Court authorizes civil referrals and approves $53,500 settlement after closed session
Summary
After a closed session, the Commissioner's Court directed the civil division to move forward on a pending case and approved a total settlement of $53,500 in another matter; actions occurred during the meeting's return to open session.
The court recessed into closed session under the Texas Government Code for attorney-client and other listed matters. Upon returning to open session, the court authorized the county district attorney's civil division to act on a case (Eloy Rubin Garcia II v. Hidalgo County) and approved a total settlement payment of $53,500 to resolve claims in the matter of Nina Dias and Jorge Lopez v. Hidalgo County, as presented by legal counsel.
The judge moved the motions and commissioners seconded; the court recorded the approvals. No further details about the claims were presented in open session; staff said the civil division would proceed consistent with the court's direction.
