Two public hearings on the county budget and the proposed tax rate were approved by the Commissioners’ Court Monday. Commissioners at the recommendation of County Judge Carl Thibodeaux approved using .5440 as the proposed rate for next year, which is the same as last year’s tax rate. The dates of the two public hearings in September were also recommended by Judge Thibodeaux as Monday, September 8, at 1 PM and Monday, September 15, at 6 PM. He said this will satisfy the Texas statutes dealing with truth in taxation and still allow the Commissioners’ Court to vote on the tax rate on the 22nd. September 22 is the target date set by Thibodeaux for approval of the new budget and tax rate.
