Falls County Commissioners Court met at the County Courthouse, Monday, April 14, 2025, at 9 a.m., County Judge Jay Elliott presiding. The commissioners present were Milton Albright (Pct. 1), F.A. Green (Pct. 2), Jason Willberg (Pct. 3), and Nita Wuebker (Pct. 4). ADA Steve Sharp was in attendance.
The Falls County Sheriff’s Office, alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the United States Marshall’s Service, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Falls County District Attorney’s Office executed several search and arrest warrants for drug trafficking on April 11. One of the imperatives for our agency is close coordination and cooperation with our fellow law enforcement agencies, built upon mutual trust and respect, to apprehend those who would bring drugs into our communities. This is what professional, accountable law enforcement in Falls County is able to achieve, through established and trusted relationships with other law enforcement agencies, to better our county and improve the wellbeing of our citizens.
