Commission approves three tax-sale property sales; judge dissents on one
Summary
The Brooks County Commissioners Court approved three tax-sale property purchase offers March 12; one sale passed on a 4–1 vote with County Judge Eric Ramos recorded as the lone dissent, while the other two passed unanimously.
The commissioners voted on three offers to purchase tax-sale properties during the March 12 meeting in Falfurrias. An offer for Suit No. 11-05-01912-TX (Brooks County ISD v. Laurie Ortiz) passed on a 4–1 roll call, with County Judge Eric Ramos recorded as the sole dissenting vote. Two additional offers (Suit No. 17-01-02227-TAX, Brooks County ISD v. Lucy D. Bayarena; and Suit No. 21-03-02352-TAX, Brooks County ISD v. Ambrosio Olivarez) were approved unanimously.
County Auditor Eugenio Garcia's fiscal update provided context about tax collections as the court considered the sales: "collected another tax payment, brings us to 86%," he reported. The court did not provide extended public discussion on the individual sales beyond motions and roll-call votes; detailed sale documents are noted as "on file."
