Commissioners approve MOU to associate Sheriff's Office with U.S. Marshals fugitive task force

Kaufman County Commissioner's Court · August 25, 2026

Summary

The court authorized the sheriff to sign a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Marshals Service to associate the Sheriff's Office with a fugitive task force; the sheriff said no additional county staff are being added and legal reviewed the MOU.

The Kaufman County Commissioner's Court approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) associating the sheriff's office with the U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force.

"We've already had the employee in place, so we're not adding anybody," the sheriff told the court, explaining the MOU formalizes cooperation and provides access to additional marshals' resources. He added legal had reviewed the agreement and asked permission to sign it.

Why this matters: The MOU formalizes cooperation with a federal partner on fugitive apprehension and can expand access to resources without adding county personnel or recurring county payroll costs.
