Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Oldest Deputy Still Laying Down the Law: "He is thought to be the oldest law enforcement officer on active patrol in Texas, if not the entire US.

Harris Co. Sheriff’s Lt. Tom Morgan is almost 91 years old.

And yet, every weekend you’ll find him patrolling with the Harris Co. Marine Division, issuing tickets – and sometimes warnings – on the San Jacinto River or Lake Houston.

Morgan is part of the Sheriff’s Reserve program. He doesn’t get a paycheck; he volunteers his time."
