Hardin County court appoints Lisa Nix to Sexual Assault Response Team
Summary
At its Dec. 30 special meeting, the Hardin County Commissioners Court approved the appointment of Lisa Nix, listed in the agenda as HCCVAC interim director, to the county Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) to replace Jennifer Walters; the appointment was requested by Sheriff Mark Davis and passed 3–0 with two commissioners absent.
Hardin County Judge Wayne McDaniel and two commissioners approved the appointment of Lisa Nix to the county Sexual Assault Response Team at a special meeting on Dec. 30, 2024.
The court voted 3–0 to appoint Mrs. Lisa Nix, identified in the meeting agenda as the HCCVAC interim director, to replace Mrs. Jennifer Walters on the SART. The appointment was presented at the request of Hon. Sheriff Mark Davis, who is listed in the agenda as SART chairman. Commissioners Chris Kirkendall (Pct. 2) and Ernie Koch (Pct. 4) were absent; the motion was made by Commissioner L.W. "Nubbin" Cooper Jr. and seconded by Commissioner Amanda Young.
Why it matters: SARTs coordinate law enforcement, victim advocates and forensic services for sexual-assault survivors. The agenda named Nix as the HCCVAC interim director; the transcript does not expand the HCCVAC acronym or indicate whether Nix addressed the court at the special meeting.
What the court did: The court recorded the motion, second, and a vote in favor by Judge McDaniel, Commissioner Cooper and Commissioner Young. The court’s minutes list the action as "approved." The agenda lists Mrs. Jennifer Walters as the person Nix is replacing but does not provide further explanation of the vacancy.
Next steps: The appointment was approved on the record during the special session; the agenda does not specify an effective date or further steps such as oath administration or formal onboarding.
The court adjourned after the vote.
