Titus County commissioners approve routine business, appoint reserve deputy constable and note property-fraud alert
Summary
At its May 26 special session the Titus County Commissioners Court unanimously approved minutes and routine financial and legal items, appointed Megan Yates as reserve deputy constable for Precinct 1, and the county clerk announced a new property-fraud alert system available to landowners.
The Titus County Commissioners Court met May 26 and unanimously approved a series of routine items, appointed a reserve deputy constable and recorded a county property-fraud alert system as a matter of record.
Actions and votes: The court approved the May 11, 2026 minutes on a motion by Commissioner Mitchell and a second from Commissioner Parchman. The court appointed Megan Yates as reserve deputy constable for Precinct 1; the record notes she was sworn in May 25, 2026 by Judge Steve Aan. Commissioners also approved a $5,000 bond for the county auditor (motion by Commissioner Parchman; second by Commissioner Apple), and approved the county's legal services contract (motion by Commissioner Mitchell; second by Commissioner Apple). All recorded votes carried unanimously.
The county clerk announced a property-fraud alert system is now live and available at no charge to property owners. The clerk said enrollment is required and can be completed by phone, text or email, and that notifications are generated when documents are filed in a property owner's name; the clerk also said the service is funded from deed-recording revenues rather than the county general fund. The court entered the notice as a matter of record and took no formal action on it during the session.
Other routine business approved unanimously included acceptance of oral and written reports from county officials, acceptance of the treasurer's report, and authorization of pay orders. No budget amendments were presented.
Direct quotations: On the appointment item the court recorded that "Megan Yates [was] sworn in on May the 25th, 2026 by Judge Steve Aan." The clerk described the fraud-alert enrollment process: "It takes less than a minute to do it," and said staff can assist sign-ups.
What’s next: The meeting adjourned at 9:24 a.m. The listed approvals were routine and no new county policies or budget changes were introduced at this session.
