Comal County approves multiple specialty‑court grants, including mental health and felony drug court funding
Summary
The court accepted FY2026 grants: $28,610 for the mental health specialty court, a $103,213 award for the felony drug court, and authorized a veterans court grant application seeking $235,000; the court also approved a related letter of agreement for probation services.
Comal County Commissioners Court approved several actions related to specialty and veterans court funding on Nov. 20.
Judge Wigginton presented a $28,610 award under the FY2026 Specialty Courts Program through the Office of the Governor to support the county mental health court team; the court approved acceptance and authorized the county judge to sign electronically. The court later approved a $103,213 award to support the challenge felony drug court; Sandra Maggiani, felony drug court officer for Comal County adult probation, asked the court to accept the grant and a one‑year letter of agreement to continue program services. Separately, the court authorized submission of a veterans treatment court grant application to the Texas Veterans Commission increasing the request from $210,000 to $235,000 to provide COLA increases for staff and additional counseling services.
Each item was approved by motion and voice vote. Court members described these as routine but important funding steps to maintain specialty court programs and associated services, including transportation and testing costs covered by the awards.
