Hunt County commissioners approve consent items, asset-forfeiture audit, behavioral-health interlocal and multiple road and plat actions

The Hunt County Commissioners Court voted on a package of routine and project items during its Nov. 12, 2025 meeting, approving an audit of a Chapter 59 asset forfeiture report, an interlocal behavioral-health agreement, budget and payroll actions, road upgrades and two replat approvals.

Commissioner Harrison (Precinct 4; serving as judge pro tem) opened the meeting and led the court through the agenda. Commissioner Smith reported the county has identified three candidates for the five-member evaluation committee for RFP 286-26, the Hunt County request for proposals for construction services for the I‑30 administration facility, and expects the remaining two committee seats to be filled before proposals are received.

The court approved routine consent items and several fiscal motions including accounts payable, line-item transfers, budget amendments and payroll and personnel matters by voice vote. Under attorney general guidance the court approved an internal audit request of the FY2025 Chapter 59 state asset forfeiture report for the Hunt County Constable’s Office, Precinct 4; no questions were raised before the court voted to authorize the audit.

The court also approved an interlocal agreement between North Texas Behavioral Health Authority and Hunt County (Captain Stroud was listed on the agenda). Commissioners approved a 2026 Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts authorization letter for HDL companies to keep on file, and authorized the sheriff’s office to process payment of a previously approved $2,500 donation to the Northeast Texas Child Abduction Response Team, with funds coming from the county crime control budget.

On public-works items the court approved a right-of-way permit for work along County Road 4109 (Precinct 4). It approved an item described in the transcript as an "upgrade of approximately 8500 and 60" but the transcript language for that measurement or location is unclear and the specific figure was not provided in the meeting record. The court approved oil-sanding approximately 2,956.8 feet of County Road 1128 in Precinct 1; Commissioner Money said oil-sanding now would reduce future maintenance and the motion passed.

Staff briefed the court that public improvements at Fanning Creek Meadows in Precinct 3 have been inspected and meet the county’s requirements; the court acknowledged a two-year warranty bond to cover the improvements and begin the warranty period. Brian (county staff) said, "everything looks good." The court also opened and closed public hearings on the replat of Lots 2 and 3 of Webb Acres (in Greenville’s ETJ) and Lot 75 of Countrywood, heard no public comment, and approved both replats.

Commissioner Harrison announced the court would move into executive session under the Texas Government Code to discuss the listed item; the court returned to open session at 10:26 and Harrison stated, "No further action, today." The meeting adjourned at 10:26.
