It is an honor to serve as Sheriff of Zapata County.  My pledge to you is to be the best Sheriff I can be by giving the citizens what they deserve, a working Sheriff who cares for the safety and security of everyone.  I believe in being totally accountable and responsive to all citizens no matter who you are or where you live in the county.  I continue to work with everyone using an open door policy. I strongly believe in enforcing the law equal to everyone.  My efforts are notable and I will continue to push for excellence. I appreciate the support that you give my staff and myself as we perform a difficult job in very uncertain times.
I believe the men and women of the Zapata County Sheriff’s Office are the Agency’s most valuable asset and I am proud to lead them as we fulfill our solemn obligation to our community. We hold ourselves accountable to high standards and, as Sheriff, I take seriously my responsibility to ensure we provide the highest quality Law Enforcement services to all those who live in, work in, or visit Zapata County.
