Madame District Attorney

Jennifer Tharp sworn in as Comal County's District Attorney, the first woman in the County's history to do so

This morning my good friend and fellow co-worker, Jennifer Tharp will take the oath of office to become the new Comal County Criminal District Attorney.  I predict her term will be very successful.

Of some note, as well, is that she will be Comal County's first female Criminal District Attorney.

Man o' Law , while not yet decrepit, though some may argue that point, comes from an era where women were generally the secretaries and not the professionals, so I am happy to note that the glass ceiling has had another chunk knocked out of it.

I also would like you to take note that all of the contiguous counties along I-35 from San Antonio to Austin, Bexar, Guadalupe, Comal, Hayes and Travis counties, now all have women District Attorneys.

Susan Reed - Bexar County


Heather Miller - Guadalupe County


Jennifer Tharp - Comal County


Sherri Tibbe - Hays County


Rosemary Lehmberg - Travis County

Congratulations to all of you!
