Elected Officials Inducted

The beautiful 26th District Courtoom of the historic Williamson County Courthouse was the New Years Day setting for the induction of elected officials, including Jana Duty (District Attorney), Dee Hobbs (County Attorney), Betsy Lambeth (425th District Judge), Valerie Covey (Williamson County Commissioner), Deborah M. Hunt (Tax Assessor), James R. Wilson (Sheriff) and Tom Maynard (State Board of Education).   The fellow saluting at the posting of the colors is Judge Dan Gattis, the day’s master of ceremonies.   I particularly liked the emotion of Betsy Lambeth,  embracing her father, Curtis Figer, and putting on the judge’s robe made by Betsy’s mom, Billie Figer.    It was also fun to watch 2-year-old Hunter Hobbs, oblivious to all the pomp and circumstance.
