Hunt County authorizes breach-of-contract filing related to Tyler Technology and extends burn ban

After returning from executive session, the Hunt County Commissioners Court on Feb. 10, 2026, authorized county counsel to file a breach-of-contract notice related to Tyler Technology and asked staff to send a formal letter, and separately announced an extension of the county’s burn ban for continuing public-safety reasons.

Judge Stovall said the court would "approve Daniel Ray's office to file a breach of contract against Tyler Technology" and direct a letter to be sent; a motion to authorize that action was moved, seconded and carried. The transcript records the court’s authorization but does not include the substance of the executive-session discussion leading to the motion.

On public-safety, county fire leadership described recent large wildland fires and urged the court to keep the burn ban in place. A fire-service representative said the public should understand that dead winter grasses and an upcoming warm spell increase wildfire risk and asked residents to comply; he noted an 84-acre illegal-burn fire near Wolf City in the previous days as an example of current risk. The court announced it was extending the burn ban and urged residents not to burn brush or trash and to report illegal burns to the sheriff’s office.

The breach authorization directs counsel to proceed with filing; the transcript does not include details of the alleged contract breach or the specific legal grounds. The burn-ban extension was announced as an administrative safety measure; the court requested continued coordination between chiefs, the fire marshal and county staff and encouraged public reporting of suspected illegal burns to law enforcement.
