  Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber addressed the ruling on the The Show Me Your Papers Law ( Senate Bill 4) which was handed its first defeat by Federal Judge Orlando Garcia issuing a temporary blockage on the implementation of the “sanctuary cities” law that was supposed to go into effect on Friday September 1, 2017.

As a result of the final approval of what is commonly known as the Show Me Your Papers Law, or SB 4,  signed into effect by Texas Governor Greg Abbott on May 7, 2017, a group of law enforcement officials, cities, and counties have filed a federal lawsuit against the State of Texas in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division.
