Denton County Commissioners Court on Dec. 2 approved a slate of interlocal road agreements, technology purchases, zoning changes and personnel items in unanimous votes.

The court authorized additional professional-services funding for the US 377 North project with a total project increase of $19,632,049.98 and county authorization of up to $4,000,000 to come from a designated trip/line item. Commissioners also approved additional funding for the Straighter Road project and interlocal agreements for the HEB Connector (Spiritus Ranch Parkway) with Little Elm, Franklin Road in Carrollton and Hebron Parkway Segment 4 in Carrollton. Those interlocal approvals identified county contribution limits in the motions: Straighter Road (county funds not to exceed $1,974,905), Little Elm HEB connector (county contribution not to exceed $5,244,000), Franklin Road (county contribution not to exceed $3,250,000) and Hebron Parkway Segment 4 (county contribution not to exceed $6,375,000).

On procurement, the court approved a $1,504,652.32 purchase of storage equipment through a Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative contract and two renewals for security software and an Elastic Cloud security information and event management tool totaling $274,339.65. The court also authorized joining the Texas Association of Counties risk management pool for workers' compensation coverage beginning in 2026.

Land‑use matters were handled by public hearing and unanimous votes: two rezoning actions in the Lake Ray Roberts planning area and the Chisholm Ranch Estates replat were opened, no public speakers appeared on those items, and the court approved each application. The court also approved final plats for the Swafford Parcel addition and the G. Clark subdivision and accepted the Indian Trail Reconstruction Project as complete.

Other approvals included acceptance of the Denton County SART biennial report and related appointments, acceptance of $9,733 in grant funds from the Denton Benefit League for historic preservation, approval to participate in the 2026 State Indigent Defense Grant Program, and routine bill and payroll reports. Commissioners also approved creating grant‑funded drug court positions and proceeding with a countywide compensation study; county staff clarified those positions are contingent on grant funding.

All of the listed motions carried unanimously as recorded in open court.

The court recessed to executive session at 9:58 a.m. for matters including pending litigation and economic‑development negotiations; no public votes were taken in executive session.
