Vaughan running for constable 4 re-election

Constable Brian Vaughan has announced his candidacy for re-election as Constable of Precinct 4. Vaughan has served in this capacity since he was first elected in 2016.

Before being elected, Vaughan began his career in law enforcement with the Texas Department of Public Safety in 1986. During his career with DPS, he served as a traffic enforcement officer, a criminal investigator, protection officer for the governor of Texas, an internal affairs lieutenant, and a polygraph examiner.

In 2016, Vaughan retired from the Department of Public Safety as lieutenant in the Office of the Inspector General, and in June of 2016 he began serving the residents of Precinct 4 in Kendall County.

Vaughan is married to Letitia Vaughan who was an elementary school teacher in the Comfort Schools for over 20 years. Letitia is now a librarian at Medina ISD. Constable Vaughan has two children and five grandchildren; his son is now a sergeant with the Texas Department of Public Safety, and his daughter is a stay-at-home mom who also helps her husband with a real estate business.

Over the last seven years, some of Vaughan’s duties as constable have been as the chief process server of the Justice Court, serving a variety of judicial processes and notices. Vaughan also serves process for county and district courts, as well as for the attorney general’s office. In addition to this, Vaughan provides personal security for Judge Pressler and the Precinct 4 Justice Court.

He is also responsible for the safekeeping of all property seized under the authority of the Justice Court and has exercised a wide range of criminal law enforcement authority, including traffic enforcement, community crime prevention, and conducting civil and criminal investigations.

Vaughan said he cherishes the community he raised his kids in and has remained active in his community. Every summer before the kids return to school from summer break, Vaughan collects backpacks to be filled with school supplies for kids, to help alleviate the financial strain on parents that comes with the beginning of school each year.

Vaughan volunteers with the San Antonio Livestock Exposition and Rodeo and is member of its Western Art Committee, which recognizes the outstanding talents of high school students in the South Texas area. This committee annually awards college scholarship money to students whose submitted Western art was judged as a grand, reserve, or art class champion during the annual San Antonio Livestock Exposition and Rodeo’s Western art judging contest.

In past years the scholarship money awarded by this committee has ranged from $4,000 to over $20,000 per student. Art students from Boerne High School, Comfort High School, Geneva School, as well as several home-schooled students have received scholarship money for the artwork they’ve submitted.

Vaughan views his work with the San Antonio Livestock Exposition and Rodeo as another way he can help the youth in Kendall County attend college and fulfill their dreams.

Vaughan is an active member of Comfort Baptist Church and currently serves the church as their worship leader and chairman of the Church Council. Vaughan is also an ordained deacon but is currently not active in that role.

The Precinct 4 Constable’s Office is a supporter of many nonprofit organizations in Kendall County. Vaughan throughout the year assists with fundraisers and other activities by providing security. This includes security for the Comfort Volunteer Fire Department and the Waring Volunteer Fire Department, and he has also assisted the Comfort Golden Age Center with Meals on Wheels.

Vaughan considers it a privilege to serve the citizens of Kendall County in the capacity of Constable and is seeking your support to serve another four-year term. The primary election is set for March 5.
