External Affairs Jimmy Earnest joined local AEP Texas employees at the chamber to accept the recognition. The award shows AEP Texas' ongoing role in supporting the Uvalde community through partnerships with local organizations, education outreach, volunteer efforts and infrastructure investments that help power homes and businesses.

"AEP Texas is honored to be recognized by the Uvalde Chamber of Commerce," Earnest said. "We are proud to serve the Uvalde community and to partner with local leaders and organizations to support meaningful progress and opportunity."

In addition to delivering electric service, AEP Texas employees regularly participate in community events to support residents, schools and businesses. The Uvalde Chamber of Commerce's Business of the Month designation demonstrates leadership, service and a positive impact in the community.
