Brown County Commissioners voted unanimously Monday morning to appoint Ted Perez to the position of Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace.  Perez has been employed by the Brown County Sheriff’s Department for the past five years, serving as a member of courthouse security.  Prior to that he was on the Brownwood PD reserve force.  Perez retired from the Lubbock Police Department as a Patrol Sergeant.  He will take the place of Jim Cavanaugh who is scheduled to retire in June.  Precinct 4 Commissioner, Larry Traweek, said there were five applicants for the JP position, each very good.
