The ceremonial swearing in of Katie Boggeman as 97th District Attorney will be at noon on Nov. 18 in the 97th District Courtroom.
While she has been serving as Interim DA since Aug. 9, Boggeman said she was contacted by the governor’s office on Nov. 11. A staff member asked if she wanted to be considered for the appointment after DA Casey Hall submitted her resignation on Nov. 1 for a term expiring on Dec. 31.
Boggeman said this was a surprise to her and she told that person she was already serving in the interim after Hall was suspended, and that she was the incoming DA following the Nov. 5 election.

The second community meeting on needs for an emergency room or hospital in Bowie is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Nov. 19 at the Bowie Community Center.
This is the second meeting to discuss these needs following the closure of the Faith Community Health Center emergency room on Oct. 6, just shy of a year of operation. More than 200 people attended that first meeting, where discussion centered on the creation of a taxing district to support any sort of medical facility.
Citizens in the Bowie area are encouraged to attend and take part in these discussions.
