GOP Precinct and County Conventions Set for March 28 in DeWitt County

News Release | March 27, 2026

CUERO, TX –The Republican Party of Texas is preparing for its 2026 convention cycle, and DeWitt County voters will have several opportunities this month to participate in the party’s grassroots process. Local GOP leaders announced that all DeWitt County precincts will hold their precinct conventions on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 10 a.m. at the Cuero VFW, followed by the County Convention at 2 p.m. the same day.

According to party materials, precinct conventions are the first step in the Republican convention structure. Any registered voter who has affiliated with the Republican Party—either by voting in the primary or by taking an oath of affiliation—is eligible to attend. Participants may introduce and vote on resolutions and elect delegates to the county‑level convention.

The county convention, also scheduled for March 28, allows elected delegates to consider committee reports, vote on resolutions, and select delegates and alternates to the state convention. Local party officials emphasize that these meetings shape the rules and platform positions that will guide the party for the next two years.

The Republican Party of Texas describes its convention system as a grassroots process in which delegates help define the party’s beliefs, adopt rules, and elect leadership. Delegates chosen at the county level will have the opportunity to attend the 2026 Texas GOP State Convention, scheduled for June 11–13 in Houston, with committee meetings beginning June 8.

Party organizers say the convention process is open to any Republican voter willing to participate. “Delegates play an instrumental role in shaping the direction of the party,” the informational materials state.

For questions about the DeWitt County conventions, local organizers list Judy Mazak, Precinct 301 Chair/Secretary, as the point of contact.

CUERO, Texas — The Stevenson Unit is proud to welcome two new correctional officers to its ranks following their successful completion of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Pre‑Service Training Academy.

The Pre‑Service Academy provides rigorous instruction in security procedures, ethics, communication, defensive tactics, and the daily responsibilities of correctional officers.

NORMA JANE “NONIE” FARR – March 17, 1941 to March 5, 2026

Norma Jane “Nonie” Farr, 84, passed away peacefully on March 17, 2026. She was born on March 17, 1941, to the late Ernest Weldon and Lois Mildred Cogburn Farr. Raised in Fort Worth, she remained forever proud of being a “Cowtown girl.”

Nonie graduated from Amon Carter High School in 1959 and, in 1961, began the career she had always dreamed of—serving as a flight attendant for American Airlines. Over the course of her remarkable forty‑two‑year career, she was based in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Dallas–Fort Worth. She witnessed many historic moments in aviation, including the events of 9/11, but often spoke most fondly of her service in the late 1960s flying Military Airlift Command (MAC) missions. Aboard 707 charter flights, she and her crew transported troops between major U.S. hubs and Pacific bases, including Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa. From there, they ferried young servicemen in and out of Da Nang, Vietnam—passengers she always considered the most precious of her career.

After retiring from American Airlines in 2002, Nonie embraced life at her beloved farm in South Texas. There, surrounded by the land she loved, she created some of her most memorable artwork and enjoyed some of her happiest years.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernie and Lois; her cherished MaMaw Farr; and dear friends Sandra Pullin and Lynn Morgan.

Nonie is survived by her devoted partner of forty‑two years, Trish Griffith; her sister, Linda Croker (Gary); nephew, Darren Heppel; niece, Jerrilynn Heppel Lowenthal; the Pullin/Thomas family; and many other relatives and friends who will miss her deeply.

A celebration of Nonie’s life was held at Freund Funeral Home on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. A private burial will follow at a later date at La Rosa Cemetery in Woodsboro.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Home Instead, Hospice of South Texas Dornburg Center of Compassion in Victoria, and Advanced Home Health of Hallettsville for their exceptional care and kindness.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of South Texas Dornburg Center of Compassion.
