Lubbock’s law enforcement community received well-deserved recognition this week when local officers were honored by Governor Greg Abbott at the 2026 Star of Texas Awards, according to KCBD.
The Star of Texas Awards is the state’s highest honor for peace officers, firefighters, and first responders who have demonstrated extraordinary courage and dedication in the line of duty. Being selected for this prestigious recognition places Lubbock’s honorees among the best of the best across the entire Lone Star State.
The acknowledgment shines a spotlight on the men and women in Lubbock who put themselves on the line every day to keep their community safe. Recognition at the state level serves as a powerful reminder of the commitment and sacrifice that local law enforcement officers bring to their work — and of the pride the Hub City can take in those who serve it.
The Star of Texas Awards ceremony, hosted by the Governor, brings together honorees and their families from communities across Texas, celebrating the exceptional individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty. For Lubbock’s recipients and their loved ones, it is a moment of well-earned pride and community gratitude.
Congratulations to Lubbock’s honored law enforcement members on this outstanding statewide recognition. The community is grateful for your service.
