I wrote up these letters. We can email them and also send them certified mail for legal purposes. Here is who we should mail and email them them to where they do anything or not we are documenting and giving everyone notice. 

Where to Send It (each has a role)

Here’s the right routing list, based on Texas jurisdiction:

1. Hays County Judge (Precinct-Level or County Judge)

• Purpose: County judges oversee nuisance-abatement actions and direct the sheriff’s office to investigate ongoing public-safety complaints.

• Send a printed, signed copy to:

  • Hon. Ruben Becerra, Hays County Judge111 E. San Antonio St., Suite 300San Marcos, TX 78666judge.becerra@co.hays.tx.us

2. Hays County Sheriff’s Office

• Purpose: Law enforcement record + possible referral to the County Attorney for a Common Nuisance suit (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Ch. 125).

• Address to Sheriff Mike HipolitoHays County Sheriff’s Office810 S. Stagecoach Trail, San Marcos, TX 78666 sheriffsoffice@co.hays.tx.us

Attach detailed email—it helps them escalate it from “routine noise calls” to a patterned nuisance case.

3. Hays County Attorney’s Office

• Purpose: They are the prosecuting authority for civil nuisance actions under Chapter 125.

• Address:Hays County Government Center712 S. Stagecoach Trail, Suite 2057San Marcos, TX 78666Email: attorney@co.hays.tx.us

This is the most important legal recipient—they can sue to abate or close the property if illegal activity or public disturbance is persistent.

4. City of San Marcos Mayor / Council (optional)

Even though you’re outside city limits, they sometimes coordinate pressure with the university and county.

• Jane Hughson, Mayor of San Marcos630 E. Hopkins St., San Marcos, TX 78666mayor@sanmarcostx.gov

5. Texas State University – Dean of Students & Fraternity/Sorority Life

You already have contact with Bob Dudolski, but also include:

• Dean of Students Office: dos@txstate.edu

• Phi Kappa Tau National Office: marnold@phikappatau.org

6. Local and Regional Media

Use media strategically, not emotionally. Stick to facts and safety.

Mainstream:

• San Marcos Daily Record — news@sanmarcosrecord.com

• Austin American-Statesman (Community) — letters@statesman.com

• KVUE / KXAN / FOX 7 Austin News Tips: tips@kvue.com / reportit@kxan.com / fox7news@foxtv.com

Independent:

• The San Marcos Corridor News — news@smcorridornews.com

• The University Star (TSU student paper) — news@universitystar.com

If you prefer “underground press” exposure, The Rag Blog or Texas Observer sometimes covers civic abuse/noise/fraternity issues—but start local.

7. Optional Legal Counsel

If you want private representation for an injunction:

• Search for local attorneys who handle nuisance or land-use disputes (keywords: “Hays County property dispute attorney”).

• They’ll know how to prepare a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and Petition for Permanent Injunction citing the same facts documented.

Best recipients for email copies:

• County Judge Ruben Becerra → judge.becerra@co.hays.tx.us
