Thank you for writing. Sheriff Garcia, a gun-carrying law enforcement officer for 27 years, has already said publicly on multiple occasions that he supports the Second Amendment. He has also said just as often that he takes seriously his oath to enforce the laws of the state of Texas and the United States. In the event of a conflict between state and federal law, the sheriff will look to court rulings and the county attorney’s office for guidance.
