It will be up to Commissioner's Court to name a temporary replacement for Reyes whose tenure goes back to the late seventies. Reyes is presently the longest tenured elected official in Maverick County and he began as treasurer during the administration of then Maverick County Judge Ramon Saucedo. His primary function has been to handle payroll and benefits for all county employees among other very important responsibilities. Reyes has opted retirement at this time in order to spend more time with his family as well as to have more time to take care of his health. He would like to take this opportunity to thank the voters of Maverick County for entrusting him with this very important position for all these years and he wishes the County the best of luck in all their endeavors.

Maverick County authorities have been analyzing the legal situation Commissioner Rudy Heredia finds himself in at this time following his arrest on Thursday by FBI agents on charges of money laundering. According to reports, based on state laws, Heredia can in fact continue serving as commissioner until a verdict is reached in his case in Federal Court or until the process is complete to determine his guilt or innocence. In the meantime, he will continue to serve as Commissioner of Precinct 2. He also has the opportunity of deciding whether or not he wishes to continue in his position as he has two years remaining in his term. If he is found guilty, the Federal Court will themselves make a recommendation to Maverick County of what steps they would need to take in reference to his responsibilities as commissioner.
