Hello Friends,

My name is Teodoro (Ted) Perez. I am the Incumbent Justice of the Peace for Brown County Precinct 4.

In May of 2021, I was selected from a field of 5 applicants by the Brown County Commissioner’s Court to replace Judge Jim Cavanaugh when he retired at the end of June 2021. In the 7 months as Judge, I have presided and ruled on numerous civil cases and have magistrated arrestees at the Brown County Jail.

I have been in public service for 45 years. I started my public service career as a police officer with the Lubbock Police Department in 1975. After serving with the police department for 31 years and achieving the rank of Police Sergeant, I retired in August of 2006. My wife and I moved to Brownwood in September of 2006 and have lived in Precinct 4 since then. I had lived in Brownwood in 1975 and always wanted to return after retiring from the Lubbock Police Department. Our oldest son was born in Brownwood.

During my time with the Lubbock Police Department, I have been assigned to the Patrol Division as a Patrol Officer and Field Training Officer and Patrol Sergeant, Administration Division as the Crime Prevention Supervisor, and Internal Affairs Supervisor. I was also the LPD Honor Guard Commander for 7 years. I have over 2700 training hours and have attended one Judge school and I’m scheduled to attend another one at the end of January to enable me to perform the duties of a Justice of the Peace effectively and fairly.

My wife of 35 years (Charlene) is a retired LVN, having worked at Covenant Hospital in Lubbock, Brownwood Regional Medical Center, and Coleman County Medical Center.

My wife and I attend Bangs Church of Christ.

I am a Past Master at Mackenzie Lodge #1327 in Lubbock.

My wife and I have sung with the Heartland Harmonizers Barbershop in Brownwood and the surrounding area.

My wife currently plays clarinet with the New Horizons Band at HPU.

We have 4 adult children and 13 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Friends,

My hope, is to continue to serve you, the citizens of Brown County Precinct 4 as your Elected Justice of the Peace and I ask for your support and vote in the March 1st Primary Election. My promise to you is to serve you as an effective and fair Justice of the Peace. I believe that my years of experience in Law Enforcement, and as the Judge in Precinct 4 qualify me as the best choice to continue serving Precinct 4 as your Elected Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace.
