Hauck, who has served as Tomball's police chief since 2008, replaces Christal Weber who left Tomball to become the assistant city manager in Lee's Summit, Mo., City Manager George Shackelford said.
"[Hauck] has more than 20 years of personnel management, a bachelor's and master's degree in management, is active in community organizations, and is well respected throughout the community," Shackelford said.
Shackelford said he made the recommendation to the city to hire Hauck, who did not apply for the position, after internal and external advertisement of the position and several interviews did not turn up the right fit for the city.
