Summary
The Commissioner’s Court introduced Martin A. Longoria, effective Nov. 10, 2015, reviewed his military service and unanimously approved him for the county’s Veteran Services Officer post; Longoria pledged to assist veterans across the county.
At its Nov. 18 meeting, the Nueces County Commissioner’s Court introduced Martin A. Longoria as the county’s newly hired Veteran Services Officer, effective Nov. 10, 2015. A court presenter read Longoria’s biography, citing his education at Park University, prior enlisted service, commission as an officer through ROTC, deployments including Operation Iraqi Freedom and Bosnia, and military awards such as the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
Longoria addressed the court, thanked members for the opportunity and pledged to devote time and effort to assisting veterans in Nueces County. "I just want to say thank you for the opportunity and we're going to move forward to help all the vets in Nueces County," he said. "If possible, everything, time and effort will be put in to assisting the veterans because they deserve it and we owe it to them." The court responded by noting he was unanimously approved.
Court members asked brief follow-ups about his service history (including time as an enlisted soldier and promotion decisions). The transcript records the court’s unanimous approval language but does not include a formal roll-call vote or a recorded tally in the excerpt.
