Buck was born just inside of Houston in 1961. Moving to Pearland in the 60’s, he and his family have deep roots in the community. Buck has two sons, Beau and Wyatt who attend Pearland ISD. Buck enjoys dancing, traveling, movies, antique stores, cooking and working in the yard and with wood crafts.

Buck’s father, B.J. Stevens, was a well-known police officer here in Pearland after retiring from Houston Police Department. Although Buck did not go directly into law enforcement, he was around the all aspects of it and lived it for many years as a young man growing up here.

In 1997, Buck successfully unseated the incumbent and has remained in office since that time. Buck was also part-owner in a successful business in Pearland that still thrives today under new ownership.

Since holding office, Buck has raised the bar for all Constables in Brazoria County by being innovative, progressive and a leader in the civil and administrative areas of law.
