Stefanie Horton, precinct one constable since January 2013, was appointed Monday to fill the unexpired term of the late Judge David Allen.
The Montague County Commissioner’s Court accepted the recommendation made by the personnel committee composed of County Attorney Clay Riddle, County Judge Kevin Benton, County Auditor Jennifer Essary and County Treasurer Jennifer Fenoglio. There were six applicants for the JP1 position.
Judge Allen, who served as JP since he was elected to his first term in 2010, died on Jan. 30 after a lengthy battle with the COVID-19 virus. Prior to the judge’s death on Jan. 25, Tim Cole was named to temporarily fill in the judge’s position. Cole indicated he was not interested in the position and recently moved to a new home outside the precinct.
Precinct one essentially encompasses the northern half of the county with the dividing line around Montague. Horton began her first term as constable in January, 2013.
