For Immediate Release
June 10th, 2024
On March 5, 2024, I was honored with the Republican nomination to be the next Guadalupe County Sheriff. I have no opponent in the general election and will take office as your next Sheriff on January 1, 2025. In the interim, I have made the difficult decision to leave the Sheriff’s Office to take a position in the Guadalupe County Attorney’s Office. The interplay between law enforcement and prosecution is complex, and I am now well-suited to further these relationships and expand my professional knowledge while preparing for my role as Sheriff in January. Moving forward, I will be able to fairly evaluate the Sheriff’s Office and make the determination what we will continue to do as well as what changes need to be made when I take office. In fairness to the current Sheriff and his existing staff I felt it was best to work outside the office as these assessments are made.
During my campaign, I discussed my vision for a more modernized Sheriff’s Office to better serve this community. I plan on holding a series of town hall meetings in the near future to talk with the residents of Guadalupe County on how we can improve this office and better
serve you with integrity and professionalism. I served with these values in the United States Marine Corps and as a Texas Ranger and I will never waiver from them, personally or professionally. Please look for the announcement on the schedule and dates of these events.
I will continue my pledge to serve this community over the next six months and diligently work on my plans to lead the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office with character and integrity.
