                         HON. VICENTE GONZALEZ

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 10, 2018

  Mr. GONZALEZ of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Judge 
Endercio Chapa, Jr., a Justice of the Peace in Live Oak County. For 28 
years, Judge Chapa prioritized the needs of Precinct 4 and approached 
every circumstance with a fair and open mind.
  Born in San Diego, Texas, and raised in Live Oak County, Judge Chapa 
has deep ties to South Texas. He earned his Associates degree in 1978 
from Texas Christian University then attended Alfred Edge Real Estate 
School in 1980 where he earned his real estate license. Finally, in 
1993, Judge Chapa attended Bee County College to receive law 
enforcement training.
  Before becoming a Justice of the Peace, Judge Chapa worked for a time 
as a rancher and auctioneer. Once elected, he still made time to offer 
his expertise to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and started 
his own successful security company. It is my hope that Judge Chapa 
will look back on his years of service and take pride in all he has 
achieved for our community. I wish Judge Chapa all the best and hope 
his time is well spent with his wife, Margie, and their three 
daughters, Claudia, Salina, and Isabella.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to represent Judge Endercio Chapa, Jr. 
This hardworking entrepreneur and public servant is a shining example 
of what the 15th District has to offer.
