One of these days the state of Texas will get serious about protecting our rural speed lab infested areas of this great state.
This was unnecessary and hope to see changes to protect them more vigorously in future.

It was an honor to stand in line with Deputy Bosecker’s colleagues for his final salute. A great peace officer who will be surely missed.
