Summary

Commissioners approved a $114,532 Caseware subscription amendment and a monthly $10,498.95 Clear (Thomson Reuters/West) software amendment to expand tool access for added FCIC staff; both items funded from FCIC/TDLR appropriations, not county general funds.

The Smith County Commissioners Court on June 17 approved two subscription amendments for the Financial Crimes Intelligence Center (FCIC) to accommodate additional analysts and users authorized by recent legislative appropriations.

Mister Wilson told the court the Caseware subscription amendment increases the county's case-management software capacity at a one-time cost of $114,532; funds will come from FCIC (TDLR) appropriations, not county general funds. He said the amendment reflects growth in FCIC staffing.

The court also approved an amendment to the agreement with Thomson Reuters (doing business as West Publishing) for Clear Proflx (Clear) research software. The approved monthly payment is $10,498.95, also paid from FCIC/TDLR funds. Wilson said the increase is necessary because the FCIC hired additional employees per the legislative appropriation this session.

Commissioners recorded that no county general-fund dollars were used for these amendments; both actions passed on voice votes after motions and seconds.
