A former Beaumont mayor, Mouton, has played a role in bringing a Jason's Deli to a small town near San Antonio. The restaurant chain, which originated in the Beaumont area, has expanded to Live Oak, a town northeast of San Antonio. The new Jason's Deli location in Live Oak opened on July 25.

City leaders in Live Oak have credited the former Beaumont mayor with helping to secure the restaurant's presence in their community. Further details about the opening and the former mayor's involvement are available from local news sources, including KFDM.
