Denton County Commissioners Court

Denton County Commissioners Court meeting, Denton County, Texas, October 21, 2026. The court unanimously approved several funding and capital-related items. It authorized expansion of the Adult Drug Treatment Court to a second docket and accepted FY2027 specialty-court grants, including Governor’s grant No. 4423405 for $222,388.10 and a DWI Treatment Court grant, No. 5393602, for $234,637.70; the transcript also records approval of a mental-health treatment court grant, but its amount is unclear. The court approved a $1,664,140 budget amendment to fund the purchase of commercial property at 1512 East McKenna Street. It also approved resolutions related to county notes and refunding, which the judge said would support moving forward with additional elections equipment; the financing amounts were not clear in the transcript.

The court approved assigning Denton County’s proposed $40 million 2026 single-family private activity bond volume cap to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. The state agency described the program as supporting affordable mortgages and down-payment assistance for an estimated 132 county households, with an annual payment to the county of 4.75 basis points; this was an assignment of financing authority, not a direct county expenditure. Other approved items included an FY2026–27 interlocal agreement with Cook County for inmate housing and annual updates to a public improvement district service and assessment plan. No vendor selection or bid approval was identified.
