ISSUES:
Illegal Immigration
Constituents send me more letters and e-mail about
immigration than any other issue. Most encourage me to
support bills or ideas to reduce, eliminate, or
desensitize those who are in or came to the U.S.
illegally. A few argue that the benefits of illegal
immigrants are greater than the cost.

Dear Constituents and
Friends:
Thank you for allowing me to be your public servant for
almost forty years. First for thirty years on the Dallas
County Commissioners Court and more recently what will be
eight years as a member of the Texas House of
Representatives. However, there is always a time to begin
and a time to end. Before seeking this last term I knew it
would lead to a difficult legislative session that would
include redistricting and necessary but difficult budget
decisions. I also knew it would probably be my last term.
Everyday as I walked from our condo to the Capital I prayed
"Lord let me be relevant". I believe God did. As Chairman of
Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence I authored or joint
authored and /or helped shape bills on Private Property
Rights, Tort Reform, Stopping employment of Children in sex
establishments, Statewide Court Reorganization, Barratry,
and others. Although the legislature failed to successfully
address some important issues and some of my personal agenda
did not become law; Overall it was a great session for me.
And a great one to end on. I also had great staff.
I will not be a candidate for re-election to the Texas House
in the 2012 elections. Nor do I plan to seek any other
office.
When preparing to leave Commissioners Court after 30 years,
I said this simple prayer; "Lord my future is in your hands;
If you have other plans for me I am ready; But if not
retirement sounds good". Now, after what will be eight years
in the legislature I have repeated that prayer.
God willing, Sue and I are looking forward to an active
private life in which we share time with each other, our
family, and our friends.
May God continue to bless us all and may God continue to
bless Texas.
Respectfully,
Jim Jackson
