Commissioners Court reset
Three new faces joined the Waller County Commissioners Court in 2015. Voters elected Justin Beckendorff, Precinct 4, Russell Klecka, Precinct 2; and Judge Trey Duhon to replace three outgoing officials. Duhon said the new commissioners—who join John Amsler, Precinct 1, and Jeron Barnett, Precinct 3—will help make Waller County a better place.
Voters OK liquor sales in bars
Waller County voters in November passed a proposition that allows liquor to be sold in county restaurants and bars. Under a Prohibition-era law, restaurants in the county were prohibited from selling hard alcohol, said Justin Beckendorff, Waller County Commissioner Precinct 4. The new law allows the sale of beer and hard liquor a change Beckendorff said would draw more upscale restaurants to the county, notably in the Precinct 4 area.
