State and Federal Representation
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) operates the Laredo Parole Office in Laredo.
There is an office too on Arkansas Avenue of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. At the previous location of the commission on Casa Blanca Road, a tragedy occurred on December 5, 2011, when a 38-year-old woman, Rachelle Grimmer, mortally wounded her two children and then committed suicide after she was initially denied food stamp, now Lone Star Card, benefits. Grimmer took two social workers hostage before a supervisor, Robert Reyes, offered himself in place of the employees. The Grimmer tragedy was voted the No. 1 news story in Laredo for 2011 by the Laredo Morning Times.

“Wags try to invent new stories to tell about the legislature, and end by telling the old one about the senator who explained his unaccustomed possession of a large roll of bills by saying that someone pushed it over the transom while he slept.
