Seguin schools take precautionary measures after report of man with rifle on the street
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Seguin police say multiple schools were placed on precautionary lockdown Wednesday morning after a report of a man carrying what appeared to be a rifle near downtown.
According to the Seguin Police Department, officers were dispatched around 8:34 a.m. to the 500 block of S. Camp St. after a caller reported seeing a white male wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans with a possible AR-style rifle slung across his back.
Officials say officers responded immediately but were unable to locate anyone matching the description. Out of caution, St. James Catholic School was placed on lockdown.
Police expanded the search with help from surrounding agencies, combing several blocks in the area, including the Seguin Public Library,
nearby walking trails, the downtown parking garage, and Walnut Springs Park. Officers also spoke with residents, deployed a drone, and reviewed surveillance footage.
Seguin ISD also placed Ball Early Childhood Center, Jefferson Elementary School, and Saegert Alternative School on Rifle, pg. 3
Volunteers, car show participants needed
Organizers gear up for annual Seguin Fall Festival
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin -- Preparations are already underway for this year’s Seguin Fall Festival, and organizers are hoping to get a head start by signing up volunteers and recruiting more participants for the classic car show. The event is set for Saturday, Oct. 18, from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Central Park in downtown Seguin.
Patrick Pinder, Guadalupe County emergency management coordinator and fire marshal says while vendor spots have already
been filled, the car show is still looking to grow.
“We are still looking for entries into the car show. As far as our vendors, food vendors and craft vendors, we are pretty much capped out on that. We have about 50 of those signed up at this time. But we are still waiting and looking for those car show participants. We want to build on last year’s. We are expanding the site a little bit. Festival, pg. 3
Area man arrested for child pornography
(Schertz) -- Guadalupe County Sheriff’s officials say its specialized teams remain committed to keeping the community safe through proactive enforcement.
On Monday, the sheriff’s office Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) and Fugitive Apprehension Units (FAU) located and arrested Ricardo Orozco in Schertz. Orozco was wanted on an active warrant for Possession of Child Pornography. Authorities say he was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Guadalupe County Jail.
The team was implemented and led by Guadalupe County Sheriff Joshua Ray, who since the beginning, has emphasized that these arrests reflect the ongoing work to protect vulnerable victims and hold offenders accountable.
Teatro receives Union Pacific grant for healing, wellness programs
(Seguin) – A local organization is being awarded for its overall contributions to a person’s overall health.
Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin has been awarded a $5,000 Union Pacific Community Ties Giving grant to enhance its Healing and Wellness through Dance, Music, and Arts programs. The funding will help expand opportunities that promote cultural pride, artistic expression, and holistic well-being throughout the community.
The initiative offers intergenerational programming that highlights the restorative power of the arts. From Ballet Folklórico and Mariachi to visual arts and creative workshops, participants of all ages—from youth to elders—can engage in activities that encourage self-expression, connection, and healing in Seguin and neighboring rural areas.
“Art has the power to heal, to
inspire, and to unite communities,” said Dr. Yvonne M. De La Rosa, executive director of Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin. “Thanks to Union Pacific’s support, we will continue to expand access to culturally rooted arts programs that strengthen the body, mind, and spirit while fostering a deeper sense of belonging.”
The Union Pacific Community Ties Giving Program provides local grants to organizations dedicated to creating safe, prosperous, and vibrant communities. Program officials say Teatro’s commitment to cultural preservation, education, and wellness closely aligns with Union Pacific’s mission to invest in projects that make a lasting impact.

important purpose and encourages as much community support and volunteer involvement as possible.
“The main reason for this event is to benefit and raise funds for fire departments outside of their normal fundraisers and so, any assistance we can get from the community to do that, it’s appreciated,” said Pinder.
This year’s Fall Festival will also include live music, kids games and activities, beer garden and a pumpkin patch.
Organizers encourage anyone interested in volunteering or entering the car show to visit the Seguin Fall Festival Facebook page or email seguinfallfestival@gmail.com.
Police noted that while openly carrying an AR-style rifle is not against the law in Texas, such reports are taken seriously.
In a written statement to the public, officials stated, “The Seguin Police Department takes these types of calls extremely seriously. We want to assure our community that our campuses are safe, and we will always take immediate action to protect our students, staff, and residents.”
To the KWED Daily News Team:
Our Appraisal District is about to waste an enormous amount of tax funds on a local historic building and none of us know the details. Over 20 public forums were held over the summer with voting entities on the measure. It passed at a fairly overwhelming rate. However not all details were shared, especially the costs to our local communities. I hope you will hear me out on what was missing from their presentation and how it negatively affects our communities.
In early October, my understanding is that the appraisal district board will vote for the final purchase of the Mary B Erskine (MBE) property from Jason Howell. I am a local taxpayer, entrepreneur, and property owner. I found out about this purchase in late May in a school board presentation. It seemed like a normal thing but it didn't sit well. I started researching and a couple months later I have some major concerns that I feel should come to light. In short my concerns are:
1- Too Big: The MBE space is far too large for an appraisal district office despite future growth expectations, an estimated 2-3X larger than needed. This does not mention the 3+ acres surrounding property. This property is grossly larger than comparable appraisal offices in the surrounding counties.
2- Too Costly: This additional space adds nearly $5 million in excess to the project and will be a tremendous misuse of tax funds. $4 million of the excess funds will be used on wasted, unused space and $1 Million will go to an over purchase in the real estate and line the pockets of a local real estate mogul that has not added value to this property in 3 years. Also The true cost of the project to taxpayers is currently unknown. While an estimated construction budget has been created, a proposed budget for additional operating expenses that come with a larger facility and grounds has not been shared. I deeply believe that these funds should stay with the cities and school districts and be used for a better and higher purpose.
I have attached a two-page document that outlines my concerns in greater
detail. The facts behind my position have been taken from the presentation made by the district to local entities, conversations with Mr Snadden (GAD Director), and my own research via public information access. I feel some of these deeper details were not part of public meetings over the summer and should come to light. I am late to this conversation, but since the final approval has not been given, I hope that my voice will be heard.
I have attempted to resolve my concerns by internal methods already. I have communicated with Mr. Snadden on a few occasions about my stance. He has been gracious. However, we have had to agree to disagree and he is committed to the current plan. As I have little other avenue at this point to fight this proposal, I have chosen to take a vocal and public approach now.
I want transparency, I plan to launch this week and next a public information campaign in protest of this purchase, in hopes of pausing the action and exploring alternatives. Tomorrow, I plan on sending the contents of this email to the board members of the top voting entities (city councils & school boards) in the appraisal district as well as to the local media outlets. I also plan on doing a social media campaign, host a couple of public events, and create signage to post in the surrounding community to create awareness. I have never done something like this before, but I feel very passionately about what I feel like extreme overreach of using taxpayer funds that should go particularly to the kids of our community. I think we can find a better solution! Follow my campaign at the QR code below or at https://www. facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581049691283
In summary, I am asking the Guadalupe Appraisal District to withdraw from the purchase of Mary B. Erskine. I make myself available to you for discussion if you wish. Feel free to contact me for a meeting if you have interest.

Elliott
Robert Raymond “Deacon Bob” Elliott, Jr., age 88 of Seguin, passed away on September 14, 2025. There were so many more conversations we wanted to have with him.
Bob was born on April 15, 1937 in San Antonio, Texas to Katie Fern Bryan Elliott and Robert Raymond Elliott, Sr. He grew up in Ohio and San Antonio and graduated from Brackenridge High School in 1955. He served in the U.S. Army from 1955 to 1958, spending time at Drake-Edwards Kaserne in Frankfurt, Germany. Bob later graduated from St. Mary’s University in 1963 with a degree in Economics and Government.
Bob met his love, Joyce Elaine Kutac, on a blind date in August of 1959. They were married on July 23, 1960 and were blessed with three children. The family lived in many different locales due to Bob’s job, including: Marfa, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Houston and Albuquerque (twice!). In 1996, they retired to Seguin to be closer to family. They were devoted to each other and after Joyce’s death Bob missed her terribly and looked forward to being reunited with her.
Bob began his career as an officer in the U.S. Border Patrol, then moved on to the U.S. Civil Service Commission (later the Office of Personnel Management) where he worked as an investigator, and was rapidly promoted to supervisory investigator. He retired from OPM after 34 years of service.
Bob and Joyce were both devoted Catholics who felt compelled to serve their church communities. After acting as a lector and eucharistic minister, participating in the Marriage Enrichment program, RCIA, and various scripture study groups, Bob eventually felt called to become a deacon. After years of study and contemplation, he was ordained in 1987. Deacon Bob served at Church of the Risen Savior in Albuquerque, New Mexico and St. James Catholic Church in Seguin, Texas. While at S. James, he was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
Bob loved being in nature and enjoyed camping and hiking, especially in the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado. He enjoyed traveling around the country and world with his wife, children and grandchildren. He was an enthusiastic birdwatcher and could tell you the names of all the different birds enjoying the birdbaths and birdfeeders in his backyard.
In recent years, Bob became very interested in his Scotch-Irish ancestry and exhaustively researched his family lineage. Using the information he gathered in his travels and discovered through inquiry, he wrote and finished a book in 2024 on the Elliott family history.
Bob was an avid reader and a lifelong learner. He was a news junkie and enjoyed watching PBS. He was always curious. We loved talking with him; he told good stories and had an uncanny memory for events and people he had known throughout his life. He was thoughtful and honest, open-minded and evolved. He was a true Christian with a strong sense of ethics and a passionate champion of those who were less fortunate and marginalized. Bob loved and was proud of his country and even joined his first protest shortly before his death.
Bob is preceded in death by his wife of 63 years and his parents. He is survived by his loving family including: children, Elaine Teas and husband Andy of Katy TX, Jeff Elliott and wife Valerie of St. Cloud MN, and Elizabeth Elliott of New York, NY; grandchildren, Robert Teas and wife Elizabeth, Paul Teas and wife Aileen, Tara Teas and partner Devin Streit, and Stacie Elliott and fiancé Jorge Esparza Hernandez; great-grandson, Henry Parker Teas; step-sister Linda Seals; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, other loving family members, and many friends.
Visitation will begin on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. at St. James Catholic Church in Seguin followed by the recitation of the Holy Rosary at 12:30 p.m. The Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 1:00 p.m. with the Reverend Canon Stanislaw Fiuk and the Reverend Gregory J.
