🙏 Our community has been shaken by the terrible news of the recent shooting that took place at the Kickapoo Casino parking lot. As your County Judge, it pains me deeply to see these horrific acts of violence occurring in our home.

Preliminary reports to our office from our Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber indicate that approximately seven individuals have been wounded and of those, one life has been tragically lost. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and all who have been affected. We are ensuring that those involved are receiving the necessary care and attention.

Please know that all local, state and tribal law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly, not only to secure the tribal area but to protect our county as a whole. The individual responsible for this act in question is currently being tracked, and we remain committed to supporting the victims and restoring peace in our community.

When is enough, enough? We must come together and put an end to the senseless gun violence that continues to plague our country and society. Maverick County deserves safety, peace, and unity—and we will keep fighting for it.

Today, I had the opportunity to represent and speak on behalf of the citizens of Sabinal regarding the proposed large transmission line—the Howard Solstice Project—through the Hill Country. I met with representatives from AEP, CPS, and Power Engineers to ensure our community’s concerns were heard.

I emphasized the potentially harmful impacts this project could have on tourism, hunting, and agriculture—industries that are not only vital to our economy, but also deeply valued by the people of Sabinal and all of Uvalde County. These industries are at the heart of our way of life, and our livelihoods depend on them.

The representatives pointed out the potential short-term boost to our local economy, as project workers would need food, lodging, and fuel, along with the long-term benefit the project could provide to the statewide electrical grid.

It should be noted that one of the proposed routes places the transmission line approximately one mile north of Sabinal.

Let it be known that I personally, am not a fan nor sold on the project but I represent nearly 2,000 people so I try to get the most information possible & share in an unbiased way.

Today’s meeting was primarily an exchange of information, and it gave me the chance to connect directly with officials tied to the project. If further dialogue continues, I remain committed to transparency and will share updates with you every step of the way.
