  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Constable Jimmy 
Willborn for his exceptional career in law enforcement.
  Jimmy Willborn has served in law enforcement for more than 40 years. 
He holds a Master Peace Officers License, and for 31 years, he worked 
to keep his fellow citizens safe as a member of the San Antonio Police 
Department.
  During his career, he has been a consistent advocate for better law 
enforcement. He is the founder of the Blue Santa program, and the 
former director of the Texas Narcotics Control Program. He helped to 
build connections with other law enforcement agencies as the secretary/
treasurer of CLEAT, the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas. 
He put his expertise to work as a developer of the National and State 
Control Policy for Drug and Violent Crimes, in 1994 and 1995.
  Jimmy Willborn currently serves as Constable for Precinct 2 of Bexar 
County, Texas. He also works as a lobbyist for the South West Texas 
Constable's and Justice of the Peace Association, attempting to help 
legislators craft bills that will strengthen the Texas Law enforcement 
community. He is currently lobbying in support of bills that will help 
to keep Texas' children safe by creating reduced-speed school zones 
around high schools.
  Mr. Speaker, Constable Jimmy Willborn is a dedicated guardian for the 
people of Bexar County, and his community is safer and stronger as a 
result of his presence. I am proud to have the opportunity to recognize 
his service.
