County elected officials were sworn in Tuesday at the 128th District Courtroom in the Orange County Courthouse. Three members of the Commissioners Court, three justices of the peace, and one county department head received their oaths of office.
County Judge Dean Crooks served as the master of ceremonies and was the first to receive his oath of office from former county judge Pete Runnels who currently serves as the mayor of Pinehurst. Theresa Adams Beauchamp and Robert Viator were given their oaths of office to be county commissioners of Precinct Two and Precinct Four respectfully.
Hershel Stagner, Jr. was sworn in to begin his first four-year term as the Justice of the Peace Precinct One. He previously was given his oath to fill the unexpired term of Judge David Peck. Chad Jenkins was given his oath of office by Derry Dunn the judge he is replacing as the Justice of the Peace Precinct Two. Rodney Price received his oath from Reed Galloway to serve another term as the Justice of the Peace Precinct Four.
Judge Troy Johnson administered the oath of office for Brandy Robertson to serve as county clerk. The ceremony served as a work day for Robertson as she made sure all of the elected officials and those swearing them in had signed all of the appropriate paperwork.
