“The Adopt-A-Beach Annual Spring Cleanup is always an amazing turnout for Texans to join together and volunteer their time to keep our Texas beaches beautiful,” said Commissioner George P. Bush. “What better way to serve our great state than by spending the day at the beach? It is because of our wonderful volunteers, that our annual spring cleanup provides the Texas coast with the care it deserves.
