Creating A Lasting Legacy: Protecting Our Youth from Harm
In today's blog post, we want to shed light on a disturbing incident that occurred in TEXARKANA, Texas, involving a former high school band director, Brandon Neil Sams. The federal grand jury recently indicted Sams on serious charges related to misconduct with students. This unfortunate incident underscores the critical importance of our mission at Creating A Lasting Legacy LLC – to empower individuals with transformative coaching and create a safer, more positive environment for our youth.

A Troubling Indictment
Brandon Neil Sams, 47, has been charged with two counts of coercion or enticement of a minor in the Texarkana Division of the Eastern District of Texas. If convicted, he faces severe penalties, including the possibility of spending a significant portion of his life in federal prison and mandatory registration as a sex offender.
The federal indictment alleges that Sams engaged in misconduct with two students, identified as "Victim 1" and "Victim 2." These allegations are deeply troubling, as they involve the coercion of minors into engaging in sexual conduct, a clear violation of both federal and Texas state laws.
