NACOGDOCHES, Texas – A nearly 2-year long legal battle between Galveston County Sheriff Jimmy Fullen and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) ended Wednesday. TCOLE officials initially recommended revoking Fullen’s peace officer’s license, before voting to issue a 6-month, backdated suspension that will not interfere with his duties as Sheriff.

During TCOLE’s December meeting in Nacogdoches, Commissioners voted unanimously to a probated 6-month suspension that was backdated to run from June 30 through Dec. 31, 2024.

The vote was the result of a mediated agreement between Fullen and TCOLE, and brings the matter to an end.
