BCDLA meeting on October 24th at noon

As a reminder, please don’t forget about the next meeting of the Bell County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.  Our guest speaker will be Bell County jail administrator, Major Bob Patterson. He will discuss the new Bell County jail, the new jail procedures (you will not want to miss this), and anything else we want to know. He has said that the floor will be open to any and all questions about the jail and how it operates, and anything else jail related.

The meeting is scheduled for noon on Friday, October 24, 2008, at the Dead Fish Grill in Belton. The meeting ends when we’re done asking Maj. Patterson questions.

This is a great opportunity to learn how things work at the jail and how things will work at the new jail. It is also a chance for us to let the people in charge over there know what concerns us.

The meeting is two weeks away, so there is plenty of time to reschedule your jail pleas for that afternoon or plea those jail birds out early. You will not want to miss this meeting!

Everyone is invited, and strongly encouraged to be there. As criminal defense attorneys, we need to present a united front in these situations so that those in positions of power will understand that we are a force to be reckoned with. United we stand, divided we fall, folks. Please do not let your fellow defense attorneys down, we need each and every one of you there!
