TCSOA President Jacob Bentura was raised in Buda, Texas. After graduating from Jack C. Hays high school, he began his career at the Travis County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) in 2001. He began as a security coordinator at TCJ before being promoted to corrections officer. Jacob worked at Del Valle being assigned to Building 4 and ISD Security. While assigned to ISD, Jacob attended the TCSO Basic Peace Officer Course and was sworn in as a deputy in 2006. In January 2009, Jacob moved to his first tour in Prisoner Transportation before spending nearly four years at the Hospital Visitation Unit. Due to his love and passion for Prisoner Transportation, Jacob returned to Transportation in 2017, where he is currently assigned. Along with achieving numerous awards from TCSO, he currently holds a Master Jailers license.
During his 21 years, Deputy Bentura has been a Field Training officer in each of the sections he’s worked in. His tenure as a Field Training Officer totals to sixteen years. His passion for Prisoner Transportation and teaching others the duties of a Transportation officer has led him to being a two-time FTO in the section. He also assists the TCSO Training Academy with teaching the COBRA cadets about Prisoner Transportation. Throughout his career, Bentura has been a proven leader.
Jacob has been involved with the TCSO Honor Guard, where he was a part of the first competition team that TCSO sent to compete at the Honor Guard competition in Washington DC, during the National Peace Officers Week. He also spent five seasons, competing on the gridiron with the Central Texas Wolfpack, First Responders Semi Pro football team.

Jacob has also helped with community service events with his church as well as the Wounded Warrior Project. Jacob’s other passion is coaching little league baseball in Menchaca. He hopes to inspire the young men that he coaches to love and respect the game as much as he does.
Jacob has been a loyal member of the Travis County Sheriff’s Officers Association since 2003. He first served on the TCSOA board as place 4 from 2012-2014. He was appointed to the TCSOA Political Action committee (PAC) in 2020. Jacob was elected to be President of TCSOA in November 2022.

My name is Audrey Segura. I've been with TCSO since April 2012 as a security coordinator with TCJ. Moved to Central Booking as a coordinator. For 10 years, booking has been my home until I was promoted to Officer on March 2021 and my new home is now building 12. I have been a board member with TCSOA for over 8 years and now I am Treasurer. I enjoy being an active member of the association because it allows me to meet new people and help those who need additional information when it comes to policy and procedures with Travis County.
Sincerely,
Audrey Segura

My name is Anthony Fernandez. I am currently "Place 3" on the TCSOA Board of Directors. I was born In Austin, Tx. I moved from Austin in 1983 and have lived in many places, including overseas as a military dependent. I have lived in California, Alaska, England, and Japan. I moved back to Austin, TX in 1999.
In September of 2008, I started my TCSO career as a Security Coordinator downtown at TCJ and then transferred to Del Valle HSB control room the same year. With much motivation provided by my peers and various coworkers, I was promoted to Corrections Officer in 2010. I began my tenure as an officer in Building 12, and four years later I transferred to Central Booking where I am currently assigned. After several years of being assigned at Central Booking, I submitted my name to participate in the FTO selection process. I succeeded in my goal of becoming a part of the leadership team and am now an FTO on A-Shift. I have been with Travis County for over 14 years. In those 14 years, I’ve been through many trials to which I learned great lessons.
On a personal note, a little bit about myself. I enjoy spending time with my wife, children, and other family members. I love fishing. I also enjoy watching football. Yes, I am a Cowboys fan! I tend to stay busy in my free time working on my land and truck…..it’s also my place of peace.
I look forward to another year representing you with the Travis County Sheriff’s Officers Association. I am always just a phone call or email away if you ever have any questions.

P.A.C.
I started with Travis County in May of 2009 as a Security Coordinator in the Central Booking Facility. In October of 2010, I promoted to Correctional Officer and transferred to Building One. While at Building One I began my first stint as an FTO. During this time, I realized that I wanted something more challenging so I applied for Prisoner Transportation position. In July 2014 I transferred to Prisoner Transport and in July of 2017 I became an FTO. I have been a member of TCSOA and CLEAT since 2010. In 2018, I was invited by our current PAC Chair to a membership meeting and became the PAC Treasure. As the PAC Treasure I ensure that we stay complaint with all state regulations and manage all incoming and outgoing member funds. As a member of the PAC the most important and enjoyable part is ensuring that all member initiatives are met. When not working or handling TCSOA duties I enjoy spending time doing my favorite activities absorbing and entangling myself in any and all Football and house cleaning related activities.
