The Hays County Commissioners Court meets on Tuesday with a packed agenda. Upon its extensive list of topics, the court is scheduled to continue the discussion and take possible action regarding Hays County s multi-year Improvement Grant Program application to the Texas Indigent Defense Commission (TIDC) for public defender services.
Previously, the commissioners court unanimously voted to pursue the grant in order to fund a three-pronged justice system reform including a Pretrial Services Department, Public Defender Office and a Managed Assigned Counsel program.
In April, Hays County submitted the grant application to the TIDC. Since then, the county has not been awarded any funds at this time.
