Starr County Commissioners Court 8/24/2026

The Starr County Commissioners Court held a regular meeting on August 24, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were addressed. Key actions included the approval of a contract appointing Dr. Wvasquez as the local health authority for two years, approval of a permit application for Windream Unity to bore fiber optic cable under Concistador Road, and the approval of a tax abatement for Amando Pena Jr. Investment Border Town. The court also approved a resolution related to road use and maintenance agreements involving La Morita Road and surrounding precincts. Additionally, the court approved budget amendments and accepted grants awarded from the Texas A&M Forest Service to the La Rosita Fire Department for equipment purchases, including a 5-ton cargo truck. Several motions passed unanimously, with one commissioner abstaining from a tax abatement vote. No new contracts or capital improvement projects beyond these were discussed.
