Court approves Williams family cemetery plat, applicant to file dedication after signatures
Loading...
Summary
Freestone County Commissioners approved a plat for a Williams family cemetery and instructed the applicant to obtain required signatures and submit the cemetery dedication and tax certificate to the county clerk for filing.
The Freestone County Commissioners Court voted to accept a plat for the Williams family cemetery and advised the applicant on next steps for filing the required dedication and tax paperwork.
Resident speakers who presented the plat said the submission includes a permanent egress statement tied to FM 3285 and a legal description referencing property corners. The applicant said family members Carolyn and Larry still need to sign the cemetery dedication and that the package will be brought to the county clerk for filing as soon as signatures are obtained.
Chair the court recorded a motion to accept the plat and the motion carried. Court members discussed that the county will require a judge's signature, a tax certificate, and the signed cemetery dedication before final filing. The court also noted the difference between county-level procedures and state requirements and confirmed staff will accept the filing package once complete.
The court added routine direction that applicants must pay filing fees and provide proof of water/fire availability where required before plats or replats are accepted for court action going forward. The court did not record a roll-call vote; the motion passed by voice vote.
