Speculation to follow.
Officials warn that Nacogdoches and Shelby counties could experience aftershocks following Thursday morning’s earthquake that registered a 3.7 magnitude by the United States Geological Survey.
“These aftershocks are usually less violent than the main earthquake, but can be strong enough to do damage,” said a press release from the Nacogdoches Unified Emergency Operations Center. “Aftershocks can occur hours, days, weeks, or even months (later).”

And "fracking" was mentioned on KSLA TV as one of the possible culprits for the cause.

The location and depth, as mapped (which can change radically) is fairly close to an injection well. No fracing in the immeidate vicinity however.

There hasn't even been a well drilled up there in over a year, has there? West of Timpson, I mean.

I don't show any recent activity, but I haven't dug into that. Injection has been in operation about 5 years. At this point, I'm just guessing. Tehre was an Earthquake in Mt Enterprise in the 1940's or 1950's. All in all, this one probably just upset some chickens.

The Texas State Historical Association cites a 80-kilometer segment of the Mount Enterprise fault system which caused earthquakes in 1891 and 1981, in Rusk and Center and Jacksonville, respectively.
Another series of moderate earthquakes hit Sabine County on April 23, 1964. According to the USGS, Hemphill was near the epicenter of the 4.4 magnitude earthquake. Aftershocks were reported in Pineland, Hemphill, and Milam. Cracked wallpaper and plaster were the only damage reported. More tremors, reaching 4.2 in magnitude, were reported in May, June, and August of that year.
In 1957, several shocks were reported at 4.7 in magnitude in the Gladewater area in Northeast Texas.

I recall the 1964 quakes. I was 13 and I recall the news about it.

I don't believe it was 1964 that fracking was being used. Go to any website about George Mitchell (inventor of fracking) and you can find out more about fracking since it was first used in the Barnett shale near Ft. Worth, Texas. I think it was sometime after 1977.
