So not a sherrif, but a sherrif's deputy. And he got an appointment, or was hired, 21 years ago as an investigator for the insurance commisioner. Well, 21 years ago, Texas was solid democrat. So that tells me that he's had democrat connections for quite a while.

Okey, dokey. Let's do a little figuring here on Mr. Gibson. He's 76 now. He was retired from the state so probably took his retirement in 1991 at age 62. Worked for the state 21 years - 1970 to 1991. Took his LE retirement at 20 years of service - 1950 to 1970. Entered LE around age 20.

He's voted RAT since at least 1990 and TX was RAT territory back in his day. Seems he's had high aspirations, so why hasn't he run for Sheriff or has he? I'd like to know more about Mr. Chatty.
