    Customers crowd the pumps at Allsups Thursday morning.

Reports of gas shortages in the North Texas area sent Jacksboro residents scrambling to fill up their tanks Thursday morning.

As of 11:30 a.m. customers were still filling up at all of the gas stations in Jacksboro. Short lines were forming at some, but waits were not long.

Cowboy’s in Bryson Manager Rose Coldwell said she did not foresee that her store would run out of gas but gas sales have been busy for the morning.

Prices are up slightly to between $2.22 and $2.29 per gallon.

Pirate’s Cove in Perrin had signs on two of its pumps by late morning.

Price increases across the country were anticipated as a result of the shutdown of coastal refineries due to Hurricane Harvey.
