HAYS COUNTY — Lieutenant Erica Hernandez was selected to the Executive Board of the Texas Jail Association (TJA).
The TJA was formed on June 4, 1986, in Austin to provide a distinct and unified voice for corrections officers working in local jails.
Membership is comprised of Jail Administrators, Corrections Officers, Sheriffs, Support Staff and other interested parties of the corrections profession in Texas.
Lieutenant Hernandez has served the Hays County Sheriff’s Office for over 22 years and is currently assigned to Support Services.
“I am excited to be given this new opportunity,” Hernandez said. “[I am] looking forward to this new endeavor. I am very humbled and thankful to our agency, my chain of command and Sheriff Cutler for their support.”
