Officer Antoine Addresses Residents’ Questions on Crossings, Processions and Plate Covers

Beaumont Port Arthur, TX, October 16, 2026 —

A PA News column by Officer Antoine addresses residents’ questions from Beaumont-Port Arthur on three subjects: malfunctioning railroad crossings, funeral processions and clear license plate covers.

The topics concern what to do when a railroad crossing is not functioning properly, how to behave when encountering a funeral procession, and whether clear covers over license plates are legal. The summary of the column identifies those questions but does not provide the specific guidance or conclusions Officer Antoine gave in response.

It also does not specify what type of crossing malfunction residents asked about, what conduct around funeral processions was in question, or what features of clear plate covers may affect their legality. No particular incident, enforcement action or change in rules is identified.

The available information does not state when the column appeared or provide direct quotations. It also does not identify the precise location or jurisdiction relevant to the license plate question, beyond describing the questions as coming from Beaumont-Port Arthur. As a result, the summary establishes the subjects addressed, but not the detailed procedures or legal interpretation offered in the column.

Residents seeking the column’s actual answers would need to consult its full text. Without that material, no specific instructions about railroad crossings, funeral processions or plate covers can be attributed to Officer Antoine.
