He is a well-respected Sheriff especially when compared against his predecessor, Sheriff Maspero. He was a fantastic head to DPS and while I was sad to see him retire from the state, I was thrilled to see him re-emerge in Williamson County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-30634085310110470772008-11-30T09:49:00.000-06:002008-11-30T09:49:00.000-06:00Correction...www.popular4people.orgCorrection...<BR/><BR/>www.popular4people.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-23831294250023385142008-11-30T09:47:00.000-06:002008-11-30T09:47:00.000-06:00Good for them.

Anecdotal evidence suggests minorities and poor Caucasians are prime targets. Reportedly every component of Taylor County's legal system contributes to the problem (i.e. the police and sheriff departments, state and federal prosecutors, state and federal courts, public defenders, and private attorneys). Woeful tales of injustice shared by some current and former Taylor County, Texas residents, have a common theme. Many attest to retaining or being appointed an attorney who promises, but ultimately fails to zealously challenge for them the apparent wrongs of area government and/or big business.
