County accepts Texas Judicial Commission grant for court‑liaison pilot program
Summary
Tom Green County accepted a Texas Judicial Commission grant for the Court Liaison Pilot Program Cohort 2, including multi‑year funding tapering to 80% and 60% in years three and four, and authorized budget adoption.
Tom Green County Commissioners on July 28 voted to accept a grant award from the Texas Judicial Commission for the Court Liaison Pilot Program (cohort 2) and adopted the related budget.
Grant presenter Michelle (speaker 8) told the court the award extends beyond a two‑year base period, with the first two years fully funded by state dollars and step‑down funding in years three (80%) and four (60%).
