Commissioners extend Burleson County Highway Patrol lease with DPS through 2031

Burleson County Commissioners Court approved Contract #2091 Amendment No.1 Sept. 22 to renew office space leased to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) for the Highway Patrol, extending the lease through Oct. 12, 2031.

Commissioner David Hildebrand made the motion to approve the amendment and Commissioner Dwayne Faust seconded it. The meeting minutes recorded that all present voted aye and none voted no.

The minutes list the contract amendment by number and the new lease expiration date but do not include rental amounts, terms of the extension, or related fiscal impact details in the public record for this meeting. Those financial details were not read into the minutes during the session and are noted as not specified in the record.

The court entered the amendment as a formal action in its official minutes; further contractual specifics would be available in the contract attachment referenced in the agenda packet.
