Texas Authorities Tour FLDS Communities

Texas authorities are visiting Colorado City, Arizona to get a better understanding of their newest residents.

The polygamist church recently bought a 16-hundred acre spread in Schleicher County, Texas where they're building a compound.

An attorney for the Fundamental Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints says he believes the site will be a refuge for church leadership.

Schleicher County Sheriff David Doran and his chief deputy took a tour of Colorado City and neighboring Hildale, Utah yesterday with Colorado City Marshal Sam Roundy. The pair admit they have a learning curve when it comes to understanding the residents' plural lifestyle.

Today they'll meet again with Roundy along with the Mohave County, Arizona sheriff and other local authorities.
