Thanking Ray Helm for time as Constable

I was shocked and saddened to read that Constable Ray Helm was resigning. I don’t know what he did to prompt an investigation by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, but I know about Helm’s reputation among Wimberley residents: If you want a quick response requiring law enforcement, call Ray Helm. I saw this opinion many times on the community forum platform, Nextdoor.

In a time and culture where law enforcement ranks are sometimes populated with bullies and racists, Helm stood out as one of the good guys, one of the best. In fact, law enforcement may not be the best fit for someone who cares deeply for the citizens, though I hope that isn’t so. I wish him Godspeed in finding a career where how he treats people is more important than administrative minutia. He will be missed.

Peace,
