Beckendorff first took office as Waller County Precinct 4 Commissioner on January 1, 2015. After more than a decade of serving the citizens of Precinct 4, he ran for Waller County Judge and is unopposed in the November 2026 general election.

According to its website, the Highway 36A Coalition believe that, in addition to pushing for increased efficiency in moving goods from the Port of Freeport north as far as the Dallas area, the expansion of the Highway 36A corridor will provide for improved hurricane evacuation, more efficient mobility and greater economic development for the region and the state. The Highway 36A Coalition’s board includes Brazoria, Fort Bend and Waller Counties, in addition to the City of Katy, City of Pattison, and City of Weston Lakes, among others. Among the group’s officers are past chair Fort Bend County Commissioner Andy Meyers and at-large members Waller County Commissioner Kendric Jones and Dwayne Grigar, Director of Planning and Infrastructure for Fort Bend County Commissioner Vincent Morales.
