Nightmare County (1971)

To: All and all who could help me
I am writing this letter pleading for your help on several issues that I have in Chambers County, Texas, the participation of its local representatives. Please read this letter thoroughly as I believe my constitutional rights have been and continue to be violated or. I am writing in hopes you can help me.
My name is Travis J Richard, first I want to share a little story about myself to give you an insight into my character and services to citizens from the great state of Texas.
I am an African-American born in Anahuac, Texas in 1971. My extended family still resides in Hankamer Texas, but my mother moved to California when I was four. As a child I always dreamed of returning to Texas to live and retire. I had the right to visit during the summers until the age of adolescence.
After a successful career as a Law Enforcement Officer I was informed that my grandmother lived under conditions of poverty in a small town in Hankamer, Chambers County, Texas. I took a trip to visit him in 2006 and was in shock under the conditions she lived and the community at large. I would describe as belonging to his house, infested with termites and rats. The landscape was in such disarray that it could threaten the life of one to enter. One day I was on the road to his house I noticed a single-wide trailer located approximately 30 feet east of his house once beautiful, when I attended an adult female black Large open the back door and throw something five gallon bucket.
After further examination it appeared to urine and feces. I asked a neighbor who lives in the small trailer and was told over 12 people lived at least 600 square feet, and they have no running water or sewage. After further investigation, I learned there were several families living in Hankamer in similar conditions, some of the houses riddled with mold. My heart ached for those people that I knew that it becomes extremely hot in Texas. Several families and individuals living in the trailer home without walls, siding, and some without roofs. The following days I visited I learned that there were people, even living in abandoned cars and into the woods.
This situation has really touched my heart and I started making plans to help the people of Hankamer. On returning I started checking all the ways that I even thought about using my retirement money to give back and help my grandmother and citizens Hankamer.
I immediately started researching how I could help positively improve the lives of these people. Throughout my career as an officer and a police state has been devoted to helping the vulnerable, abused, child victims of violence, abuse and neglect of our citizens with disabilities to mental illness . With this heavy on my heart, I took everything I had and took an early retirement to move to Texas and help this city die.
My first investment was over $ 80,000 in the city of Hankamer. That was my entire savings account and using my mother, who now lives in California. We had my grandmothers house demolished and the land subsided. We then bought a mobile home that was in its excellent condition and was transferred back in. Having compassion for the neighbors who lived in the small 30 foot trailer with no running water or services that I bought another large trailer home, which includes all hung a registered septic and water system and has enabled families to move in without charge. They obtained a state housing assistance to pay their monthly rent.
More work was done on the ground as well. The road to the property has been so neglected that it had holes that were more than 4 feet deep and 5 feet in diameter. When rainwater fills these holes could be seen snakes, snakes very dangerous inside swimming. Now, please note that the sector was up 2.
