Tyra said that on “Go Texan
Day” she allows office workers
to skirt the dress code and wear
jeans and bolo ties.
“One day a year is enough,”
she said. “We have a lot of
work to do. We can’t take the
day off and play because the
Rockets are playing that night.”
“This has basically been the
final straw,” the employee said.
“We just don’t understand. As
citizens, we need something to
be excited about.”
But standards are standards,
Ms. Tyra said.
“These people are paid to
come to work,” she said. “If
you do not want to go by the
dress code, you don’t get paid.”

Tyra’s answer was no, but she
said employees could decorate
their offices to show support.
“We have to pay attention to
the work,” she said.
One employee in district
clerk’s office, who spoke only
out of anonymity, said she was
frustrated and under the
impression that Lindsay was

County Judge Jon Lindsay
has issued a proclamation to all
department heads allowing
county employees to wear their
red and gold today in support
of the Rockets, who play the
New York Knicks for the NBA
championship tonight.
But even the proclamation
and the excitement of a possi-

enough to persuade District
Clerk Katherine Tyra to let her
employees have a break from
her strict dress code.

must and pants a no-no. Men
are expected to wear dress
slacks, long-sleeved shirts and
ties.
We were willing to wear
blazers over our T-shirts and
ties for the guys,” the employee
said. “(Tyra) has an extremely
strict dress code, which is fine,
