The 83rdJudicial District covered six counties in the Big Bend area of Texas and was the largest district in Texas in land area.

Had one investigator and one assistant DA to assist me to cover the six counties as one of its chief law enforcement officers. Initiated a large, coordinated drug interdiction effort that involved local, state and federal agencies for the first time on a coordinated basis. Tried to juries 24 major murder and drug cases which was an outstanding learning experience.<\/span><\/p>\nMoved to Dallas, Texas in late 1988 to work for\u00a0Graham, Bright and Smith.
