They ratified the renewal of a disaster debris removal services contract with CTC Disaster through December 15, 2026, with plans to go out for bids afterward. The court approved purchasing a Starlink communicator through Victor Security and ratified the purchase of laptop computers for the county clerk's office. A new lease agreement for the Tyler County fairgrounds and rodeo arena was amended to include a force majeure clause. Additionally, the court approved a contract between the Tyler County Tax Office and Auto Agent for escrow cloud services to streamline mortgage tax payments. Utility permits for fiber optic installation by Spectrum and other infrastructure projects were also approved.
