The Kaufman County Commissioners Court approved a series of deputations and contract assignments for Precinct 2 on April 7. Constable Johnson presented the requests, saying Lynn Poston currently works with the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office and has five years of service; the court approved deputation and assignment to a Windmill Farms patrol contract position after motions and oral votes.

The court approved Kirkpatrick’s deputation and confirmed his assignment to an already-created patrol position under the Devonshire contract. No alternate or negative votes were recorded on the motions reported in the transcript.

The constable described staff review steps (oral board and open review) and characterized both appointees as expected assets to the department. The court’s approvals were delivered by motion and carried with aye votes; detailed contract numbers or salary adjustments were not specified in the transcript.
