Titus County approves $200,000 Precinct 2 fund balance use for additional road work

Titus County Commissioners' Court approved a budget amendment to allow Precinct 2 to use $200,000 of its fund balance for additional road work. Commissioner Mitchell made the motion, Commissioner Parchman seconded it, and the court voted unanimously to approve the amendment.

During the item, staff said about three miles of road work had already been completed. County staff member Jeff reported crews are cleaning ditches, installing a 53-foot culvert to reroute water, and placing coal mix (a surface material) to finish work on Broadway Street. The amendment was identified in staff comments as budget amendment "2025-516" (verbatim from the record).

The court did not provide a project schedule or contractor name in the meeting discussion. Commissioners said additional work remains after the initial three miles already completed; no timeline for completion was recorded on the record.
