Grayson County commissioners enter executive session under state law, return with no action
Summary
Pursuant to Texas Government Code §§ 551.071 and 551.0712 the Grayson County Commissioners Court recessed into executive session at about 10:16 a.m. and returned at 10:38 a.m., announcing no action would be taken on matters discussed there.
The Grayson County Commissioners Court voted to enter executive session during its Nov. 18 meeting to consult with attorneys and discuss attorney‑client privileged matters under Texas Government Code sections 551.071 and 551.0712.
The court recessed to executive session at approximately 10:16 a.m., inviting county attorneys, the auditor and development‑services staff to join. The public meeting resumed at about 10:38 a.m., at which point the judge said there was no action to be taken on the items discussed in executive session. The court then reminded the public that the courthouse would be closed from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for an employee luncheon and adjourned the meeting.
Why it matters: Entry to and return from executive session are procedural steps that allow the court to consult privately with legal counsel; the judge’s public announcement that no action resulted is the required disclosure for matters discussed under the cited sections of the Texas Government Code.
