A Message from Denise
Experience You Can Trust. Service You Deserve.
I am proud to officially announce my candidacy for Kerr County Clerk in the March 2026 Primary!
Dear Kerr County Friends and Neighbors,
My name is Denise Vela, and it is an honor to serve our community. As a Kerrville native and Tivy High School graduate, this county is, and always has been home. I am committed to giving back with the same respect, care, and dedication that shaped me growing up.
For the past four years, I have served in the Kerr County Clerk’s Office, where I currently serve as Chief Deputy County Clerk. In this role, I help oversee daily operations and support all departments within the Clerk’s Office. I’ve gained hands-on experience in every area we serve, including Vital Statistics, Probate and Guardianship, County Court at Law, Juvenile and Mental Health, Land and Official Public Records, Elections, and Commissioners’ Court.
My background includes six years with the Kerrville Police Department as an Administrative Records Clerk and more than 25 years in Information Technology with Dell Computer. This experience has strengthened my skills in records management, legal documentation, data security, and improving efficiency through modern technology. I am committed to advancing paperless systems that reduce costs and deliver better service to the people of Kerr County.
I continue my professional development through annual training with the Texas Secretary of State, Texas College of Probate Judges, and the County/District Clerk State Conferences. I am working on pursuing my Paralegal Certification through the University of Texas at San Antonio.
But above all, my motivation is simple: to serve well. Not for recognition, not for power, but because I care deeply about this community and the people in it. That is what it means to lead with a servant’s heart.
I would be honored to have your support and your vote in the March 2026 Primary.
With gratitude,
Denise Vela
