The county updated its development rules to handle state-mandated 30-day review deadlines by allowing staff to approve small plats and clarifying road standards.
Commissioners Court - May 12, 2026
The county refused to take over maintenance for two subdivisions because developers left behind serious problems like deep ditches without grass and concrete defects. This means the county won't have to spend taxpayer money fixing roads that builders failed to finish properly.
