Prior to becoming County Judge, Diana Bautista worked for the county as a clerk, as a Secretary for the Jail Administrator, and then became a Pleasanton Police Officer and Atascosa County Sheriff’s Deputy. During her time with public service offices such as these, Judge Bautista learned how she could best serve the people of Atascosa County. Taking her oath in 2003, Judge Bautista has served admirably for over a decade, boldly advocating for the citizens and employees of the county. In addition to her exemplary career, Judge Bautista is a committed wife and a mother and a cancer survivor. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize Judge Diana Bautista. Her dedication to the citizens of Atascosa County has truly made her community a better place to live and work. I thank you for this time.”
