Atascosa County Commissioners approved hiring a new patrol deputy at a Tier 2 pay rate of $27.70 per hour and a $120 uniform allowance, the court was told.
The court heard that the position is 86 hours (fluctuating), that the hire is eligible for Senate Bill 22 supplemental pay, and that the appointment includes a 90-day county probation and a one-year agency probation. The sheriff’s office reported that physical and drug tests for the new hire are complete and the start date is Sept. 4, 2025.
The sheriff (unnamed) described the hire as “my last empty spot on patrol,” and said authorizing this candidate would bring patrol staffing to full strength. Commissioner Pavelic made the motion to approve the hire; Commissioner Bowen seconded. The presiding officer announced, “All those in favor? Motion carries with 3.”
No public comment or further discussion was recorded on the item. The court did not provide further details about the candidate’s name or prior assignments during the open session.
