Bosque County has been left with a hole in its heart. Ronny was a mentor to me but even more than that he was a great friend.
His stories and sense of humor will continue on in our memories. His knowledge, leadership, and service will be greatly missed.
I pray God wraps his arms around the Liardon’s during this time and the days to come. I pray for all of Ronny’s many friends and for Bosque county- we will miss you.

Today, Bosque County lost more than a Commissioner, we lost a friend, a leader, and a man who genuinely cared about the people and the community he served. Commissioner Ronny Liardon dedicated himself to Bosque County with a servant's heart, always willing to lend a hand, offer guidance, and work tirelessly to make our county a better place. His impact will be felt for years to come, and his absence will leave a void that cannot be filled. Our hearts are with Ronny’s family during this incredibly difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. The Bosque County family is grieving alongside you, and we mourn the loss of someone who meant so much to all of us. Rest easy, Commissioner Liardon. Thank you for your service, your kindness, and the legacy you leave behind. You will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

It’s Work Zone Awareness Week, and once again I want to take a moment to recognize the amazing work of the Precinct 2 crew.
James, Weldon, and Rickey do a great job maintaining the county roads throughout Bosque County Precinct 2. Their “office” looks a little different than most — heavy equipment, open roads, and some of the best views around.
When you see them out on the county roads, please slow down, stay alert, and take a moment to thank them for the important work they do to keep our community moving safely.

I want to clarify some information regarding recent questions about a potential data center in Iredell.
At this time, I have no knowledge of a planned or proposed data center coming to Iredell. No company has approached the Commissioners’ Court to request a tax abatement related to a data center project. While companies are not required to do so, this is typically the only reason a data center would come before the Commissioners’ Court.
Any individual or company has the right to buy or sell private property. Likewise, licensed and permitted companies, including those affiliated with data centers, purchase land and build without petitioning the Commissioners Court. These facilities are regulated, licensed, and permitted by the State of Texas, which supersedes county authority in Bosque County and throughout the state. To date, this has not occurred for the land purchased in Iredell.
It was only last week that I was made aware of a private land transaction between an Iredell landowner and a company affiliated with data centers. A private land sale alone does not indicate that a data center is planned or approved.
When companies do request a tax abatement, the Commissioners Court is able to establish certain conditions—such as road repairs related to construction, location of projects to make sure they are positioned as far away from residences as possible, and lighting requirements to ensure downward-facing lights. However, broader regulations, permitting, and licensing are governed by the State.
Additionally:
• Water usage is regulated by the Middle Trinity.
• Electricity is regulated by ERCOT. Neither is controlled by the County.
For concerns regarding data centers, I strongly encourage residents to contact their State Representatives, as they are the governing body responsible for laws regulating these facilities. Residents are also welcome to share concerns during Commissioners Court, but it is important to understand the limits of county authority.
To be clear: I am not in favor of data centers popping up indiscriminately across Bosque County. I am an 8th generation Bosque County resident, and I have not “sold out.” I too enjoy sitting outside and taking in the view of rural living. My commitment remains to Bosque County and the long-term interests of our community.
