Brazos County Commissioners Court convened a special called session on Dec. 30, 2025, and approved a set of routine departmental requests and financial actions affecting county operations and employees.

The meeting opened with a 30‑second moment of silence for Mary Hickman, identified in the record as the wife of Royce Hickman of the Chamber of Commerce. The court then proceeded through its agenda items and recorded votes on routine motions.

Most consequential among the items was agenda item 3, a Risk Management request for payment authorization to the Texas Association of Counties to cover the first seven months of property insurance. The agenda text cited $300,808, but when read for the record the amount was stated as $307,808; the amount as read on the record was confirmed during the meeting. Speaker 2 moved approval and Speaker 1 seconded; the court voted in favor.

Other approved items included Human Resources’ request (agenda item 2) to accept vendor‑donated prizes from the Nov. 20, 2025 benefits fair for an employee raffle; an Information Technology request (agenda item 4) to raise Amanda Adams’s credit‑card limit from $10,000 to $15,000; approval of a personnel change of status (agenda item 5); fiscal year 2526 budget amendment 7.01 (agenda item 6); and payment of claims (agenda item 7). Each motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote ('Aye'; 'The ayes have it').

A brief clarification occurred during the IT item when Speaker 2 asked about the card brand. Speaker 1 said, "It is not a Diners Club card anymore... So strike Diner's Club please" and confirmed the card is a MasterCard before the motion passed.

The court closed with holiday remarks and adjourned the special called session at 9:08 a.m.
