The Houston County Commissioners Court voted unanimously on Feb. 24 to approve a resolution authorizing the county to apply for the SB 8 Sheriff Immigration Law Enforcement Grant Program administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
Commissioner Gene Stokes moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Gary Lovell seconded; the motion passed 5-0.
