Eagle Pass — Citing an “exciting new opportunity” state representative Poncho Nevarez last Friday announced his retirement from the Texas house of representatives.
“Following close to a decade of loyal service, I’ve been given an exciting new opportunity to secure generational wealth for my family.”
Nevarez, who currently chairs the Texas house’s Homeland Security committee, was known as a fierce opponent of Border Security during his time in the legislature.
Nevarez is expected to take over the Eagle Pass to Austin route.
