Commissioners approve amended Securus contract after sheriff notes new FCC rates
Summary
The Midland County Commissioners’ Court unanimously approved an amended contract with Securus reflecting new FCC inmate-calling rates after Sheriff Criner told the court “the rates have changed.” The approval was moved by Commissioner Hall and seconded by Commissioner Villela.
The Midland County Commissioners’ Court approved an amended contract with Securus, the county’s inmate-telecommunications provider, after Sheriff Criner told the court “the rates have changed.” County Commissioner Charles Hall moved to approve the amendment and Commissioner Steven Villela seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Auditor Veronica Morales did not raise objections during the record; the court did not specify dollar figures or provide a contract number in the meeting backup. The action was described in the minutes as an amendment to reflect new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rates rather than a new pricing structure negotiated locally.
The court’s formal vote recorded all five members in favor. The county did not record further implementation details or an effective date for the amended contract at the meeting; those details were not specified in the minutes.
