'Teri is currently licensed by the State of Texas through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and she brings a wealth of experience to the position. We look forward to her knowledge, professionalism and dedication as we continue to enhance our community awareness, outreach and service.'

'I was born and raised in Texas, and I love Bandera,' Dollar said. 'After working in law enforcement and county government for a couple of decades, I found a career in municipal planning and development, specifically code enforcement.'

Dollar said she looks forward to helping implement the city's vision for code compliance.

'I currently have my Code Enforcement and Property Maintenance Inspector licenses,' she said. 'I look forward to our new vision of code compliance and working with our citizens to keep Bandera the unique city that was founded to be.'
