Thank you for your commitment to addressing the diversion of91 l fees and charges by states and other taxing jurisdictions through this newly formed advisory committee. Terry has been a 9-1-1 professional in Oklahoma for over 30 years. In 1980, at the beginning of his career, he first served as a dispatcher in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Throughout his career, he has served as communications officers and managers for cities throughout Oklahoma and has attained many accomplishments within their respective 9-1-1 centers. In the City ofNorman, Oklahoma, Terry oversaw the 9-1-1 operations and the citywide radio. Here, he integrated the City radio system into the State of Oklahoma radio network. Terry was also instrumental in the replacement of the public safety software that streamlined the delivery of services from the 9-1-1 call to call completion in Oklahoma. In 2017, Terry was hired as the first 9-1-1 Coordinator for the State of Oklahoma and is charged with coordinating and overseeing 9-1-1 efforts throughout the State. He is employed by the Oklahoma 911 Management Authority, which voted on March 4, 2021, to support his application and represent Oklahoma for the 911 Strike Force.

  • July 21, 2021 Dear Leaders of Democratic States
    July 21, 2021 Dear Leaders of Democratic States: In the streets of Cuba, the people are bravely marching for a new day of freedom and demanding an end to the illegitimate, brutal Cuban dictatorship. After more than six decades of brutally oppressive rule, the Cuban people are risking their lives to loudly denounce the disastrous communist regime that has time and time again failed to promote and protect the general welfare of its citizens. The people are shouting “libertad,” and demanding freedom, democracy and human rights. As the Cuban people risk their lives for freedom, the world must stand with them in this critically important moment. As the democratically-elected leaders of the world’s free countries, we write to you today to fervently implore you to take action in support of the Cuban people and their democratic aspirations. It is time to finally end the evil and murderous reign of the communist, illegitimate Cuban regime that has murdered, tortured and oppressed for far too long. In concerted solidarity with the Cuban people, we believe there are four essential actions that we all must take immediately to promote freedom for the Cuban people and place further pressure on the corrupt and murderous Cuban regime to end its reign of terror. First, we urge you to emphatically denounce the illegitimate Cuban regime, hold it accountable for its human rights abuses and immediately end diplomatic relations. Freedom-loving nations must make clear our full and unwavering support for Cuba's pro-democracy movement, and for free and fair elections, with international supervision.

  • Texas Law Judicial Clerks List
    Texas Law Judicial Clerks List This list includes Texas Law alumni who reported their clerkships to the Judicial Clerkship Program – or whose names were published in the Judicial Yellow Book or Martindale Hubbell – and includes those who clerked during the recent past for judges who are currently active. There are some judges and courts for which few Texas Law alumni have clerked – in these cases we have listed alumni who clerked further back or who clerked for judges who are no longer active. Dates following a law clerk or judge’s name indicate year of graduation from the University of Texas School of Law. Retired or deceased judges, or those who has been appointed to another court, are listed at the end of each court section and denoted (*). Those who wish to use the information on this list will need to independently verify the information being used.

  • The November 2008 Texas Ballot
    The November 2008 Texas Ballot This post-primary look at the ballots includes Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians (who will choose their candidates at their state convention). Incumbents names are in bold. Here's how the Texas Weekly Index (TWI) works: It's the average difference between statewide Republicans and statewide Democrats in contested elections in 2004 and 2006, by district. If it's red, or a negative number, Republicans did better in that district; if it's blue or a positive number, Democrats did better. It's not meant to predict results, but to give you a quick look at recent political history in each district.
