SPECIAL MESSAGE TO ALL PRECINCT 3 RESIDENTS
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
These are truly unprecedented times for our community, our State, our Nation and most of all, our families.
During the days and weeks ahead, I want you to know that my staff and I are here for you. Please know that we will do everything possible to respond to your concerns and needs, even as we learn to cope with the new way of life facing us in Webb County.
Hopefully life will return to some semblance of normal soon, but in the meantime, we must all do our part to keep our families and our community as safe as possible.
Please feel free to contact me or Patty San Miguel and Sergio Rivas of my staff through my county office at 956-523-4625. You may also reach us through our office at the Santa Teresita Community Center at 956-418-6563.
May God bless you and keep you and your family safe!
