Last week we celebrated Veterans Day. We have many license holders who have served our country in the military. Your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed, and I am grateful for your service.

Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. I hope you enjoy Thanksgiving with friends and family. I am especially thankful that it seems we can gather more safely this year. This pandemic has lasted longer than I ever expected. I see a potential light at the end of the tunnel and look towards the future with hope.

From the Commissioner - September 2021

Submitted by Christine Anderson on Thu, 2021-09-09 10:00

September in Texas. The month we wish for fall, with pumpkin spice lattes and cooler weather. In reality, we have to wait many more weeks before going outside without melting in the sun. Here’s to the first cold front coming soon.

This September, we remember the 20th anniversary of September 11. And as I listen to that day relived, I relive my own version of the day with the hope that we never experience another day of such despair and sadness. And may we never forget those who lost their lives that day, so many of whom were rushing to care for others.
