Greetings to all my fellow members of CJCAT! I'd like to take this time to thank all of you for allowing me the privilege to serve as your president. I am look forward to working for all of you county judges and commissioners in the upcoming year. 

With the 85th Legislature behind us, counties faced some pretty tough challenges. However, it seems we were not hurt as we thought might be the case. I urge each and everyone of you in county government to build relationships with your local legislators so that we might be able to gain their support in the next session.

On another note, so many of our friends faced some pretty tough challenges this year with natural disasters and unfortunately man made tragedies. We in Texas come together and always pull through these tough times! Continue to keep everyone in areas affected in your thoughts and prayers. Continue to offer those helping hands and hearts. Continue to be Texans, because together we make this state the biggest and best in the nation!!   

Once again, a big thank you to all of you for the opportunity to serve you. I am looking forward to seeing many of you at your regional conferences and other events throughout the year. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance to you.

God bless and see y'all soon!
