  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Frio County 
Constable Ted Nieto for his exceptional career in law enforcement.
  Ted Nieto was elected as the Constable for Precinct Four in January 
2004, but has been actively serving his community for the last ten 
years. He received his law enforcement certification at Southwest 
College and is currently working to obtain his police license from San 
Antonio College.
  He believes in establishing a solid law enforcement agency that is 
committed to the needs of the community, and has devoted his department 
to serve the public with honesty and integrity.
  Constable Nieto is an excellent example of an elected official who 
understands the needs of his community. The mission for his department 
is to promote safety in the community by enforcing court orders, 
supporting early intervention activities, and to work together with 
neighboring law enforcement agencies.
  Constable Nieto is a man who believes in the value of community 
involvement and intervention. Currently he is the District 19 region 
coordinator for the Special Olympics of Texas. As well as the present 
coordinator for the annual law enforcement torch run and the youth 
leader for the Catholic Youth Organization.
  Constable Nieto has four children, Jedlin and Christina age 18, 
Shantelle age 10 and Issiah age 6.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Frio County Constable Ted Nieto for 
his dedication and service to the community.
