Construction dispute mediation urged in Rockport by attorney George Baldwin

Mediation demands took center stage at the Aransas County Commissioners Court meeting on May 27, 2025, as a representative urged the county to engage in mediation regarding ongoing disputes. The call for mediation, which was previously ignored, emphasized the need for an experienced construction attorney mediator to resolve the issues effectively.

The representative proposed using George Baldwin, the mediator currently working with the city of Rockport on its city hall project, but also expressed openness to suggestions for other board-certified mediators in Texas construction law. The urgency of the request was clear, with a deadline set for the county to respond within ten days. Failure to respond would be interpreted as a refusal to mediate.

This push for mediation highlights the ongoing tensions and the need for resolution in the county's construction-related disputes. As the meeting progressed to other agenda items, the outcome of this mediation request remains a critical point for stakeholders involved. The county's response could significantly impact future collaborations and project developments in the area.
