The court reviewed updated budget figures showing an $845,000 deficit, discussed using reallocated one‑time funds (including money set aside for a community center), borrowing and possible tax‑rate increases, and emphasized the need for a current audit before final decisions.

During the June 23 meeting commissioners reviewed May financials and were told court-appointed attorney and trial-related expenses have pushed legal-fees lines approximately $130,000 over budget; commissioners also discussed vehicle replacements for the sheriff’s office and inmate transfer timing to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
