Summary
Sheriff presented the 2025 racial profiling report showing 2,929 traffic stops with a racial/ethnic breakdown and stated the sheriff's office received no racial profiling complaints in 2025; the court accepted the report for filing.
The Sheriff presented the Henderson County Sheriff's Office 2025 racial profiling report, noting the office conducted 2,929 traffic stops last year. The Sheriff gave a racial breakdown he reported as roughly 78% white/Caucasian, 12% Hispanic and about 8% Black or African American. He said 95 of the stops received written warnings and nearly 2% resulted in citations; some stops led to arrests and custodial transport to the county jail.
On the record the Sheriff said the office had not received any racial profiling complaints in 2025 and that he has not seen a complaint during his 10‑year tenure. Commissioners had no questions, and the court accepted the report for filing purposes only by unanimous vote.
The filing is part of the county’s mandated submission to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and will be kept on county record as required.
