Grimes County Sheriff, Don Sowell, shared on Facebook his participation in the 150th anniversary celebration of the Sheriffs’ Association of Texas in Navarro County that took place on Wednesday, August 14th.
The Sheriffs’ Association of Texas is one of the oldest law enforcement associations in the nation.
65 County Sheriffs attended the inaugural meeting that took place in Corsicana in 1874, led by Sul Ross, Sheriff of McLennan County at the time, who would later become a Texas State Senator, Governor of Texas, and President of Texas A&M University.
