Meet This Year’s GRAND MARSHALL — Kenda Culpepper
District Attorney for Rockwall County, Texas
Many may not know that Kenda Culpepper, the District Attorney for Rockwall County, Texas was the driving force behind the Children’s Advocacy Center for Rockwall County.
As child abuse cases climbed and as the top Law Enforcement Officer and Prosecutor in Rockwall County, she saw the need for Rockwall County to house their own CAC instead of relying on the services of Children’s Advocacy Centers from surrounding counties.
In 2015 a unique collaboration between Kenda Culpepper and a local group of Bikers (Americas Guardians Law Enforcement/Public Safety Motorcycle Club) came together in and effort to bring Awareness to the plight of Child Abuse and Neglect in Rockwall County. Thus the Rockwall County “Bikes for Tykes Teddy Bear Ride” was born.
The first Teddy Bear Ride/Event was very successful raising over $25,000 helping to launch the reality of bringing Rockwall County their own Children’s Advocacy Center. AGMC became one of 6 Founding Guild Members for the Rockwall County CAC.
This unique collaboration continues as the 7th Annual Bike for Tykes Teddy Bear Ride will be held on September 18, 2022. Bikes for Tykes and AGMC are Proud to have District Attorney Kenda Culpepper as the 2022 Grand Marshal for this event.
Among her many, many accolades and honors Kenda was recently named one of the Five Best Prosecutors in America by the Manhattan Institute! Here is the article that came out;
Kenda Culpepper, Rockwall County, Texas: Culpepper is district attorney for Rockwall County, just outside of Dallas. Culpepper went to law school to be a prosecutor and joined the district attorney’s office as a line assistant district attorney immediately after graduation. She then added another layer of experience before being elected district attorney by engaging in a criminal-defense practice, allowing her to see both sides of criminal issues.
She was elected district attorney in 2008. For the last 14 years, serving next door to a district attorney’s office in Dallas that has seen enormous changes in approach, Culpepper has witnessed both the good and bad in criminal-justice reforms. Through it all, she has kept a steady course, punishing violent criminals and protecting victims while upholding the ethical rules for prosecutors.
Though hers is the smallest county in Texas, she has served as president of the Texas District and County Attorneys Association and a delegate to the National District Attorneys Association, and was named the 2021 Texas Prosecutor of the Year for her innovative efforts to keep the criminal-justice system running during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Even defense lawyers respect her. One remarked: “Kenda Culpepper is not only tough on crime, she is smart on crime—using all available resources to try to make sure the right man or woman is charged. Her ethics and professionalism make her a role model for all law enforcement officers.”

This is our 7th year hosting the Rockwall County Bike for Tykes Teddy Bear Ride!!
All proceeds go to the kids at The Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) in Rockwall, TX.
America’s Guardians MC is a cornerstone supporter of the CAC!!
The CAC runs solely on donations.
There are several ways — large and small — for you to participate & help support this incredible organization!
The Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC)
Our CAC is open for the kids in their greatest hour of need, and offers multiple in-house services.
All of the kids that come in get to pick out their own bear, this gives them a little something to hold onto and clutch as their own after enduring a traumatic event.
When family violence happens, The CAC helps them get through this.
All of this is very traumatic for children, The Rockwall CAC has all of these services under one roof.
All of the money raised in our Teddy Bear Ride supports this program.
The CAC depends on donations from the community to help keep the facility staffed and fully prepared to help these kids.
By April of 2022, unfortunately, Rockwall CAC has experienced a 70% increase in child abuse in our community.
Not only does our Teddy Bear Ride collect Teddy Bears, but we also raised $40,000.00 this past year to help maintain this center and support the work they do.

Detective Timothy Rountree is a highly decorated child abuse detective and pastor of a church in Dallas — he was also sexually abused as a child. He was the Keynote Speaker at the International Crimes Against Children Conference 2020.
