The Caldwell County Commissioners Court held a special meeting Monday to officially approve the results of the Nov. 6 general election, which will result in changes in Precincts 1 and 2 and at county judge.
But shortly after commencing, the meeting quickly turned into an unofficial going-away party for Pct. 1 Commissioner Terry Wright, who was appointed last December by County Judge Ken Schawe when Hoppy Haden stepped down to run for what turned out to be a successful campaign for Caldwell county judge.
Wright, the son of former Caldwell County Judge H.T. Wright, ran in an attempt to keep his seat, but lost to 2005 Texas A&M graduate B.J. Westmoreland in the March primaries. Westmoreland eventually won the chair, defeating Ida Reyna-Magallanez in the general election.
