The "We Don't Kiss and Tell" (meaning you will remain anonymous) is kind of funny but technically inaccurate. If a person gives a tip to Crime Stoppers indicating Mr. X committed a crime but Mr. Y is actually charged with the crime, Mr. Y is allowed to have access to the Crime Stoppers' tipster's name as part of his defense. See Thomas v. State, 837 S.W.2d 106 (Tex. Crim. App 1992).
Trivia: And the Thomas case has a strained Wise County connection. The trial judge in that case was Ed Kinkeade out of Dallas whose brother is Hal Kinkeade, the former pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bridgeport.
Thought: Every person placed on probation in Wise County has been required to pay $50 into the Crime Stoppers fund. I wonder how much money is currently in that fund? Sheriff? Madam Treasurer?

Your Twitter background is giving me retinal damage. Not being UnRepublican, but geez, it's a little busy.
Holy smokes,there must be a fortune in that account.
i wonder how many folks you personally are responsible for making that payment....back in the day, or even now.....hmmm
I looked in the box and all I saw was a sales receipt for a new Banjo and some strings or sumthin.
Crime stoppers can steal more money than a man with a briefcase.
Why must the citizens do the cops job for them?
