County Judge calls second special meeting

Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra called a second special meeting Friday to discuss Precinct 3’s Constable vacancy following Ray Helm’s resignation. 

The second meeting is scheduled for Friday at 1 p.m. to discuss accepting Helm’s resignation, which was set for July 31, and to appoint someone to fill the vacancy for the remainder of Helm’s term through Dec. 31. 

Helm permanently surrendered his peace officer’s license and submitted his resignation after admitting that he falsely reported training to the Texas Commission of Law Enforcement that he knew did not constitute training for TCOLE purposes. A TCOLE investigation says that Helm “fabricated” documents to “memorialize” the training session they say did not occur.
