BUCKHOLTS, Texas (KWTX) - Milam County Sheriff Mike Clore on Friday announced his office will take over policing duties in the town of Buckholts.

According to Clore, the Buckholts Police Department had its authority to make appointments revoked by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE).

Clore explained this means the local police department lost its legal ability to hire, commission or place licensed personnel on its staff.
