It took some doing by some members of the Cameron County Commissioners Court but they finally got losing Pct. 1 Democratic candidate Horacio Zamora the position of Chief Park Ranger after they opened up the department following his loss to Republican Pete Delgadillo in November.
The majority on the court wanted to appoint Zamora as interim Chief Park Ranger at a special meeting last December, but opted instead to heed legal counsel warnings and post the position. After 12 people applied, it was discovered that the job qualifications as written by commissioners court's legal counsel inadvertently asked that the winning candidate possess a bachelor's degree in law enforcement. Since Zamora lacked such a qualification, the court decided that instead of requiring the degree that the requirements be changed so that it was "preferably" better for the candidates to have one instead.
You know, instead of improving the bridge, why not lower the river?
Out of the original 12 applicants, the three finalists were notified that the job would be reposted to reflect the wishes of the majority of the commissioner.
This opened the way for Zamora and at this morning's special meeting, the job was finally given to Zamora.
Only Judge Carlos Cascos voted against it, with Pct. 4 Commissioner Dan Sanchez going to bat for the degreeless Zamora.
Sanchez was at his best making friends and influencing people as he strives to please all in his bid for the position of county judge. With the backing of commissioners Sofia Benavides, Ernie Hernandez, David Garza and Sanchez, Zamora carried the day.
The establishment of the Park Ranger Dept. means that Delgadillo will be left with only two deputies to cover the communities in the Pct. 1 constable area and that the park rangers will have a full complement of ranger deputies covering the beaches on South Padre Island and Boca Chica.

Delgadillo stayed with the same amount of deputies that Zamora had working the same area.it has always been two for Laguna heights and all other deputies were assigned to spi.Maybe Delgadillo just doesnt know how to take care of business
County people, you all saw it coming, lowering job description to bare stupid, STUPID won! Go figure!!
THIS IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AT WORK. TODOS SON UNA BOLA DE MIERDA!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's make one things clear. They don't ever go to Boca chica. I live in Brownsville and you'll be lucky to see sheriffs out there non the less parks police. Those p ark rangers are worthless. The damn county commissioners needs to open their eyes and notice they have their heads up their ass. Bunch of idiots. Do it for the people not yourself.
Get over it people. The man did a good job before; he will do a good job now!!!!!
Bastardos mamones, no valen madre ninguno.
Horacio has a PhD. in experience. The job of a Park Ranger certainly doesn't require for the person to have the criminal law knowledge of a FBI agent. If he was capable of being a Constable, he is capable of being a Park Ranger. If someday Horacio decides to run for Sheriff and he wins. He would be sheriff and not have a degree. The man has the experience.
Typical Cameron County garbage. No valen verga putos. Especially Sasquatch Dan Sanchez.
Trash pure trash
could you let us know the names and the resume of the others to put against his resume
ATTENCION.... POR FAVOR DIGANLE A ESTE 'PENDEJO' QUE NO LE QUEDA EL SOMBRERO. Y SE VE QUE EL PANTALON LEVI MUY A HUEVO LE QUEDA. Y VAMOS A ESPERAR HA VER A QUIEN VA A METER AL BOTE.
it's obvious this is a power play by the sofie... why doesn't she want to give up any power over the beaches? is there money coming her way by controlling the law enforcement presence on the beaches? less than a year ago zamora and sofie were arguing the park rangers were not needed at commissioners meeting but all of a sudden they are when they lose the election. something isn't right with this hopefully one day these people will get caught like the trevino's did in hidalgo county
this is the most blatant showing of compadrismo I have seen in years. And it comes at the height of Federal Investigations into corruption. The commissioners court, with the exception of Cascos, just shrugged it off.
Really Horacio, was it worth it to go down on Sofia Benavides, I guess so??? Have you gotten all the hair out of your teeth??? I got to give it to Cascos? He was at least diplomatic in trying to make the public understand that Pete got screwed when they took his men. As for the other freaking idiots who voted for this? You all made deals in that Executive Session and the only one losing is the persons who live in Pct. 1. And you claim to be public servants? The corruption and the pendejadas continue in Cameron Cunty!
HEY.... FEB 7, 2013 11:39PM BLOGGER:
YOUR TELLING ME THAT THE OTHER.... APPLICANTS DIDN'T HAVE THE QUAILFICATIONS....BULL SHIT...TWO HAD COLLEGE DEGREES....AND MUCH MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!!!!! YA RIGHT...BLOGGER YOU MUST BE AN IDIOT OR A RELATIVE OF THIS ARROGANT SOB!!!!!
Pete didn't get screwed people. He stayed with the same amount of deputies that any other constable before him had.
When Zamora was Constable people complained there were patrolling to much and enforcing state law too much. But now with the new Constable delgadillo residents complain of crime and less patrols.Delgadillo needs to stop crying and focus on how to make his department work.he needs management skills and better deputies
The issue isn't whether or not Zamora is, was or will be a good chief. The issue is that the system was rigged for him. It isn't really that different from the Cadriel job at the bridge. A rigged system cheats everyone. I am trying to see it from the point of view of the commisioners that went along with this only I can't seem to get my head that far up my ass.
Cameron county is not an equal oportunity employer, applicants should investigate if legal action against cameron county is feasible.
PhD in being a mamon!
Isn't Zamora Rick ZAYAS' brother-in-law? Enough said!
So Horacio Zamora does not have a college degree and the qualifications were taylored in his favor. Just like Orlando Rodriguez who has a GED and no college degree. County following the City's foot steps.
11.08 comment... estoy de acuerdo contigo, pero ya que estamos de acuerdo y tu lo conaces. POR FAVOR DILE A ESTE PENDEJO QUE NO LE QUEDA EL SOMBRERO, SE VE MAS PENDEJO QUE LO QUE ES.
Well this just getting to old. The Park Rangers that are assign to the parks are worthless. They are not well trained some of them do not even know how to do DWI's fill out Family Violence Packets, accidents reports some do not know how to use PC probable cause the list can go on. They are not even professional when it comes down to public relations they obscene language. Zamora is there because of Sofia Cisneros Benavides and her relatives that work for the PARK RANGERS not because of the experience or requirements set by Cameron County HR. It sucks that you have qualified individuals applying for the position. All they were doing was wasting their time and effort in doing so. Cameron County is never going to progress like other counties. Carlos Cascos should start looking into the NEPOTISM that is going on in that department. Half of the department are cousins or related but his not going to do anything about that he has know about for years. Just watch crime rate going to up, beaches are going to be dirtier, and public safety will be question. This agency that only covers 2 mile of access 5, 3 miles of access 6, maybe 10 miles north of access 6 too and Isla Blanca Park is asking for a $5000.00 pay raise when other surrounding agencies have more ground to cover and less man power to do so. The Park Rangers are not going to patrol any of the other parks they are going to concentrate only on the beaches and that want more pay. Nothing is going going to change I lost all trust in Cameron County Politics.
When Zamora was constable and his so called deputies patrolled Laguna heights and so called enforced the laws ^ like this person calls it. They conducted unlawful traffic stops. They would stop you for any reason and violated people's rights. There were many complaints from deputy "woody" that Zamora knew about but never punished him Zamora would only laugh about it I know that there are pending lawsuits against Zamora . I bet Zamora is happy to go work with his clicka by the way if you want to congratulate him he will be drinking with his clicka at ranas bar in Brownsville. Get this , the bouncer from ranas is now a park ranger too
Zamora you are pathetic and your clicka too!!
Ese pinche woody siempre tenia alguen con el porque tenia miedo andar solo patrullando carcajadas. Pura pinche bola de mierdas
Just another example of the Dumbokratic Party taking care of its folks....even after they lose elections. Local Dumbokratic officials, by giving this "job" to Horacio, just use public funds to hand out political favors...even to losers.
From the look of his pic, he looks like he's got a PHD in skanking, as well.
Fredo.
To you idiots who think that Horacio Zamora deserved this position, your full of it! This was a set up from the beginning and there are still a lot of questions why? Whether he is qualified or not is not the issue? The issue is that the Park Rangers was dissolved to accomodate Pct. 1 and at the time Zamora. Now, that he lost an election, he gains a new job and plenty of help? What about Pct. 1 voters and taxpayers? Sofie Benavidez with that fat ass shit on them along with the other elected officials. Hello, there is a corruption trial going on that resulted in CC! There is corruption going on in this deal?
How did he beat out a texas ranger whom is looked up to by all law enforcement whom has ywars of experience working narcotics murders and PUBLIC CORRUPTION or a dps captain wirh another load of credentials wow way to drop the ball. i hope all you get indicted on the next round of federal indictments.

I hope the Texas Ranger who is being referred to here is not Israel P.! He was the worst investigator DPS ever had. If you think the DA was bad at gathering evidence you should see the mess this guy made at DPS. What he could not find he would fabricate. He would even tell witness what to put in their statements. Hope you were not refering to that guy!
