The Grayson County Regular Meeting held on October 7, 2025, featured significant announcements and routine business, including the approval of bills and the consent agenda.

During the meeting, Art Clayton publicly announced his candidacy for the position of district judge for the 390th District Court, with the primary election scheduled for March 2026. Clayton, who has a 26-year career primarily as a prosecutor, highlighted his experience in handling serious criminal cases, including homicide and abuse cases. He also mentioned his involvement in local politics as a lifelong Republican and precinct chair, emphasizing his commitment to election integrity. Clayton invited the community to his official campaign announcement next Tuesday at noon on the courthouse steps, followed by a reception.

The meeting proceeded with the approval of minutes from the previous session, followed by a consent agenda that was unanimously approved without separate discussion.

In financial matters, the court authorized several payments, including over $50,000 to VR Systems for election-related services and equipment, and more than $55,000 for a new vehicle for Precinct 4. The total payments approved reflect ongoing investments in election infrastructure and local services.

Overall, the meeting underscored both the political landscape in Grayson County with Clayton's announcement and the court's commitment to managing local governance efficiently through routine approvals.
