HENDERSON COUNTY, Texas — In a routine Nov. 26 session, the Henderson County Commissioners Court unanimously approved a slate of administrative and fiscal items, including casting the county’s votes for two Henderson County Appraisal District board nominees and signing several contracts and permits.
Under an official ballot cast under Texas Property Code Sec. 6.03, the county — which holds 1,129 votes — cast 564 votes each for Greg White and Charles Tidmore to serve on the appraisal-district board. The court recorded unanimous support for the slate.
Other actions the court approved include:
- Acceptance for filing only of Emergency Service District No. 5 financial audits for 2021–2023, completing an audit process ordered earlier by the court.

- Approval of a three-year contract with Mitra Tech for HotDoc services used in CPS case administration; the vendor price shown in discussion was $4,500 per year. (Court materials and backup include inconsistent vendor name spellings in the transcript; the item was introduced as "Mitra Tech." )
- Approval of two right-of-way agreements with Brightspeed to bore approximately 170 feet of underground fiber and conduit at two locations on East Waller Road in Precinct 1, and approval of a utility repair by Moore Station Water Supply Company at 8420 County Road 3418.
