Coryell County authorizes participation in Purdue Pharma opioid settlement

The Coryell County Commissioners' Court voted on April 14, 2026, to authorize County Judge Roger Miller to execute settlement participation and release forms tied to settlement offers in the County of Coryell v. Purdue Pharma, Inc. multidistrict litigation. The action was adopted after a motion by Commissioner Scott Weddle and a second by Commissioner Kyle Matthews, following an executive session in which litigation was discussed.

The minutes reference the pending multi-district litigation (MDL) and list the cause number in the executive-session notice. The court’s open-session motion authorized execution of settlement participation and release forms; the minutes do not include a detailed settlement amount or a roll-call vote tally for the authorization.

The minutes contained a typographical error in one executive-session line spelling the defendant name; this article uses the corrected, commonly accepted spelling, Purdue Pharma.
