Congratulations to my Chief Clerk, Dayse Becerra, for being recognized by the Jefferson County Human Resources Department! We are so grateful to have her!

Meet Dayse, this week’s .

Dayse has been with Jefferson County’s Constable, Precinct 2 Office for over four years. She now serves as the Chief Clerk for Constable Bates. She is a proud Christian mom of four, two boys and two girls, and is over the moon to become a first-time grandma this November. She is also a fur mom to four kitties and a sweet pup. When not at work, she loves to show up for her kids in all the big and little moments, making memories, and going to church. Her family and faith are at the center of it all, and what keeps her going.

The citizens and employees of Jefferson County are lucky to have an employee like Dayse. Thank you for all you do, you make an impact every day!
