Commissioners approve application to claim unclaimed capital credits from state
Summary
The court authorized an application to the state comptroller to claim county‑eligible unclaimed capital credits from electric utilities and added a proviso that any received funds should have expenditures approved by the commissioners court.
The court considered an application process by which counties may claim unclaimed capital credits from electric utility providers through the state comptroller. Commissioner Matthews moved to approve filing the application and Commissioner Basham seconded. One commissioner asked staff to amend the motion to state that, if funds are received, any expenditures will be approved by the commissioners court; the court approved the application as presented.
The court did not specify an expected dollar amount for the claim; staff indicated the process originates at the state level and that the county must submit the required application to be eligible to collect any amounts identified by the comptroller’s office.
