SOUR LAKE, Texas — A bill introduced during the legislative session would change the way police officers are paid. HB 1354, also known as Good Pay for Good Police, is a move to better compensate the people who serve and protect our community. The bill is authored by Texas Rep. Carl Sherman . "It's really about providing a decent livable wage for law enforcement in small rural areas," Sherman said. Sour Lake, Texas has a population of just under 2,000 people and Sour Lake Police Chief Aaron Burleson believes this bill could have great results for his department.
