For all of you who are sooo in love with Cody Blossman and are doing everything you can to get your spot at the George Bush Ranch deer lease, might want to take a look at the facts, not that they mean anything. Cody Blossman is the head of the jail. WHY would any young people respect any of these men? WHY? None of them have ever even seen Parnell, hell, no one has, he’s “at the house” full time and his buds, King Scott Felton, John Sawyer, and others, to make Cody our next Sheriff for Life. THIS is what you get when you have this leadership.
The men in power in this county will trade the safety of anyone’s son for a nice spot in a cush deer blind. It’s just that simple and that ugly. Don’t let them do this to you or someone you love. Obviously, the nurse knew what she was doing, who knows how many other people she has infected.
It’s so bad that employees of the jail are turning each other in, that means that FINALLY, THE BROTHERHOOD and their hold on the young has been broken, it’s just that bad.
Once again Waco has made it out of town and to TICK TOCK. Enjoy.
Tell your family and friends, don’t get into trouble in McLennan County. Don’t drive drunk, don’t fight, don’t get arrested, it’s not safe.

‘There have been no answers’: Attorneys for McLennan County jail inmates fear HIV exposure
Published: Feb. 20, 2026 at 5:00 PM CST|Updated: 16 hours ago
WACO, Texas (KWTX) – Inmates at the McLennan County Jail are raising concerns about a potential HIV exposure that attorneys say occurred during a medical treatment involving a shared needle and vial.
Waco attorney Mike Dixon, who is representing the county, said the incident began when a nurse used a needle and vial on a patient who had HIV.
Dixon said the needle was not replaced, which contaminated a second vial that was then used on other patients.
Dixon said the nurse was administering insulin to about a dozen county jail inmates with diabetes, including one inmate with diabetes who is also HIV-positive.
McLennan County Sheriff’s Major David Ives said the county cannot confirm or deny that this is how the exposure happened, as an investigation is ongoing.
Ives confirmed the nurse is no longer employed with the county as of Tuesday but said her name has not been released.
KWTX has filed a Texas Public Information Act request for more information about the county’s ongoing investigation and is seeking the name of the nurse.
Waco attorneys Christopher King and Robert Callahan said they are representing two inmates — Edward Cortez and Rogelio Rodriguez — who say they were exposed to HIV while receiving medical treatment at the jail.
“Obviously a sense of loss, a sense of pain, but overshadowing all of that is confusion,” King and Callahan said. “There have been no answers, there is so much that isn’t known and they are desperately seeking answers — as they are, of course, very fearful of what could develop from here.”
Callahan said the inmates are also concerned about continuing their insulin treatments.
“The concern is that because of the necessity of having insulin, that there’s now this chilling effect where they don’t feel safe receiving treatment, so there’s a potential for their conditions to worsen while they are in custody,” Callahan said.
Dixon said the county has taken steps to provide post-exposure medication to inmates who may have been affected.
Ives said details are limited because the matter involves medical information, but the county has initiated an internal review in addition to the ongoing investigation.
The Texas Association of Counties reached out to McLennan County to provide representation after seeing news coverage of the incident.
The representing attorney, Tom Brandt, said he had nothing to add at this time.
Ives said the county will provide updates as more information becomes available.
McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara agreed to speak to us, but then declined since Major Ives is taking point on the issue.
