Summary
The commissioners approved the official bond for Justice of the Peace for Precinct 2 and noted the swearing-in will occur separately because it was not on the agenda; the new/continuing official thanked the court and pledged to serve.
Washington County Commissioners Court voted Tuesday to approve the official bond for the Justice of the Peace for Precinct 2.
A court member moved to approve the bond and the motion was seconded. The court then voted by voice and the motion carried.
Court members asked the newly recognized official to make remarks and noted long years of service, with a comment in the record referencing "30 years." The official, identified in the transcript as Mr. Small, said he appreciated the court's confidence and would do his best to serve in the position.
County staff noted they could not perform the swearing-in at that moment because the oath was not on the agenda; they said the swearing-in would take place separately.
No roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.
