Liberty County commissioners meet in closed session on Arcimoto litigation, then vote to take no action

Liberty County Commissioners Court convened a special meeting at about 8:35 a.m. to consider matters related to cause no. 2020‑61765‑MDL, the Arcimoto Incorporated litigation pending in the 330th District Court of Harris County, Texas. Unidentified Speaker announced the agenda and that a quorum was present.

The court voted to move into a closed executive session for attorney consultation under Section 551.071 of the Texas Government Code. "We're going to go regarding this cause," the presiding speaker said when describing the intent to consult with counsel. Bruce moved to enter executive session; Greg seconded, and the court recessed after a voice vote recorded as "Aye." The record shows the court returned to open session at 9:05 a.m.

After the closed session, the court took a formal motion: Bruce moved that the court "take no action" on the litigation matter; Leon seconded. With no further discussion, the court called for a voice vote and the motion was approved. The court then approved a motion to adjourn, made by Bruce and seconded by Greg, and the special meeting ended.

The proceedings recorded on the public agenda were limited to the court's procedural steps; the substance of the executive‑session consultation was not disclosed in open session, consistent with the allowable scope of attorney‑client consultation under Section 551.071.

The meeting record lists Commissioner Karbowski and Commissioner Wilson among those present; other names recorded in the session include Mister Arthur, Leon, Bruce and Greg. No additional actions, votes with recorded tallies, or directives were announced in open session.
