Hockley County Commissioners Court: the Veterans Office Moved and a New Officer Appointed

The record. The county posts each meeting's signed agenda with its orders and attachments on the Commissioners Court's Minutes page; the 45 packets of September 8, 2025 through October 19, 2026 (scans) were read, the shorter ones whole and the longer ones through their agenda and orders. The Court sits as County Judge Sharla Baldridge and Commissioners Alan Wisdom, Larry Carter, Seth Graf and Tommy Clevenger. Most meetings hear the monthly public assistance report from the office that also serves veterans. The items that name veterans: - June 15, 2026 (item 6): "approve relocating the Public Assistance Office/Veterans Assistance Office to 624 Ave. H, Suite104, also known as 911 Austin St." - July 20, 2026 (items 4 and 5): the resignation of Cara Phelan, "Hockley Public Assistance Officer and Veterans Service Officer, effective July 21, 2026", and the appointment of Jessica Martinez as "Public Assistance/Indigent Health Care Administrator, Wellness Coordinator and Veterans Service Officer". - August 24, 2026: the 2027 budget adopted unanimously, with $18,529 for Veterans' Services, including a $1,000 Veteran's Recognition Program (see the office's entry); the same meeting approved the 2027 county holidays, Veteran's Day among them. No packet names a Veterans Day proclamation, juror donations to veterans or a veterans grant. No veteran benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed on the record read.
