Register highlights several single disbursements above $100,000, including a $505,268.55 check
Summary
Beyond payroll and transfers, the report records single checks exceeding $100,000 across different pages — the register shows checks for $100,000; $250,000; and $505,268.55 among other large entries.
Hidalgo County's register contains multiple individual check entries exceeding $100,000. Examples directly printed in the line items include a $100,000.00 check (listed in the 152xx/153xx range), a $250,000.00 check entry and a later listing of $505,268.55. The file's line-by-line export associates each dollar amount with a check number and date.
These large single disbursements appear alongside other multi-thousand and multi-hundred-thousand payments in the register but are not explained within the printed export. Identifying the purpose of each large payment requires cross-referencing the county's purchase orders, contracts or invoice backups.
Why it matters: single disbursements of this size are most likely to be associated with capital purchases, contract payments or settlements; they are therefore items auditors and reporters typically review for proper authorization and procurement compliance.
