RE: County Court at Law 20'~ Anniversat}~
Dear Judge Tinley:
On October 1, 2005, the County Court at Law of Kerr County, Texas, will
celebrate its 20`h anniversary. I am not aware whether the commissioner's court or Judge
Brown have considered some type of remembrance, but I wanted to remind you of this
occasion in the event that Kerr County wanted to do something or at least make a press
release.
I am also writing because I have spoken to Judge Brown about the hanging of
judicial portraits in the County Court at Law. The subject came up last year sometime and
he encouraged me to have one made. Recently, Partain Photographs delivered a framed
photograph of myself to Judge Brown ~~.~ho, he reports, delivered the carne to your ot~ice
far consideration. I did not ask fr?r any type of ceremony or appearance, just an indication
that the portrait had been received and displayed. I thought that, perhaps, the County
Court at Law should receive similar treatment to the District Courts which have portraits
hung of its former judges.
In light of the upcoming anniversary, it may be a good time to consider beginning
to display judicial portraits of the County Court of Law judges it the courtroom. I would
appreciate hearing from you on the subject.
Sincerely,
William I_. Baskette, Encl.
