Bandera County court approves petition to create Emergency Services District No. 2, places measure on November ballot

The Bandera County Commissioners' Court voted 4-0 on March 27 to approve a petition to create Bandera County Emergency Services District No. 2 (Lakehills) and to place the proposition on the November 2026 ballot. The action occurred during a special meeting held at the Lakehills Community Center.

James MacMillan presented information to the court about the proposed Emergency Services District No. 2, described in the record as the Lakehills district. The transcript notes that members of the public provided comments on the proposal; individual public commenters are not identified in the record.

Commissioner Robert Harris moved to approve the petition and to place the measure on the November 2026 ballot; Commissioner Troy Konvicka seconded the motion. The court recorded a 4-0 vote in favor of the motion: Judge Richard A. Evans, Commissioner Konvicka, Commissioner Harris and Commissioner Jack U. Moseley voted yes. Commissioner Jordan Rutherford was noted as absent.

There were no further actions recorded on the agenda. With no additional business, Commissioner Harris moved to adjourn, Commissioner Konvicka seconded, and the court voted unanimously to adjourn the special meeting.

The petition’s approval by the commissioners sends the question of creating Bandera County Emergency Services District No. 2 to voters in November 2026; the transcript does not specify further details of the district’s boundaries, taxing authority, specific services, or implementation timeline.
