Frio County Commissioners appoint Pedro Peter Salinas as sheriff, administer oath
Summary
Frio County Commissioners voted to appoint Pedro (Peter) Salinas as county sheriff to fill an unexpired term, accepted his official bond and had former Judge Luna administer the oath of office during a special October 2024 session.
Frio County Commissioners voted in a special October 2024 meeting to appoint Pedro (Peter) Salinas as Frio County Sheriff to serve the unexpired term and accepted his official bond.
The court moved, seconded and approved the appointment; commissioners then accepted Salinas’s official bond for the remainder of the term. Former Judge Luna administered the oath of office. Salinas stated, “I, Pedro Peter Salinas, do solemnly swear… I will faithfully execute the duties of the office,” before participants offered prayers and brief remarks honoring the late Sheriff Mike Morris.
The appointment followed a motion by Commissioner Martinez, which was seconded and approved by the court. No roll-call vote totals were recorded on the record; the minutes record only that the motions passed.
No additional conditions or deadlines for the appointee were specified during the meeting. The court moved on to subsequent agenda items after the oath was administered.
