Summary
Midland County approved an MOU with Culberson County and created a new District Attorney position paid by Midland and reimbursed by Culberson County at an annual salary of $65,000 plus benefits.
MIDLAND, Texas — The Midland County Commissioners Court on April 1 approved a memorandum of understanding with Culberson County to provide prosecutorial services and created a new District Attorney position that Midland County will staff and Culberson will reimburse.
Under the agreement the new position’s base salary was stated on the record as $65,000 annually plus benefits. County staff indicated Culberson County will reimburse Midland County for the full cost of salary and personnel overhead; the court directed staff to finalize the exact overhead percentage in coordination with the treasurer before implementation.
District Attorney office leadership described the arrangement as recurring support for a neighboring county that currently lacks a dedicated prosecutor for misdemeanor cases. The court approved the MOU and concurrently authorized creation of the position, with the DA’s office to manage day-to-day supervision and Midland responsible for payroll and benefits until reimbursement is received.
Ending: Commissioners asked staff to return with finalized reimbursement language (overhead percentage) and directed payroll and benefit steps to be processed so the position can be posted and filled under the MOU terms.
