Guadalupe County hears more about county assistance districts during public hearing
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Guadalupe County residents had the chance Tuesday to weigh in on the idea of creating one or more County Assistance Districts -- a proposal that would collect sales tax in the unincorporated areas of the county in which to fund specific needs.
Although the deadline to place the matter before voters in the November election has already passed, county leaders say they still want to pursue the concept, using the coming months to gather input and address questions from constituents.
The County Assistance District, if approved by voters,
would be authorized to collect a local sales tax — up to a maximum of 2 percent combined with other local taxes.
It’s only in the unincorporated areas of the county where they are currently at a 6.75 percent. That’s one and a half cents below the state maximum of 8.25 percent. If approved, it could generate an additional $1.5-$1.8 million.
During the public hearing, residents spoke in opposition. Terry Harper questioned whether the tax would even generate enough revenue to make a difference.

Texas Theatre brings “Ann” to the stage
Seguin audiences for the next two weekends will get the chance to step inside the wit, charm, and fierce spirit of one of Texas’ most unforgettable leaders. The Texas Theatre is set to present Ann, the acclaimed one-woman play by Holland Taylor. The theater production chronicles the life and legacy of former Texas Governor Ann Richards. See story on page 2.
Texas Theatre Brings Governor Ann Richards to Life in “Ann”
(Seguin) -- The life and legacy of former Texas Governor Ann Richards comes to life this weekend on the stage at the Texas Theatre in downtown Seguin. Holland Taylor’s play, “Ann” opens Friday night. The first show is sold out, but there are more chances available to see this popular production.
The show is being directed by Tysha Calhoun, a well-known director who is now bringing her talents to the Texas Theatre. Calhoun says Taylor’s script begins the story with a real-life image of Governor Richards and then the show evolves from there.
“She introduces Ann to the audience by playing a clip of the Democratic National Convention speech. So we’re all taken back to 1988, where you see, and where the entire nation really saw Ann for the very first time. There’s just a small little excerpt of that speech. And then Ann Richards comes on stage as if she is giving a speech to a graduating class,” said Calhoun.
Calhoun says the play goes on to tell stories about various parts of Richards’ life and how that all helped to shape who she was in her public and private life. The story is presented by talented local actress Mary Jane Windle, who takes on the role of Governor Richards and begins with that special speech.
“Ann starts giving this speech to the graduating class, that ends up being sort of autobiographical — letting us know who she was and how she grew up. Some of the things that she was exposed to at an early age, made her actually quite perfect in this ‘Good Old Boy’ politics of Texas. And then we immediately go into after she is elected governor. She sort of gives her accolades of what she was able to accomplish, and those accomplishments are not minor in any way, shape or form. When you come see the show, you’ll be able to see what they are. Then she goes into what it was like being the actual governor of Texas. So, we’re in the office with her and her assistant, Nancy. She’s always on the phone and we see sort of the circus of activity that is constantly going on all around and at all times, and somehow she is able to keep a thumb on top of every single thing that’s happening,” said Calhoun.
Windle says she’s thrilled to have the opportunity to portray Richards on stage. She says it’s been one of the most challenging roles that she’s ever tackled. She says it’s been made easier by the direction of Calhoun, who is pushing her to do more in this role. Windle says she’s also had some unexpected help in her preparation for this role. She recently reached out to Sandra Castellanos. Castellanos is a Seguin native who was actually a member
of Richard’s staff in Austin. Windle says Castellanos has shared a great deal with her, which has helped her tap into the essence of the former governor.
“I tracked her down and she has been a delight, and a light, and a font of information. She’s letting us borrow some things for the desk that were Ann’s, and she’s giving us just some very behind the scenes insight into what it was like to work with her,” said Windle
The play comes at a time when Texas politics has taken the national stage with legislative fights over redistricting currently underway in Austin. Windle says the words of Richards could not come at a better time, and she believes those words can make a real difference for us all today, regardless of your political affiliation.
“One of the things she says, that I get to say and it’s another choke up moment for Mary Jane, but of course not Ann — but she says, ‘the good news is we had rung a bell that they could never unring, and by golly, in six months, they are unringing that bell.’ We need the kids. We need our young people to come and know who she was and hear about her, (and learn) that it is possible for government to be fair,” said Windle.
The play runs the next two weekends, with performances set for 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and a matinee set for 2:30 p.m. Sundays.
Tickets can be purchased online at thetexas.org.

Guadalupe County recognizes National Emergency Management Awareness Month
Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Guadalupe County officials are honoring the people who stand ready to protect the community during times of crisis.
During Tuesday’s regular meeting of the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court, Commissioner Pct. 4 Stephen Germann, publicly read a proclamation designating August 2025 as National Emergency Management Awareness Month in Guadalupe County.
Emergency management staff from across the county were in attendance for the recognition. Leading the way was Patrick Pinder, the Guadalupe County Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Marshal. Pinder noted that this was the first time the month had been formally observed locally.
“The team behind me is the group that makes it happen. You have seen a lot of things in the last few months that have happened, the Kerrville flooding in July and
then last year in July, we had some stuff here in our county. We have had FEMA in this county within a year, twice. Unfortunately, disasters are happening more often and the team behind me is the one that is going to make sure that the citizens of this county get whatever they need when it does come,” said Pinder.
According to officials, the proclamation highlights the vital role of emergency managers in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters — whether natural or man-made. It also acknowledges their dedication to prevention, protection, mitigation, and recovery efforts, and their commitment to safeguarding life, property, and the environment.
Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher also thanked the emergency management team for their efforts to protect residents.
“I just want to say thank
you for being in court today and taking the time – bringing some more awareness to the efforts that are surrounding emergency management, bringing awareness to have folks know that there are early warning systems and paying attention. We need to be very aware with all the activity that is going on in our county and the region and state and like you said, the team that is here along with others put in a lot of time and effort to make sure that all Guadalupe County residents remain safe, have the resources they need especially during and after a disaster so I just want to say ‘thank you,’” said Kutscher.
According to the proclamation, the observance of the month calls “on citizens, businesses, faith groups, and organizations to express appreciation to emergency managers at every level who work tirelessly to keep communities safe in the face of all hazards.”
Cindy
Hearing, continued.
Former County Attorney Bob Etlinger urged commissioners to abandon the proposal altogether, saying it “should die right here.”
County Judge Kyle Kutscher explained that the measure would not involve raising property taxes, but rather sales taxes, with revenues restricted to “certain allowable uses.”
“I know that there’s a lot of individuals that see the word tax and have very strong feelings about it right. I think all of us have our own opinions about that and most people, no matter what your background is or perspective -- don’t want to pay additional tax. I don’t like it. This court doesn’t like it. We are trying to find unique ways to solve very very big expensive challenges. Some of the questions were what are those issues? In local government code in the state of Texas that creates the ability to create these assistance districts also limit the ability of entities like counties to be able to use those funds only for specific things. So, the tax assistance district can only be used for road construction, for law enforcement, for detention and jail facilities, for fire protection or economic development,” said Kutscher.
Kutscher says no whether the county chooses to move forward with county assistance districts, the needs will still exist.
“We are looking at tremendous growth, a tremendous amount impact to our county roads and our inability to keep up with that development, a lot of drainage related problems, jail capacity issues, more law enforcement needs with the SO. We are at almost max capacity on the 598 (bed) jail. We are also going to have to use planning funds to look at feasibility options on the expansion of the current jail facility and its location or a new facility. None of us up here are excited about having a conversation about building a new adult detention facility. But we as five individuals don’t get to control how people act unfortunately, and they do stupid things sometimes and law enforcement gets involved. We are obligated as a county created by the state of Texas to have a jail facility,” said Kutscher.
Commissioner Pct. 3 Michael Carpenter told attendees that, as a consumption tax, the burden wouldn’t fall solely on county residents — noting that tourists, passersby, and even undocumented individuals who make purchases would contribute to the fund.
Carpenter says the state legislation has made things challenging for counties especially those who are experiencing rapid growth in the unincorporated areas.
“Because of the changes that the state legislator has made over the last three biennial sessions, cities largely cannot annex without voluntary annexations or elections and that’s not a bad thing but one of the cascading effects of that is that new development is going to happen in unincorporated areas of the county or ETJs – however the state legislator has also made it where any landowner that is in an ETJ can opt out of that ETJ and it becomes an unincorporated area of the county. So, the dynamic has shifted from years and years ago where cities tended to expand over time by annexation and unincorporated areas of the county would get smaller and smaller. We are actually in a dynamic now and we are struggling to figure out how to respond to it where the unincorporated areas in many if not most of the counties in the state are actually beginning to expand,” said Carpenter.
He added that, with the November ballot option off the table, the county now has roughly a year to explore this, and other possible revenue streams needed to support the area’s fast paced growth.
Meanwhile, Carpenter says he encourages residents to remain engaged and wants them to share ideas directly with him.
“The reason that we have the public hearing is we do want to hear from everyone. If you have other ideas of ways that we can do even better than we are doing now, we really do want to hear from you because we are struggling with these questions and the state legislator – God bless them – they sometimes don’t understand the cascading effects of the things that they put into place and we are trying to find ways to do things in a very conservative manner,” said Carpenter.

Silvia
Eileen Mary Silvia, also known as Mrs. Hotshots, the Queen of McQueeney, and more affectionately, Mom and Gigi, died on July 20, 2025 peacefully in her home surrounded by her family. Eileen was born Aug. 16, 1935 to George and Alice Holt in Derby, England. She was the second of their three children.
Eileen, along with her husband, Philip Silvia, bought Hotshot’s Lakeview Camp in 1973 and expanded it to a full fledge restaurant that was known for its Friday Night Fish Fries and Hotshot’s famous green bean salad.
It was on the banks of the Guadalupe River where Eileen began expanding her family beyond her husband and four children. She considered any and all employees her child and her customers family and friends. While she loved all of her extended family, none could compare to that of her immediate family.
After the Flood of ’98, Eileen worked for Seguin ISD as an aide, helping children read. She also spent several years working at Walmart as a door greeter in the garden center.
She loved basketball and was an avid supporter of the Lady Matador Basketball team and enjoyed watching any NBA game on television, especially the San Antonio Spurs. She had a special place in her heart for all animals. She supported the Guadalupe County Humane Society any chance she could get, including playing Santa for its annual fundraiser.
She was quick to give you a hug or give you her personal salute followed by

Alcohol Drinking Rate At Record Low
