San Jacinto County Commissioners Court Nov 12th 2026 9am

The San Jacinto County Commissioners Court met November 12, 2026. Procurement-related actions included unanimous approval to engage Leonard Schneider for legal review of a proposed development agreement; the court stated the developer would pay the legal fees. The court also approved applying for the annual TCEQ/Deep East Texas Council of Governments regional solid-waste grant for the county’s tire-recycling project and approved the supporting resolution, naming Commissioner Crystal Dominique to present the application. The court approved an application for the 2027 Texas Indigent Defense Commission Formula Grant Program. A request to buy ballistic plates using 287(g) funds was approved; the transcript cites 82 plates and an unclear cost (transcribed as “$38,89”).

The sheriff’s office discussed purchasing two fully equipped 2027 Chevrolet Tahoe police vehicles for $177,000 through the TIPS cooperative purchasing contract, citing aging vehicles and operational needs; the transcript does not clearly establish a final vote on that request. The court discussed a proposed development/PID arrangement involving developer-funded infrastructure and a fire-station site, but no agreement was approved; legal review and a future public-hearing process were discussed. The industrial permit policy was tabled. Other actions included approval of the 2026 final tax roll, board appointments, and the 2027 holiday and court schedules.
