The court approved several items that affect county programs and operations.
Grants: The Office of the Attorney General continuation awards were accepted for FY‑27: $49,500 for the district attorney's office to cover salary and fringe for DA program work, and $79,466 for the Sheriff's Office OVAG victim‑assistance/crime‑intervention position. Staff noted both are continuation grants with no local match required and the sheriff's award exceeded the requested amount.
LexisNexis: The court approved the county treasurer's LexisNexis agreement (Agreement No. 1013129) for FY‑27 with a $200 monthly minimum bill. Staff explained the service supports indigent health‑care eligibility checks and court compliance verification and that combining department usage under one contract improves cost efficiency.
AgriLife Extension: The court approved the cooperative agreement with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service for Sept. 1, 2026–Aug. 31, 2031. The agreement continues a long‑standing partnership in which the county provides office space, supplies and local support while extension agents provide community education in agriculture, 4‑H and related areas.
Tyler Technologies: Acting on a matter from executive session, the court approved entering into contract services with Tyler Technologies as presented.
The court moved and passed each item with no recorded opposition in the transcript for these items.
