"I'm glad that the voters of the 25th Judicial District did not believe the lies that were spread and that they continued to believe in what we've done for the past seven years and will continue to do in the future. I'm very excited about the fact that in the future, we are going to have a new district judge here in Guadalupe County that would be able to take up some of the overage for the civil cases which will allow us to implement a new specialty court for veterans and for mental health. I'm very excited that we are going to have the opportunity to be able to do that and be able to help individuals in this community," said Old.
