The 600 block of Texas Street from McNeil to Louisiana, will be closed beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb., 22 until Sunday, Feb. 24 for the Robbys party at Robinson Film Center. Detours will be plentiful, please follow the signs. Also beginning at 8 a.m. Friday morning, meters along the block will be bagged for no parking.
