Born and raised in Polk County\, he has been a resident of Houston County for 45 years and previously served as Houston County Judge.  He also has ties to Nacogdoches County -- his father grew up in Appleby and his grandparents and other relatives are buried at Bethel Cemetery.  In his previous position with the Texas Association of Counties\, Lonnie visited all 254 counties of Texas. \n\n \n\nDETCOG's regional broadband initiative began in 2018 with a regional feasibility study and market analysis.  The network design for Phase One of a regional broadband network is now complete and DETCOG is awaiting decisions on two major grant applications to fund its construction.
