Travis County appoints interim county clerk
Thursday, January 13, 2022 by Elizabeth Pagano
Travis County commissioners have appointed Rebecca Guerrero to serve as interim county clerk through the end of the year. Guerrero will fill the role starting Jan. 28, following the retirement of County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir after 35 years of service. According to a press release from the county, Guerrero has worked in the County Clerk’s Office for the past 22 years, the last six as the director of recording. A primary election to fill the role will take place March 1, and winners will compete in the general election on Nov. 8. Democrats Dyana Limon-Mercado and Kurt Lockhart will compete in the primary. Only one Republican, Susan Haynes, is running for the county clerk seat.
