Drivers who typically take Sheldon Road under the I-10 overpass may notice something different on their drive.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office helped clean a homeless camp in the area this week with the help of the Texas Department of Transportation.

According to a recent post on the office's Facebook page, the sheriff's office homeless outreach team offered assistance to homeless people while cleanup crews swept away trash with brooms and front loaders.

A row of dump trucks appeared to transport some of the materials away.
