Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Uncle James (Jim), you are remembered by your family and tribute has been paid by placing your name on the Fallen Officers memorial on the courthouse lawn in Athens, Texas. Retired Dallas county Deputy Terry Baker states the following:
From the file of Terry Baker, retired Deputy, Dallas Co. Sheriff's Dept.: In October, 2005 I completed the research on the case of James W. Hopson. I submitted my research files to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D. C. and the Texas Peace Officers Memorial in Austin, Texas. Constable Hopson was approved and his name placed on both memorials the next year.
The Hopson descendants placed a marker in the Blackjack cemetery in 2015 indicating his final resting place.
