Welcome to Cotulla, Texas and La Salle County

We, at The Chamber, are glad to have you as a part of our community. Ours is an area that is rich in history and  traditions. From the earliest settlers crossing into Texas at the Nueces River in ox carts going North to the latest jet  planes landing at our modern airport, transportation and travel have been an important part of our lives. Our community welcomes the oilfield activities and workers who are developing the Eagle Ford Shale in our midst. If there is anything we can do to help you enjoy your stay, please contact us at our Chamber office.

"When family means everything, there is nothing a man wouldn't do to protect and defend his. Jacob Quintero, an active duty Marine and the baby of the siblings, tells the story of his older brother Josiah Quintero who lived an unorthodox life in efforts to provide his family a better life. The story of Josiah is told in sequential order starting from his childhood leading up to his professional career. Josiah lived a selfish life and shows heart and passion throughout many struggles and storms of adversity to show the true meaning of love and what the cost of love is. From troubled beginnings, he is molded to a fine gentleman who paves the way for his brothers and sisters and demonstrates great leadership. Making a promise at an early age, Josiah becomes a hero in the eyes of all those that know him and lays the foundation with the bricks that are thrown at him. He creates a plan to provide a bright future for his family and one that will unfold as the story is told with a twisting ending. Josiah is a craftsman and visionary of his life and proves one actions can hugely impact and influence those love ones around him with certain actions and risks. Josiah is one to be remembered, honored, and admired."—excerpt

Medina Electric Cooperative

May’s Business of the Month by Cotulla-La Salle County Chamber of Commerce

 

Medina Electric Cooperative has been in existence since 1938 and started providing power to the Frio and La Salle counties in 1941.  Today, Medina EC serves more than 32,000 meters across 10,750 square miles in 17 South Texas counties. As a not-for-profit electric cooperative, it is owned by almost 18,500 members.

Providing safe, affordable electricity is key to the core business model of the cooperative.  However, being a part of the community is equally important. Some of the different ways the cooperative supports its members and the communities is by donating backpacks for different back to school events, sponsoring little league teams, supporting the livestock shows and public libraries.

Medina EC has awarded seven retired co-op trucks to volunteer fire departments since 2015, over $557,000 in educational scholarships since 2000 and has provided electrical safety demonstrations to countless school aged children, first responders and community members.

Medina EC members, directors, employees and individual donations have supported giving back to their neighbors through the Operation Round Up program.  Since 2006, co-op members have donated over $130,000 to individuals and organizations throughout the 17 counties.  Help has been provided to individuals who are fighting illnesses or lost their home in a fire, and organizatons like food pantries and children’s shelters.

“By giving back to our communities, we are supporting our members.  We are proud to not only provide power to our members but also to empower our communities to grow,” said Mark Rollans, CEO.
