Commissioners approve $10 county clerk records‑archive fee

After a public hearing, the Coryell County Commissioners Court approved a $10 county clerk records‑archive fee to fund preservation and restoration services for county‑designated public records. The judge read relevant provisions of the Texas Local Government Code explaining that the county clerk may collect an archive fee not to exceed $10 when adopted as part of the county budget; the court subsequently voted to set the $10 fee (motion by Commissioner Matthews, second by Commissioner Basham).

The court recorded no public comments on the fee during the hearing. The county will add the fee to the clerk's records-archive fund as presented; implementation and collection will follow county procedures and the annual budget process.
