Erik Villarreal Officer Alfonso Segura Webb County Constable Precinct #1 Chief Deputy Claudia Cantu Deputy Andy Reyes Deputy Jesse Gamino Deputy Gabriel Martinez #CommunityPartnership #LaredoISD #SchoolSafety #FamilyEngagement #RyanElementary

Laredo ISD Special Education Department hosted the 2026 Special Olympics Texas Area 21 opening ceremony and games at historic Shirley Field.
