If the people of that jurisdiction want to start looking like a Mexican county, cool beans!
The Sheriff can trade in her cruiser for one of these:

Never forget, they threw a Christian woman in jail for not immediately disregarding the actual laws on the books after a Supreme Court ruling in favor of homo-pretend marriage.
JAIL for her! JAIL! Think it threw.
Why can she not be arrested by federal agents for breaking federal law????
Never say never.
Greg Abbot was our Attorney Gerneral before becoming governor. He is very smart. Very impressive.
But with previous governors like Rick Perry, George Bush and (shudder!) Ma Richards - it’s not that hard to be better than our recent average.
Colonel Travis and Stephen F. Austin would be disgusted by this lawless behavior.
No doubt Travis County will respond by indicting Abbott on some trumped up charge.
Good point, they will probably bring back that POS Earle as a special prosecutor.
Insurrection must be stopped at the beginning. After things get beyond a few days, it becomes harder.
Difficult, she’s elected. Sheriff is a constitutional position, fraught with politics, but very powerful with regard to interaction with state and federal law enforcement.

Who authorizes counties in Texas?
I live in a county in Alabama that was created by the Alabama legislature from parts of existing counties in 1866 (Elmore). Other counties were merged together/apart in different ways over the years.
The Texas governor and legislature should merge Travis county with other more conservative counties or gerrymander new borders to force her out.
If she cannot be fired because she is an elected official, just arrest her.
No more Mr. Nice Guy....
She’s elected as highest ranking law enforcement officer in the county
Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis in Kentucky certainly was.
Just keeping Austin weird.
Now, if Abbott would go after the University of Texas.
Gov. Goodhair Perry. Too many FReepers still don’t understand what a RINO he is.
Ma Richards. I used to know a dyke who got into a physical fight with Ann’s girlfriend. Yeah, she swung that direction.
Exactly.......
No, Austin has too large a population. Better to just wall it in to keep them contained.
Sheriffs are elected officials on their right.
So what can the governor do to her?
He can’t fire her.
He might be able to have the state cops arrest her?

Umm......
Her actions are ultra vires, and she needs to be sued and held PERSONALLY accountable for each action for which she broke the law. Sue these people into poverty, and take Austin with it.
