Angelina County Commissioners may name a new sheriff Tuesday during the 10 a.m. commissioners' court meeting.

Sheriff Greg Sanches retired at the end of 2022 with two years left in his term. He won reelection in 2020 against Bryan Holley, who is one of three applicants for his now vacant seat. The other applicants are sheriff’s office chief deputy Mark McLin and Pct. 1 Constable Tom Selman.
