Mason County schedules Aug. 15 special Commissioners Court meeting for budget workshop

The Mason County Commissioners Court published a notice scheduling a special meeting for 8:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15, 2025, to conduct "Budget Workshop 1" and hear judges' and commissioners' reports at the County Courthouse in Mason, Texas.

The notice, dated Aug. 11, 2025, includes a posting certification: "I, the undersigned, County Clerk, do hereby certify that the above Notice of Meeting ... was posted on the bulletin board at the Courthouse door of Mason County, Texas ... on the 11th day of August, 2025 said Notice remained so posted continuously for at least 72 hours preceding the scheduled time of said Meeting." That certification appears in the published notice and informs the public record that the meeting notice met the county's 72-hour posting requirement.

The posted agenda lists three items: Budget Workshop 1; Judge's and Commissioners' Reports — Items of Community Interest; and Adjournment. The notice also states the meeting will take place in the Commissioners Courtroom or the District Courtroom "(as space permits)" at the county courthouse.

The published notice cites Government Code, Chapter 551.101, as the statutory authority under which the commissioners may convene a closed session following an open meeting if the presiding officer publicly announces the closed meeting and identifies the statutory section or sections that authorize it. The notice includes contact information for Elizabeth Cano (elizabeth.cano@co.mason.tx.us, 325-347-5556) and records that the agenda was published on Aug. 11, 2025, at 3:23 p.m.

No deliberations, motions, votes, or public comments are recorded in the posted notice. The meeting notice functions as public notification of the scheduled workshop and the procedural steps the court took to post the agenda; any actions, decisions or substantive discussion will depend on what occurs at the Aug. 15 special meeting.
