The record. The County Clerk posts the Court's agendas and signed minutes on the county's agendas and minutes page; the 28 minutes posted for September 8, 2025 through October 13, 2026 (all but January 26, 2026) and the agendas of the same span were read whole. The Court sits as County Judge Dale Spurgin and Commissioners Roy Spalding, Lonnie Vivian, Danny Collett and Joel Spraberry. No agenda item or minute in the year names veterans, a veterans service officer, a Veterans Day proclamation or juror donations. On September 14, 2026 (item 25) the Court adopted the 2027 budget on a polled unanimous vote; the budget carries no veterans department (see the office's entry). Government Code chapter 657's hiring preference for veterans applies to county jobs generally (see the Texas entry). No veteran benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed.
