“The Texas Commission on Jail Standards wishes to acknowledge the excellent work of the Titus County Sheriff's Office with a Certificate of Compliance for the Titus County Jail. 

“The most recent inspection of your facility on February 28, 2017 by Texas Commission on Jail Standards Inspector Fred St. Amant has demonstrated that your facility is in compliance with Texas Minimum Jail Standards. The Certificate of Compliance demonstrates your outstanding leadership and the diligent work of your staff in complying with minimum jail standards. 

“In addition, this achievement is a direct result of your office's commitment to excellence and is an example of dedication and professionalism in maintaining a safe, secure, and sanitary facility. 

“Providing the essential budgetary support for jail operations is also imperative to achieving compliance, so let me also congratulate the Titus County Commissioners' Court for their vital support of jail operations.
