Grayson County commissioners met in a regular session that opened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance and then moved through a series of routine motions approving budgets, bonds, an audit, and a short county-road closure.

The board voted to approve the minutes from the previous meeting and then approved payment of bills, the treasurer’s budget transfers and monthly settlement. The commissioners approved several bonds, including the occupational tax administrator’s bond, the emergency management bond and the clerk’s bond. The jailers’ budget transfers and jailers’ payment of bills were approved, as were shared sheriff settlements and a sheriff’s amended 2025 budget.

The board approved the sheriff’s 2026 budget and an annual order setting maximum amounts for deputies and assistants. Commissioners also approved the sheriff’s 2026 bond and related advancements. The Grayson County Clerk’s audit for Dec. 31, 2024 was accepted. The board approved names submitted to serve as replacement trustees for the Grayson County Hospital District and approved the Grayson County Tourism Commission’s amended budget for the year ending June 30, 2026. The county clerk’s amended 2025 budget, the clerk’s 2026 budget and the clerk’s annual order setting maximums for deputies and assistants were also approved.

In a distinct action, the board voted to discontinue and revert the final segment of Tunstall Road (transcript shows 0.123 miles; there is a later reference in the record to 0.23 miles) to private property at the property owners’ request after staff described a meeting with owners and site measurements.

The commissioners also approved payment of a late invoice for supplies for a new DMS office: an invoice to Backyard Building Supply for $7,717.45 for metal and related work. After public comment and the remainder of business, the board adjourned.

Why it matters: These routine approvals set fiscal and administrative rules for Grayson County for the coming year, authorize bonds and accept an audit that closes out the county clerk’s fiscal reporting for 2024. The road closure transfers a small, county-maintained segment back to private ownership at the property owners’ request. The late invoice clears payment for a county construction project.

What the record shows and what is unclear: The transcript records motions, seconds and voice approvals for each item but includes several transcription inconsistencies (names and exact mile figures) that the minutes or official clerk’s records should confirm. The audio record shows routine unanimous or voice approvals; no roll-call tallies with member names and their individual votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
