No one from the public commented at the various DeWitt County Commissioners Court public hearings on Monday, but nonprofit groups praised area businesses and residents as generous donors. Thus ended the 2025 county budget and tax process after commissioners formally approved them.
The agenda listed public hearings on the proposed county budget, the tax rate, the county clerkâs archives and a sign on Old San Antonio Road. Though several observers sat in on the meeting and looked over handouts from Judge Daryl Fowler, no one had questions or comments. The budget and tax handouts will be available on the county website.
Fowler first called on representatives from SJRC Belong to hear a presentation regarding their organization, which since 2019 has provided child protective services for Region 8, a large swath of southeast Texas.
