Commissioners approve contracts for indigent defense in county courts
On Dec. 11 the Commissioners Court approved contracts for representation of indigent defendants in County Court and Juvenile Court. Commissioner Dwayne Faust made the motion and Commissioner David Hildebrand seconded; both contracts were approved unanimously.

The minutes note attachments for the contracts but do not record contract amounts, contracting attorneys’ names, or the administering department. The action formalizes the county’s funding and contracting for court-appointed representation of indigent defendants for the coming period.
