Speaking to a Veterans Day audience at Texas Southmost College, the chief justice in waiting on the 13th Texas Court of Appeals urged people to remember the support provided to veterans by their families.

Justice Jaime Tijerina, re-elected last week to the Corpus Christi-based 13th Court of Appeals, said his wife proudly displays a certificate of appreciation at her workplace from the Department of the Army recognizing Tijerina’s service in the U.S. Army.

Tijerina is from McAllen, was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan, and rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel.
