Bill was elected Constable in Levelland, Hockley County, Texas in 1962.

Shortly after the sun rises Monday, Bill Horne will make his comeback complete.
Five days a week for the past 15 years the 80-year old Horne has guided students through streets in Haltom City as a school crossing guard, the last seven years at the corner of Stanley Keller Road and Doe Lane.
He worked from 7:30 to 8:30 in the morning and from 2:30 to 4 in the afternoon, watching out for elementary students as they crossed the street.
But in August, Horne suffered a heart attack that caused him to miss the start of the school year for the first time since he began working as a guard.
"I'd never missed a day up until my heart attack," Horne said. "I'd be there every morning and afternoon no matter what. Even if it was raining, I'd get there to help those kids.:
"I stayed in the hospital for a while after it (heart attack) happened," he said. "I've been out a few weeks now and I've gotten pretty restless. I Knew I'd come back."
"He's without a doubt one of the most dependable guards we have," said Haltom City Assistant Police Chief J W Robbins. "We're confident that there won't be any trouble when he is there."
"But lately, I've been feeling real good. I can't wait to get started again," Horne said. "I couldn't give it up."
