Brewster County comptroller warns of two-week pause in check-writing during accounting software transition
Summary
County Comptroller Malynda Richardson told the Commissioners Court the county expects a two-week interval between April 22 and May 6 when no checks will be cut because of an accounting software transition; the court was notified and approved a related budget amendment for an attorney invoice.
County Comptroller Malynda Richardson told the Brewster County Commissioners Court on March 25 that the county will undergo an accounting software transition that will require a temporary pause in issuing checks for about two weeks. The period was described as expected to fall between April 22 and May 6; the court received the notification for planning purposes.
At the same meeting, Comptroller Richardson presented general bills and a budget amendment to cover a $39,650.64 invoice from attorney Shane O'Neal for work related to the 394th District Court. Judge Greg P. Henington moved to approve the budget amendment, and the court recorded a motion to approve the general bills and the amendment; the minutes show the motion passed on a recorded vote (5-0).
The comptroller’s announcement affects county vendors and departments that receive payments from county accounts during the transition window. The court did not adopt a specific contingency payment plan during the meeting; departments and vendors were advised to plan for the stated two-week period without check issuance.
Comptroller Richardson’s notice and the approved budget amendment were both part of the court’s regular financial business for March 25, 2025.
