Summer is off to a great start here in the County Judge's Office. We have been running on all cylinders to protect taxpayers and uphold the values important to Tarrant County residents.

Prayer Luncheon

We started out May with the 2nd Annual Tarrant County National Day of Prayer Luncheon. It was an incredible time of fellowship and prayer, with 700 attendees. We were blessed by our keynote speaker, Kevin Sorbo, who candidly shared how his professional and health challenges led him to rediscover God’s faithfulness.

We can't wait to do it again next year. Join us on May 7th, 2026, at the Hurst Conference Center! We plan on making the event even bigger—you'll get to gather with 900 people to celebrate the National Day of Prayer. Mark May 7th on your calendar, and we'll see you there.

Redistricting

On June 3rd, the Commissioners Court voted by a 3-2 majority to adopt a new precinct map, which became effective immediately. The new map aligns our Commissioner precinct boundaries with the longstanding conservative majority of our county.  If you would like to know more about the redistricting, watch the interview below:

Small Business Administration Visit

Administrator Kelly Loeffler and other representatives from the Federal Small Business Administration (SBA) visited Tarrant County and had the pleasure of touring multiple local businesses, including Mrs. Renfro's Salsa and Ida Mae Home. These tours showcased the incredible ingenuity, dedication, and creativity of Tarrant County small businesses. I encourage you to find local businesses to support to keep our local economy going strong.

Coach Travis Pride

This week, the Commissioners Court adopted a resolution honoring the life of Coach Travis Pride, who passed away suddenly earlier this year. Coach Pride's family and friends were in attendance. In the midst of the usual duties of county government, the whole room was moved to pause and honor a life well lived.

RESOLUTION HONORING THE LIFE

AND LEGACY OF COACH TRAVIS PRIDE

WHEREAS, we honor the remarkable life and legacy of Coach Travis Pride, a man of deep faith, unwavering integrity, and selfless leadership — whose influence continues to shape the lives of students, colleagues, and families throughout Tarrant County; and

As summer moves along, my office will continue to watch every dollar and prioritize efficiency in Tarrant County. In just a few days, we all get to celebrate living in the greatest country in the world. For 249 years, the United States has stood as a beacon of freedom throughout the world. I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July with your families. Try and stay cool out there in this Texas summer!

With gratitude,
