Denton County approves outside counsel in litigation involving NCTCOG
Summary
The commissioners unanimously approved retaining Hayesberry, White & Vanzant LLP to represent Denton County in litigation involving the North Central Texas Council of Governments and authorized the county judge to sign an employment contract; the transcript records a unanimous voice vote but does not list numeric tallies.
Denton County approved a motion to retain Hayesberry, White & Vanzant LLP to represent the county in litigation involving the North Central Texas Council of Governments. The court's agenda language stated the contract would be exempt from the Texas Local Government Code §262.023 requirement if applicable and authorized the Denton County judge to sign an employment contract.
The chair moved for approval and Commissioner Falconer seconded. The chair called for the vote, saying, "All in favor say I." The presiding officer recorded that the motion "carries unanimous," but the transcript does not provide a numeric roll-call or tally.
No further discussion or fee terms were recorded in the transcript. The item was presented as a contract-authorization action; the transcript records the motion, second and the unanimous voice approval but does not include details about the scope of representation, estimated costs, or contract duration. Those specifics should be available in the county's contracting files or subsequent published minutes.
