Constable Christopher Bates has bloomed where he was planted. A Port Arthur native and product of Port Arthur schools, Bates spends his time as a constable for Precinct 2 and as a leader who believes it is his obligation to make the city a better place. On Tuesday, Bates received the key to the city and a proclamation declaring Sept. 26, 2023, as Christopher Bates Day in Port Arthur. 'Constable Bates, thank you so much, man. What an honor for us to share with you today and to have Christopher Bates Day in our city,' Councilman Donald Frank said.
