I had the honor of serving the San Marcos/Hays County community as a police officer for more than 20 years before retiring last year from the San Marcos Police Department as a Commander. During that time, I worked very closely with the Hays County Sheriff’s Office including being one of the first members and organizers [...]

Constable James Kohler – 2012 Friend of 4H, Hays County The definition of Friend of 4H is an individual outside of the 4H organiztion who has [...]
The last time I asked about leaf pick-up I was told the cost would be $5.00 a bag. Then trash pick-up cost increased and we could put as many bags of leaves out every two weeks as needed. For a while I had anywhere from 10 to 15 bags of leaves plus my compost container. [...]
Hays County voters have a law enforcement choice to make on May 29, and it is abundantly clear that incumbent Sheriff Gary Cutler stands head and shoulders above his opponent in the Republican Party primary race. Gary is a modern, professional lawman who has had a significant career in administration, as well as in enforcement. [...]

Thank you for the article in last week’s Hays Free Press on the CSCOPE curriculum in Hays CISD. I would like to clarify and expand upon a couple of statements attributed to me in the article. I was quoted as saying “For me, CSCOPE is great.” To give that statement a little more context, in [...]
My name is William Doherty, but everyone knows me as Pee Wee. I was born in Buda and have lived in Hays County my entire life. I’ve been a small businessman, active in the community and active in my church. I have been fortunate enough to have known every Hays County sheriff since the 1950s. [...]
The old saying, “How much does it take to run Hays CISD?”, is answered: “Everything it can get – and then some.” Last year, the district feigned austerity only to hire back everyone they gave notice to and, according to our district, they plan on ending up $3 million in the black this year!

I have known Robert Limon since 1993, first as a fellow employee and later as my friend. I have seen his commitment to family, friends, and his community first hand.
