(Seguin) — The Guadalupe County Commissioners Court has appointed a new County Court at Law Judge #2. After interviewing and deliberating its list of candidates behind closed doors, the court on Tuesday reconvened in open session to appoint Kirsten Legore to the unexpired term of current Judge Frank Follis who has chosen to retire.
Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says the appointment was made after a very thorough review of candidates.
“We’ve gone through a process of getting applicants, interested individuals to submit their applications, questionnaires. We reviewed those and selected a handful of applicants and attorneys to interview. We’ve gone through the interviews so what we did, went back into executive session, had further conversations,” said Kutscher. “I think we had a situation where we had nine interested candidates and interviewed five — people that have all been involved and active in our community, experienced and all of them could have done the job. I really do appreciate their commitment to the community and their willingness to serve. It’s a difficult position for the court to be in. This doesn’t happen very often. One that we took extremely serious and again, just want to say thank you to the applicants that did take the time to show their interest,” said Kutscher.
