A Message from the Mayor Emil Garza

Message from the Mayor

Hello my fellow Cueroites, The weekend was beautiful, the week was busy, however fun and the trip to the Texas State Capitol on Saturday April 12 was awesome. A mix of participants, the Citizens Police Academy Alumni, the Mayors Youth Council and some Cuero residents toured the Capitol grounds and attended a Capitol tour of the interior to include both legislative chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The bus even made a detour to downtown Austin, so a citizen could get a photo with the Willie Nelson statue, made his day!!! Please keep in mind next year as there were still 25 seats unfi lled, I was disappointed. 04/16/2025 02:17 PM

Strength comes from God By Gary Andrews [email protected] How many of us really rely on our faith in God to get us through difficult situations? I know I have called on Him many times and He has given me insight to handle problems that I have encountered. Many will say this is foolishness, but I will tell you my faith in Him grows stronger and stronger because I know He lives and gives me strength to handle anything. 04/16/2025 02:17 PM
