Wildfire Hazard Mitigation

Brown County is buying heavy mulching and shredding equipment for Precincts 1 and 3 using 100% reimbursable federal grant money from the Texas Forest Service. This gear will help clear brush and reduce wildfire risks locally without costing taxpayers extra.

What it means: Fully covered up to $1.3 million by a Texas Forest Service reimbursement grant.

Capital Defense Legal Services

The county settled past financial obligations with the Regional Public Defender's Office for capital murder defense cases, saving money and unlocking about $65,000 in withheld state grants. The court also renewed the annual partnership to ensure legal defense services are ready if needed.

What it means: Settlement payment offset savings of $21,403 plus access to $65,000 in grants; annual contract cost of $34,233.
