Peters candidate for judge seat
Houston attorney Michael
Allen Peters is a judicial can-
didate for the 179th Criminal
District Court in the March 8
primary.
MICHAEL ALLEN PETERS
Peters, a Republican, says he
thinks there is a lot that can be
done to improve the 179th
district court, and he favors
more efficient courtroom ad-
ministration and tougher
sentences for criminals, he says.
“Punishment is supposed to be
a deterrent,” he says. He quotes
unofficial statistics that show
some criminals, with early
parole and other special cir-
cumstances, may actually only
serve one month for every year
of a sentence.
Peters says he hopes to curb
that trend with stiffer penalties,
especially for repeat offenders.
He also would like to see more
involvement of youthful of-
fenders in community pro-
grams.
Docket control is another area
Peters says can be improved. He
says most judges see a case for
the first time the morning it is
tried, and time could be saved if
they would review cases briefly
beforehand.
Gilbreath seeks Senate post
Texas needs another conser-
vative Republican in the U.S.
Senate, Pat Gilbreath said
Thursday on a campaign swing
through Baytown on behalf of
her husband, Wes Gilbreath.
She described her favorite
candidate as a problem-solver
who doesn’t believe money can
solve everything.
“Let’s face it,” Mrs. Gilbreath
said, “Washington needs
businessmen up there — not
politicians.”
A business executive and civic
leader in Houston, Gilbreath is
seeking public office for the first
time in the GOP primary Tues-
day.
Supporting a balanced budget,
he is for tighter federal spending
and against more federal taxes.
“Let’s get the deficit down,”
Mrs. Gilbreath said. “We’ve got
to do something about the
overspending.”
She said her husband wants to
give the president the power of
line-item veto on budget mat-
ters.
“Oct. 19 was a warning to the
people of the U.S. that we better
Curl candidate for constable
In the Democratic primary
Tuesday, Jim Curl is seeking
election to the position of con-
stable of Precinct 6, Chambers
County.
He previously served as con-
stable from June 12,1978, to Jan.
1,1985, in Precinct 4 and 6, in ad-
dition to serving as a full-time
law enforcement officer with
Chambers and Liberty County
for more than four years.
Curl has held a commission
with the Chambers County
Sheriff’s Department and for the
past three years as a deputy
sheriff. He received his state
certificate from the Harris
County Sheriff’s Academy in
1974 and has a permanent
license.
Curl said, “I am employed by
Mobay Corp., which is located
within the boundaries of
Precinct 6 and I have always
been allowed to respond to an
emergency situation, even while
at work.”
Curl emphasized the im-
portance of patrolling

CHARLES BRACK
County Attorney
Chambers County
Super Tuesday
March 8th
...a young,
energetic and
dedicated lawyer
for the county’s
future...
Your support and vote is appreciated.
Political ad paid by Charles Brack Campaign Fund, 9235 Hwy 146, Mt. Belvieu, Tx._
Eugene T. Jenson, who has
served as the county attorney in
Chambers County 34 years, is
seeking re-election.
Jenson has been a resident of
Chambers County since 1932,
residing first in Mont Belvieu,
then in Winnie, and in Anahuac
for the past 34 years.
He is a graduate of Barbers
Hill High School, studied at Lee
College and the University of
Hotiston and graduated from
South Texas College of Law in
1951.
Jenson is licensed to practice
law before all State Courts, in-
cluding the Texas Supreme
Court, and has tried cases in fed-
eral district court as well as the
5th Circuit United States Court
of Appeals. He is eligible for
membership in the College of the
State Bar of Texas,.
Jenson said, “During my ten-
ure of office, I have diligently
and faithfully served the citizens
of Chambers County. It has been
and will continue to be my policy
to help people, and try to treat
everyone with courtesy and
respect.”
During his time in office as the
county attorney of Chambers
County, Jenson has assisted
Commissioners Court in con-
ducting the county’s business
and has been the legal counsel
for the county and state in civil
matters. Also, he has been the
chief prosecutor in crinfingl
cases for all the justice of the
peace courts in the county, and
in the county court.
A case might take 30 minutes
instead of all morning, “just by
taking it home the day before
and doing our homework,” says
Peters. “A judge doesn’t have to
look at a case for the first time
that morning.”
Peters received a B.A. from
St. Thomas University in 1967
and graduated with a law degree
from the University of Houston
Law School in 1974.
He has.argued a case before
the U.S. Supreme Court, a feat
he says only about a half of 1 per-
cent of all lawyers can claim.
His background, including ap-
pellate and trial experience
through almost 15 years as a
trial attorney, qualify him for
the judicial position, Peters
says.
“I can be fair and sensitive,
but I can also render justice,”
says Peters. “I want to maintain
the quality of (the 179th district)
court.”
do something,” said Mrs.
Gilbreath. “I’m even hearing
this from Democrats — that we
have to get the deficit down. ’ ’
__ One way to control spending,
she said, would be to get rid of
superfluous items in the
budgets. As an example, she
mentioned a budget item for the
study of wildflowers.
Mrs. Gilbreath lashed out
against bureaucratic waste, say-
ing that only $12 out of every $100
actually goes to welfare reci-
pients while the rest goes to the
bureaucrats.
and being responsive to all calls
for assistance by citizens or
other law enforcement agencies.
“This is not a promise, but a
statement of fact of the way this
office was run during my six and
one-half years as constable,”
Curl said. “If returned to this of-
fice I will provide the same type
of service you were used to dur-
ing my six and one-half years as
your constable.”
Curl and his wife, Glenda,
have two children, Jennifer, 18,
and Bruce, 16.

Attention!
Chambers County Voting Precincts 5-8-11
My name is Larry Stratmann and I am your constable here in Pet. 6.1 live at 7910 Bayside Dr. with my wife, Joy and son
Matt. I have two grown daughters; Stephanie, a member of the U.S. Air Force Law Enforcement team ond Stacey, who is
married and living in Cuero, Texas. My family and I attend Missouri St. Church of Christ where I hove taught Bible in both
teenage and adult classes. T _..............................................
When I first took office I drove thru Pet. 6 talking with residents and getting their opinion on the best time to patrol their
streets and check on their home. Everyone I spoke to said that they would like for me to watch their home while they were
away ot their jobs during the daytime. Most of our precinct is rural area and most of the burglaries and thefts occur during
the daylight hours.
When I campaigned for the constable's job in Pet. 6 three years ago I said that I would bring professionalism to the office
of Constable Pet. 6.1 feel I have done this by working closely with Local, State, and out of state law enforcement officials, at-
torneys and Judges, by working closely with the youth of our county andby becoming better educated. I hove attended and
graduated in the top ten percent of classes in both civil and juvenile Low. These schools were sponsored by the Texas
Juvenile Justice System at Southwest Texas State University.
These schools consisted of Basic Juvenile Law, Basic Juvenile officer training school, Child Abuse identification & In-
tervention and three schools on Civil Process, which I attended but my opponent was not there.
I have been a Permanent fixture ot J.P. 6 Court (Judge Cryer) as court boliff. I have assisted Judge Cryer in both civil and
criminal court during the last three years and os many of you know, one of my jobs is in selecting jurors for J.P. Court.
As your constable, I have mode over 100 arrests, both Misd. and Felony arrests. In the last 3 years I have apprehended
burglars in houses in both Abbe and Staples Addition. Both of these incidents happened during the daytime. I hove made
dog calls along with theft colls, disturbances and prowler calls in Pet. 6 both during the day and at night. I have driven over
150,000 miles potrolling your roads and streets during the last 3 years. I have assisted local, state and out of state officers in
making both Misd. and Felony arrests. About 90% of my patrol time has been during the "Daylight" hours when most of
you are at work ond oway from your homes. During these hours I have made numerous arrests, both criminol and civil. I pur-
chased a Beeper, like the one Judge Cryer uses, in case I'm not in my car and my secretary or tH§ sheriff needed to get in con-
tact with me. I have made more arrests in a thirty day period than my opponent hos in his 6Vz years in office. I have also
assisted in Fire and Ambulance Emergency calls both day and night.
The revenue from my office in the last three years has greatly increased since I have been constable, both from civil ond
criminal cases. In 1987 alone I served 130 papers. My opponent said that in his 6% years in off ice there were months that he
did not serve any papers ot all. As of 1 -1 -88 I also serve papers that ore moiled to me from the sheriff's office.
During my tenure as your constable, I have worked closely with local school officials in assisting with security at school
events, both during ond after school hours (both in town and out of town). I have assisted in Truancy cases and other pro-
blems that have come up at school. I have assisted in judging the annual "Bus Rodeo" along with assisting with the local
track meets. I have a Firm tut friendly relationship with the students at all the Barbers Hill schools both during and after
school hours. *
If re-elected your Constable I will continue to work hard to make Pet. 6 a safe ond better place to live. I will continue to
work in a professional and fair manner with all the people I come in contact with, especially our youth. I will continue to
patrol our roads and attend schools to better educate myself as a law enforcement officer.
Your yote on March 8,1988 will be appreciated.
/ am Writing to thank you for your assistance on my igation with the Domingo Sanchez case.
It is very rewording in this day and time to find a Law Enforcement Officer that will go out of his way to help. If the State of
Texas could use your professionalism as an example to train officers it would be an asset to thefield of Low Enforcement.
I ve advised other professionals in my line of work should they need assistance in Chambers County, especially Precinct 6,
to contact your office. It is a standard practice for Legal Investigators to advise other investigators when they receive
cooperation from a Low Enforcement agency.
The people of Chambers County and the residents of Precinct 6 are well protecteeI and assisted as long as you are Com
Again let me thank you for all your help and assistance. Keep up the fine work. Sincerely,
David Wood

Please consider this letter as our expression of thank you and confidence in Constable Stratmann.
On many occasions, we have had to request the services of Constable Stratmann to assist us in locating and effecting ser-
vice on a defendant. He has performed each occasion with dedication and dispatch. On at least one occasion, he has pa-
tiently and steadfastly out-maneuvered a defendant that was evading service from one precinct to another for at least three
months. „
We recognize that a Constable's Office is a very busy place, and that while "personalized" service is desired by all per-
sons who require their services, that it is usually not possible. Because of this fad and others, we especially appreciate the
dedication to service exhibited by Constable Stratmann. He is a credit to the legal system and an asset to Precinct 6.
With warm regards,
Sherry B. Angelo
Woodland Academy has been in operation for the past two years in Chambers County. Constable Stratman has been very
helpful when we needed any assistance concerning our students. When we studied Fire Prevention he sent out a fire truck
and on ambulance during our fire drill. The children learned what to do during an actual fire. The children filed out and
firemen in full gear came into the school to "find a child that was lost." We had him hide in the restroom before the fire drill
started. When the firemen brought him out and pretended to administer first aide the children were really impressed. Also
when we studied Community Helpers Mr. Stratman sent out a police car for the children to tour and gave a lecture.to our
students in our library. This assistance tells me that he cares about our community.
Sincerely
Sallie Doni-!
