After closed session, Tomball council reappoints associate judges and renews prosecutors’ contracts
Summary
Following an executive session under the Texas Open Meetings Act for real-property and personnel matters, the council approved two-year reappointments and contracts for associate judges, renewed the chief prosecutor Grant Stevens’s contract through Sept. 30, 2026, and confirmed an associate prosecutor appointment; votes were unanimous.
The Tomball City Council went into an executive session citing Texas Government Code (Title 5, chapter 551, sections 551.072 and 551.074) to discuss real-property and personnel matters, including appointments. After returning to open session, the council approved reappointments and two-year contract renewals for associate judges to the Tomball Municipal Court, with terms noted in the record as covering Aug. 7, 2025 through Aug. 6, 2027.
Thomas (a council/staff speaker in the record) described the associate-judge contracts as two-year renewals and sought a motion to approve; the council moved, seconded and the motion passed with the mayor announcing 5–0.
The council then approved a contract renewal for Chief Prosecutor Grant Stevens to cover the remainder of his term, with the renewed contract effective Oct. 1 and the term ending Sept. 30, 2026. "This is a contract to renew the chief prosecutor's contract for the remainder of his term," Thomas said. The motion to approve the renewal passed 5–0.
Finally, the council approved the appointment and concurrent two-year contract for an associate prosecutor; the meeting record shows the motion passed by a unanimous vote. Council adjourned at 8:04 p.m.
