Transparency matters — and staying informed keeps us all connected.

 
 

Being your Commissioner means showing up — not just at City Hall, but for YOU.

From 2020–2026, 778 residents reached out to me for help. And I made sure they were heard.

✔️ 90% resolved (2020–2022)

✔️ 95% resolved (2022–2024)

✔️ 97% resolved (2024–2026)


That’s not just progress — that’s commitment.


When you call, message, or stop me in the grocery store… I’m listening. And I’m working.

Public safety isn’t just a promise — it’s something you should be able to see and measure.


I’m proud to recognize the dedicated men and women of the Texas City Police Department for their continued commitment to our community. Because of their hard work and strong partnerships, we are seeing real progress.



📊 From 2022–2025, Texas City has seen:

✔️ Violent crime — Down

✔️ Total crime — Down

✔️ Homicides — Down

✔️ Robbery — Down

✔️ Assault — Down

✔️ Motor vehicle theft — Down

✔️ Other thefts — Down

✔️ Burglary of motor vehicles — Down


➡️ One area to watch: Burglary — Up


And that means we stay focused, proactive, and committed to solutions.


These results don’t happen by accident. They come from collaboration — between law enforcement, community members, civic groups, and local businesses — all working together to keep Texas City safe.


Transparency matters. Accountability matters. Results matter.
