Maverick County court directs legal review for Precinct 2D constable request; approves office-plaza lease
Summary
The Maverick County Commissioners Court voted unanimously Jan. 30 to ask legal staff to study the steps required under state law to create a constable for Precinct 2D and to approve a lease for two suites at the Maverick County Office Plaza at 1152 Perry Street.
The Maverick County Commissioners Court voted unanimously on Jan. 30 to direct legal staff to review options under state law for creating a constable for Precinct 2D and to approve a lease for two suites at the Maverick County Office Plaza at 1152 Perry Street.
The action followed a closed executive session conducted under the Texas Government Code provisions cited on the record: section 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and section 551.072 (deliberations about real property). After the executive-session discussion, Commissioner Rios moved to authorize legal review of the constable request and to proceed with the lease matter; Commissioner Ramos seconded the lease motion and Commissioner Reese seconded the legal-review motion. Both motions passed by unanimous voice/hand vote, with no roll call recorded.
On the constable request (Item 51), the court approved a motion to have county legal staff “review the options that were discussed in executive session and to explore those opportunities” for residents who asked for a constable in the community referenced in the record as Elendio, Texas. The court’s action was a directive to seek legal guidance and report back; the court did not create the position or set a timeline for any follow-up at the meeting.
On the lease (Item 37), the court approved proceeding with a lease agreement between Maverick County and an entity referred to in the record as "the stack" for the rental of two suites at the Maverick County Office Plaza, 1152 Perry Street. The court authorized executing the lease once county legal staff finalize requested changes; the meeting record did not disclose financial terms or the lease start date.
Court business concluded with a unanimous motion to adjourn. The record shows the motions and approvals were made following executive-session deliberations and that the court asked staff/legal to return with findings or finalized documents for the two items.
