Commissioners discuss switching delinquent tax collection law firm; no decision
Summary
County officials and several local residents urged the court to consider replacing Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP for delinquent tax collections; the court requested more information and took no action.
Brewster County Commissioners discussed the county's contract with the delinquent tax collection firm Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP on March 11. Judge Greg P. Henington opened the item and the court heard comments from Sheriff Ronny Dodson, District Clerk Sarah Martinez and property owner Tom Jacobs, each expressing support for changing firms.
The court reviewed options for contract language and how the county's contract is written and asked staff to provide additional information at a future meeting. No motion or vote to change the firm was taken at the meeting.
Why it matters: Delinquent tax collection affects county revenue flow and property owners; potential changes to the contract could alter collection practices or vendor costs. Commissioners did not make a decision and recorded only a discussion and a request for further information.
