Burnet County adopts Title VI nondiscrimination plan to maintain TxDOT grant eligibility
Summary
The Commissioners Court unanimously approved Burnet County’s Title VI/Nondiscrimination Statement, Assurances, and Plan to comply as a TxDOT grant subrecipient; Jackie Haynes was identified as the county Title VI Coordinator in the plan.
The Burnet County Commissioners Court approved the Title VI Compliance Nondiscrimination Statement, Title VI/Nondiscrimination Assurances, and the Title VI/Nondiscrimination Plan by unanimous vote on July 28, 2026. Jackie Haynes, who the plan identifies as the Title VI Coordinator responsible for implementation and complaint processing, spoke to the court before the vote.
The adopted plan references federal authorities including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 49 C.F.R. Part 21 and commits the county to periodic updates (every three years) and procedures for handling complaints. The plan outlines data collection, public‑engagement practices, and a complaint intake process that forwards Title VI complaints to TxDOT OCR and FHWA for investigation where appropriate.
