TTA activity description

I'm the Navarro County Judge, H. M. Davenport, Jr.

In visiting with a former Sheriff of Nacogdoches County, also in Texas, it was brought to my attention that the Bureau of Justice Assistance provided a service when requested to aid small counties such as our in making sure the Justice system was performing as it should. My understanding is it was done through evaluation of the processing of defendants from arrest through conviction and final disposition.

Our problem seems to be very similar to that described in Nacogdoches County, in that we have a recent increase in inmates in our 290+ bed jail over the past few years, but especially the past year.

We simply have not been able to put a finger on the exact problem, whether it be a sign of the times or a deficiency somewhere in processing.

We hold as many court sessions and trials as we possibly can and the number still continues to grow.

So, if possible that you do that evaluation and make recommendations could you please respond to this email with specific directions we need to do to engage your services.

If you do not do this, but know what department does, please advise of that as well.

Thanks you so much for your time!

Sincerely,

H. M. Davenport, Jr.
