Midland County keeps existing TCDRS plan for 2026
Summary
Commissioners approved keeping the county's Texas County & District Retirement System (TCDRS) contribution schedule for 2026 after staff presented alternative matching options; no change to Midland's 2:1 match was adopted.
The Midland County Commissioners Court on Dec. 2 voted to retain the county’s current TCDRS retirement plan contribution structure for 2026.
A staff presenter (speaker 12) reviewed optional plan changes that would alter future employer matching for new deposits — examples included moving from the current 2:1 match to alternatives such as 2.20:1 or 2.25:1 for deposits after Jan. 1, 2026. The presenter said any change would not increase the county’s current rate in the short term but would change the match applied to future deposits.
County leadership emphasized the issue had already been addressed in the budget adopted in the prior quarter, and the judge said the budget proposed by the court had kept the 2:1 match. When asked whether funds were available to increase the match, staff said the county was budgeted to remain at the 2:1 match for 2026.
Commissioner (speaker 8) moved to approve the current TCDRS plan for 2026; Commissioner (speaker 3) seconded and the court approved the motion by voice vote.
The record shows staff provided options but the court declined changes at this time, leaving the employer match for now at the existing 2:1 level.
