Summary
Commissioners adopted a resolution supporting an FY26 Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant application to continue a victim‑witness assistant position in the district attorney's office; the grant requires an $11,180.56 local match (roughly 20%).
Tom Green County Commissioners Court on Feb. 11 adopted a resolution supporting the county's application for FY26 Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding to continue a victim‑witness assistant position in the district attorney's office.
DA's office representative Courtney Snyder explained the position's role is to maintain communications with crime victims throughout the judicial process to reduce delays in plea or trial proceedings when victims move or lose contact. Staff said the grant carries an $11,180.56 match (reported at roughly 20%), with the remainder to be funded through grant sources and local matching requirements.
The court approved the resolution by voice vote and directed staff to proceed with the application for continuation funding.
