I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2011 has been a blessed year and I am hopeful that 2012 will be the same for you and your family. It is hard to believe that almost a year has passed since I took on the toughest and most important judicial bench in Nueces County. Protecting families through Child Protective Services cases, working with our youth dealing with all the juvenile crime and helping incapacitated people through guardianship cases has been extremely rewarding and challenging for me. I am honored to serve the people of Nueces County in this capacity and look forward to the continuation of that service in 2012. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to yours. God Bless you all!
