). The application was assigned PUC Docket No. 51406. The proposed TCRF is requested in accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Act § 36.209 and 16 TAC § 25.239. A TCRF allows a utility to recover its reasonable and necessary costs that have occurred since the end of the test year in the utility’s last base rate case for transmission infrastructure improvement and changes in wholesale transmission charges to the electric utility under a tariff approved by a federal regulatory authority. In its requested amendment, ETI is seeking recovery of costs for transmission capital investments it incurred from July 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020. ETI also seeks to recover approved transmission charges that are not otherwise being recovered through rates. The proposed TCRF as amended would result in total TCRF retail revenues of approximately $51.0 million, which is $31.6 million in incremental annual TCRF revenue beyond ETI’s currently effective TCRF. This $31.6 million amount would be a 3.3% increase in ETI’s annualized non-fuel revenue requirement as compared to revenues approved in Docket No. 48371, ETI’s most recent base rate case, and a 2.1% increase in ETI’s overall annualized revenue requirement including fuel costs as compared to such revenues as approved in Docket No. 48371. The impact of the rate change on various customer classes will vary from the overall impact described in this notice. ETI has requested that an intervention deadline and hearing request deadline of November 30, 2020 be established, and that, if no hearing is requested, the Commission adopt an order approving the proposed TCRF at or before its currently-scheduled open meeting on January 14, 2021. All customers in ETI’s Texas retail rate classes are affected by this request. Persons with questions or who want more information on this filing may contact ETI at Entergy Texas, Inc., Attn: Customer Service—2020 TCRF Case, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, or call 1-866-981-2602 during normal business hours.

Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon this proceeding should notify the Public Utility Commission of Texas as soon as possible, as an intervention deadline will be imposed.

My name is Jason Pringle and I would like to take this time to let you know a little more about myself. I was born and raised in Limestone County growing up in Kosse, my roots run deep. Not only did I grow up in this area, I have, in my adult years, helped the area youth grow and

build. In the past, I was a member of the board for Groesbeck Little Dribblers. For the past 12 years, I have been a fixture on the baseball and softball fields for our youth. Serving on each board when they were separate entities and being a part of unifying the separate baseball and softball boards into the Groesbeck Youth Baseball Softball Association. I have served as the President and Vice

President of these boards. For 13 years I feel I have been a positive influence on the children that I have coached on either the baseball or softball fields, in peewee football, and even the basketball court.

I have chosen to stay here in Groesbeck and raise my family of 4 because I feel the Limestone area and Groesbeck School district has the ability to offer my children the skills they will need to succeed in this world wherever they chose to be. I am a graduate of Groesbeck High School class of 1996 as is my wife, Crala. Madi, our oldest, graduated from Groesbeck High School in 2019. While attending Groesbeck schools she took advantage of the many programs, both academic and athletic,

that Groesbeck had to offer. Memphis, who is currently a junior, has also been able to participate in both the academic, ag, and athletic opportunities our district offers. Our 7th grader, Landrie, is halfway through her school career and is beginning to see her potential as a Groesbeck ISD student. Koda, our 3rd grader, has just begun to touch on the advantages he has as a student within Groesbeck ISD. With all 4 of my children, I am able to see the different aspects of our district. I have seen strengths in both our academic and athletic programs, but I have also seen things that are ready for change and growth.

Just like my 4 children, each student within our district is different. It is

our responsibility to ensure that each student is receiving the instructional support that they need, but also to be challenged academically. It is imperative that our athletic programs train not just athletes but also young men and women who are ready to be teammates and partners outside

of their sport. Our vocational and Ag programs are preparing students for futures in rapidly advancing fields. Our fine arts programs are giving our students skills they will use for many years to come. We must move each and every program within our district, starting from

the H.O. Whitehurst Elementary to the High School, in an upward and positive direction. I look forward to being a part of this progress as a member of the Groesbeck School Board.

Spooktacular Halloween TipsBBB Column

Dealing with COVID-19 in 2020 has been more trick than treat. The pandemic has forced us to adjust our everyday lives, cancel plans and wonder how to observe upcoming holidays safely. With Halloween approaching, and local governments encouraging social distancing over social gatherings, many are looking for creative new ways to enjoy fall festivities.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is sharing both low-risk ways to celebrate and high-risk activities to avoid. Decorating your home, carving pumpkins and virtual costume contests are deemed spooktacular, but frightful activities include visiting haunted houses, trick-or-treating and traveling to fall festivals in other towns.

Data from a recent National Retail Federation (NRF) survey shows consumers will be partaking in more individual activities, such as pumpkin carving and dressing up their pets, and fewer group events like costume parties. Although the survey results expect a rise in personal spending, there are plenty of ways to celebrate while keeping your wallet happy.

Sink your fangs into these scary-good Halloween savings tips from your Better Business Bureau::

• Set a budget. The NRF estimates individuals will spend more than $90 on Halloween this year, but you may decide that’s too much… or maybe not enough! Determining your budget ahead of time can help you stay on track while you shop.

• Search for savings. Since your favorite costumes and decorations can likely be found at more than one place, take time to comparison shop and see which retailer has the best prices. Signing up for email distribution lists from your favorite stores can offer additional savings by sending you coupons and advertisements for upcoming sales.

• Shop at home. Check your closets for more than just monsters! Using costumes and decorations from previous years can save money. Creating costumes with household items is another way to save money and have fun.

• Be smart online. Online shopping is the safest way to buy costumes, decorations and candy this year. Before you buy, review retailers’ return policies and ensure websites are secure by looking for the lock icon next to the URL. Always pay with a credit card in case you need to dispute a charge.
