providing suitable sites in support of a TDC
Maximum Security facility were presented by

to a panel consisting of elected officials from
AACOG, the City of San Antonio and Bexar County
as well as members of the Legislature, and to
support the choice of the panel , and
WHEREAS, the process did select the Karnes County
proposal as the one best suited to represent
this region and to be selected by TDC as the
site of a TDC maximum security facility, and
the City of Dilley as the preferred site for a
medium to minimum security facility, and
WHEREAS, in order that this site be selected, it will
require the combined efforts of local
government elected officials and staff, and
full support by the area 's legislative
delegation, now
