Commissioners Court 11 10 2026

Washington County, Texas Commissioners Court meeting on November 10, 2026. The court authorized the Engineering and Development Services Department to solicit bids for its 2027 annual materials and services contracts, with bids due and to be opened December 3 at 9:00 a.m. The package covers contract mowing, culverts, bridge construction labor, fuel and oil, asphalt emulsion, road construction materials, tires, steel products, hauling, emergency debris and tree-limb removal, and reinforced concrete box culverts. The department anticipated possible price increases, including for diesel. A proposed 19-lot subdivision plat was tabled because required physical bonds were not yet in place. The court also approved the pending Washington County Expo rental regulations and authorized the judge to sign them.

The court approved purchasing 45 Taser CEWs from Axon Enterprise through BuyBoard cooperative contract 798-26 CEW, using SB22 grant funds. The stated price was $292,491; approval was contingent on the sheriff confirming the price comparison between a lump-sum payment and payments over five years. The court also approved accounts payable totaling $800,456.24, including $156,000 for Expo long-range planning and approximately $300,000 for monthly EMS expenses. No contract award for the annual bids was made at this meeting.
