I believe the employees should be paid for the job they do. We have budget constraints, but I am for treating the employees fairly and giving them the benefits they deserve.

The market is still pretty vibrant in terms of employees looking for work.

We found that as much as you want to control what employees do, people can access infected Web sites. You can avoid this by filtering at the URL level.

Of course, new employees are always nervous about taking action and whether they will have a job afterward.

I'm board-certified in juvenile law. The county judge sits as chairman of the juvenile board, so I can be a benefit in that regard. As a lawyer, I can better understand the contracts and legal issues that come before the Commissioners Court. There are probate matters, guardianships, and mental health commitments. Those encompass at least a day or two in court (per week).

I have always voted every time I could get to the polls. I failed in that regard.
