Department and office reports presented included tax and delinquent-collections totals, treasurer balances and an auditor budget summary. Highlights cited in reports: current collections for June 2025 of $256,765.89 for county entities (compared with $263,119.09 in June 2024), delinquent collections of $211,476.71 for June 2025 (up $15,524.73 from June 2024), and a general-fund ending balance reported by the treasurer of $5,871,831.81. The county auditor presented reconciled cash and fund summaries, including a transfer-station deficit of $217,003.39 and total outstanding debt of $11,723,016.
The court approved the county’s third-quarter investment report showing a certificates-of-deposit portfolio balance and quarterly interest earned; the treasurer said the report was prepared in compliance with the Texas Public Funds Investment Act and noted negotiations with Lone Star National Bank over CD renewals.
The court also approved donations for the food pantry in Precinct 3 and Precinct 4, and adopted budget amendments listed on the agenda (items 12 through 29). The court then recessed into executive session for personnel and benefits matters.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Starr County Commissioners Court 7/14/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Starr County commissioners received monthly financial reports for June 2025, approved the third-quarter investment report, accepted two food-pantry donations and adopted multiple budget amendments.","taxTitle","taxId",69599,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6152705,"Officials pursue certificates of obligation for courthouse loan; juvenile center property search continues",100,865000,965000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496823-f4d6b7f388b4ff88b799341c4661539e&start=865&end=965","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496823-f4d6b7f388b4ff88b799341c4661539e/thumbnail_865000.jpg","/articles/6152705/Starr-County/Texas/Officials-pursue-certificates-of-obligation-for-courthouse-loan-juvenile-center-property-search-continues","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152705-f8122a6e976a17583d4f57f78e09e364/orig.mp4?Expires=1770887682&Signature=Y8z~7y3GlbODdmAWPqC54bNYxV-EvQQWIipPSA9vzm54EiBT7pugfJ5F4Ix4h5FcD4svNCX0FdTxYdIKXq6uRon9reR32cRehvF~Xn5cejlOrGJfMeJgYhfE9YEhrti1NMiqXd6LsrykhdlURRkgQd8fLz5OMxWBXzDuj~qSxvCBGv9LYT8wm6LeQvMmbNcyIcBF1WiVamaF46LWZnT9IiXuCv8-UDtYxri1HVLNoEiVALBkO2ugXwWh7dZM~XSblc7CXurDPtwQQiFQDNLrHcKrsrhP2xf8tZTr1xaVlaKM9ClTvy4CdeW~nzAdIpP6ZvQtwGjeUfvsNCnsTznPeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Starr County officials reported July 14 that they met with a rating representative about certificates of obligation to finance courthouse work and expect follow-up before issuing the debt.
A county official said they had a call with “Mr. Gabriel Bobby” for a rating on the certificates of obligation and that a follow-up call was scheduled; officials said they expect to be ready to proceed with certificates by month-end but also mentioned August 28 as a potential date, reflecting an unresolved schedule.
Separately, the county said efforts to acquire a site for a juvenile center have stalled with one prospective property (A and S Farms) and that staff will expand the search. Officials said the facility needs roughly 5 acres ideally, though 3 acres could work, and the site must have water and sewer. The juvenile unit is planned as a standalone facility for juvenile officers, courts and programs; officials said proximity to the courthouse is desirable but not required.
No binding financing agreements or property purchases were finalized at the meeting; commissioners directed staff to continue negotiations and property searches.","County officials said they held creditor rating calls for certificates of obligation tied to a courthouse loan and continue looking for 3–5 acres with water and sewer for a standalone juvenile center after delays with a preferred property.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6152710,"Sheriff reports jail revenue decline and discusses bed capacity amid regional jail shifts",116,254000,370000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496823-f4d6b7f388b4ff88b799341c4661539e&start=254&end=370","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496823-f4d6b7f388b4ff88b799341c4661539e/thumbnail_254000.jpg","/articles/6152710/Starr-County/Texas/Sheriff-reports-jail-revenue-decline-and-discusses-bed-capacity-amid-regional-jail-shifts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152710-507cc4b14a058f0a03835828f0dae9c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770887682&Signature=gPwC4PK93e~fTWEx8x~aTf2HSv--jKvC8fvR3T-bk8WRafy8Rxtmwi7Cek3oKaILbgWXOt5EZEhNl8iLgISw-QppRoM~ShDm5Oh-4aVomKYqJt3elA638XZCAmpsxF4ivHyR8oBRt~PWl1oZK2SRy01~xtMIarrZ4BTrAGXIygAwoRtRz6iuXcx2V2kufufwWQw-S644aXb9ffGA0NtaUj81qLoy1qq8-HWkB2Xmzfi3t7W1~5u9Nl1AIx70ovaYa8~pKWEdWXxcTeocC8isuh7hkMym2SNjfda5JTF6tViXjPRZ~8Q0STajUdDg8~466E25RXeQWSfw8c~9UdSUTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the July 14 meeting, the Starr County sheriff's office reported total jail revenue for June 2025 of $225,406 and described shifts in regional inmate housing that reduced expected revenue compared with the prior year.
The sheriff's report listed contributions including medical services and housing fees; the office said the average daily federal inmate count was 97 and average Hidalgo County inmates were 15. On July 1, the reported population figures were 109 federal, 47 Hidalgo and 75 Starr County inmates for a combined total of 231 inmates. The office said the year-over-year revenue difference was negative $192,806 compared with the same time last year.
Sheriff's staff explained Hidalgo County now operates its own jail and has reduced placements in Starr County; Webb County has been asked to consider sending inmates and was negotiating a similar contract. The sheriff's office said the jail has roughly 300–325 beds and could accommodate about 50–80 additional inmates if needed.
Officials warned the change in placements will affect the county budget for the year and said they are tracking population and contract discussions with neighboring counties.","The sheriff's office reported June jail revenue of $225,406 and said Hidalgo County and Webb County housing arrangements have shifted inmate placements; the county estimates about 300–325 beds and says it could accept roughly 50–80 additional inmates.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6152714,"Court amends procurement policy to add subaward/subrecipient language required for OJJDP funding",62,1185000,1247000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496823-f4d6b7f388b4ff88b799341c4661539e&start=1185&end=1247","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496823-f4d6b7f388b4ff88b799341c4661539e/thumbnail_1185000.jpg","/articles/6152714/Starr-County/Texas/Court-amends-procurement-policy-to-add-subawardsubrecipient-language-required-for-OJJDP-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152714-e6e7cef89281bc9e92a69e4934067bc2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770887682&Signature=HtO2DAfR33OiiVGI7ZQjitX0bnYq7zN5jKwTu1jsJiX8vtmYzqMJ~cdM6qo~5PMjZIcuENNtdeieWxqRErbXTIPkDNAGOSnl8501apVE56HhPQAe96yxVUbWQUsqrp7kuj73VgtJ4sE5JUj0cAaycsPhk68OIe0lzk0hxPLitt319mL1D7BeoUhKDLqqtMXq857VNGAnssaVnOJutComuy8fY8bhabKCDkGxf9JG3Tpk6kk~h-enfpOLwRwuJ0fnlnvgbgSQEv3PE5DO610Pm8Pc2HMAdf9MqZlBJ1nbFta-o3UGd2wm5K4uqnMgm6q-TyzIlY2CioqfKff~anIoSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Starr County Commissioners Court on July 14 approved an amendment to the county purchasing policies to add language about subawards and subrecipients required to maintain federal OJJDP funding for the juvenile detention center.
