Judge Plaster also released a statement regarding the VZC Commissioners Court denying help for the JP Pct. 2 court.

“Just want to share with the Citizens of Van Zandt County, the Commissioners Court denied me on help for my Court. Therefore, there will be times that the office will be closed. So sorry for this inconvenience but I have statue and rules as a judge that I have to follow. Next year, the court will be facing the

possibility of the legislature rising the limits for the court on small claims and debt claims. This will put a much bigger load on the court.  I ask that if you have any questions concerning this, you are more than welcome to stop by for a visit, or call me. I will be glad to visit you about this. When I was running for this position, I knew that the court needed more help, and I stress that all I could. I am looking forward to servicing the citizens of Van Zandt County. My phone number is 903-567-6569, I welcome any calls or visits,” said Judge Plaster.
