The Comal County Commissioners Court approved $1,692,070.59 in claims for March 19, 2026, and accepted a monthly tax collection report showing $14,245,806.59 in payments for February.
During the action agenda, Commissioner Hogg moved to approve claims totaling $1,692,070.59 (EFT $332,752.93; regular claims $1,359,317.66), a motion seconded by Commissioner Leacock and carried by the court.

The court also ratified acceptance of a Texas Comptroller award under Senate Bill 22 for the sheriff's office.

The sheriff noted past uses of similar funds included equipment purchases and salary assistance for eligible personnel.
The court approved several additional line-item transfers and budget amendments during the meeting to cover equipment purchases, contract amendments, and year-end accrual adjustments; county staff presented details for each transfer, and motions were adopted by voice vote.
The commissioners recessed to executive session later in the meeting and returned at 09:46 a.m. with no further public business.
The court's approvals and financial actions are effective as recorded in the court minutes; no votes to deny or table these items were reported.
