Not many know that Cindy Lindley was one of two persons (the other being Kenda Culpepper Rockwall County DA), that AGMC TX28A initially met and conferred with 8 years ago, about hosting a Motorcycle Teddy Bear Ride to benefit the newly created Rockwall County Children’s Advocacy Center.

For the past 8 years, Cindy has served as the volunteer liaison between the CAC and Americas Guardians Motorcycle Club, who host the Bikes for Tykes fundraiser that benefits the CACRC.

She has attended and participated in their many planning meetings, assisted with the silent auction set ups and solicited volunteers to help. This collaboration continues as the 8 th annual Bikes for Tykes Teddy Bear Ride will be held this year on September 17, 2023.

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.”
