Tuesday’s Hays County Commissioners Court meeting saw much discussion around the proposed multi-year Improvement Grant Program application to the Texas Indigent Defense Commission (TIDC) for public defender services.
“The TIDC grant application that the county submitted requires judicial support to get funding from TIDC,” Commissioner Lon Shell said.
Shell spoke of the significance of implementing a mental health court into the Hays County justice system.
“During the development of the grant application that we submitted and supported, this court and many of our stakeholders agreed that mental health was a prime concern,” Shell said.
Shell explained that while this is just one issue to tackle, it can help make strides of improvement throughout the justice system.
