Williamson County honors longtime employee
The Commissioners Court honored Peggy Vasquez for her 31 years of working for the county attorney’s office.
Ms. Vasquez began her career in 1993, according to a resolution read by commissions. In that time, she “has served on the Texas District and County Attorney Association’s Key Personnel Board improving prosecution on a statewide level and in 2015 was inducted into the Crime Victim Rights Wall of Fame for her service to victims of crime in Williamson County.”
“Peggy has touched so much of the county employees, both throughout the years and current ones here,” County Attorney Dee Hodds said. “I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a warm sentiment for Peggy."
