Commissioners Court Agenda - Jun 3, 2026

Precinct 4 has pushed seven times for six new LED lights along the county's busiest road, especially at the duck pond. Neighbors showed up to support it, but the full package failed over a dispute about whether the county should light Commissioner Flores' own subdivision. One light at the duck pond crossing did pass unanimously.
