Dear Chairman Mollohan and Ranking Member Wolf:

I am requesting funding in the FYIO Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
Appropriations bill, under the Byrne Grant program for the Harris County, TX Constable
Precinct 4, located at 16000 Stuebner Airline Road, Suite 520, Spring, TX 77379. It is
my understanding that the funding would be used to support an investigating deputy to
handle violent crimes against women. The investigating deputy will follow-up on cases,
assist in locating suspects, and serve protective orders. The investigating deputy shall
follow-up on cases that have become dormant, and work on cases where the suspect has
never been brought to justice. I certifY that neither I nor my spouse has any financial
interest in this project.

Consistent with the Republican Leadership's policy on earmarks, I hereby certifY that to
the best of my knowledge this request (1) is not directed to an entity or program that will
be named after a sitting Member of Congress; (2) is not intended to be used by an entity
to secure funds for other entities unless the use of funding is consistent with the specified
purpose of the earmark; and (3) meets or exceeds all statutory requirements for matching
funds where applicable. I further certify that should this request be included in the bill, I
will place a statement in the Congressional Record describing how the funds will be spent
and justifYing the use of federal taxpayer funds.

Sincerely,

TED POE
Member of Congress
TEXAS
