ERATH COUNTY, Texas — Members of the Erath County Commissioner's Court said at the Aug. 15 special session that the county will post a proposed budget shortly and will schedule public hearings to consider the budget.

A court member told the bench the proposed budget will be posted "as soon as we get done" and that previously announced hearing dates might be tweaked; no specific dates or dollar totals were provided during the meeting. The remark came after the court returned from a closed executive session.

Why it matters: Posting a proposed budget begins the county's public process for review and comment. Court members indicated hearings will proceed but did not provide a final schedule or budget figures during the special session.

Action and next steps: The court took no formal budget action during the session; members said the proposed budget would be posted and hearings scheduled. No additional details, funding figures or deadlines were provided on the record.
