Wolverton has represented west end cities, like Schertz and Cibolo, for more than two decades on the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court. Those who have watched him work say that Commissioner Wolverton has worked for years to provide the best services to not only the people of Precinct 3, but also for those who reside in other parts of the sprawling county. Wolverton took part in his last scheduled commissioners court meeting on this week at the Guadalupe County Courthouse. Wolverton’s final term in office will end on Thursday, December 31, and it will officially bring his 24 years on the court to a close.
