Chad Decker Officially Sworn In as Tom Green County Commissioner

Chad Decker was officially sworn in as the new Precinct 2 commissioner for Tom Green County after being unanimously appointed to fill the unexpired term left by the late Sammy Farmer. Decker had already secured the Republican nomination with about 60% of the vote in the March primary and is set to run unopposed in November, prompting the court to move forward with the appointment. He assumed duties immediately following the vote and joined commissioners for the remainder of the meeting. Officials also approved a memorial display in the courtroom honoring Farmer, who had served since 2019.
