Igot up Sunday morning thinking it seems like the last thing people need is another sermon. We are so busy as a culture and we have so much to do, and did I really want to stand up and give people one more thing to do, one more rule to follow?
In the last few weeks Milam County, like most counties in Texas, has seen an uptick in various incidents that are very disconcerting and quite frankly have to be addressed. With the federal government’s complete lack of control at the southern, and now the northern border as well, we have seen record breaking numbers of illegal aliens pouring into the country in each of the last three years. As a result, we are also experiencing a rise in illegal-alien-related crime that has kept our law enforcement and emergency management agencies on a constant state of alert. It’s a heightened stage of alert that we should all be aware of.
Other states’ realities show why Texas is lucky Greg Abbott didn’t get his way
I’ve had questions about what the requirements are for District Attorneys in Texas, so I’d like to visit about that for a bit here. Under state law, they must be at least 18 years of age, and a Texas resident for a minimum of one year before running for D.A. Texas law takes residency requirements seriously for public servants like prosecutors and judges, so a District Attorney must also have resided in the same district (for instance, Milam County or Robertson County where a D.A. represents a single county) for at least six months prior to running for the position.
