The Bexar County Commissioners Court meeting on March 25, 2025, highlighted significant collaborative efforts between Bexar County and the City of San Antonio, particularly in mental health and substance use initiatives. The meeting featured discussions on a successful joint program that has fostered a strong partnership between the two entities.

Dr. Claude Jacob, the Chief Mental Health Officer, emphasized the importance of collaboration in addressing issues such as substance use and domestic violence. He noted that the relationship between Bexar County and the City of San Antonio has been productive, with ongoing communication at both leadership and staff levels. The court recognized the city’s recent passage of a resolution to support this partnership, which is expected to be presented to the city council for approval soon.

Following this discussion, the court transitioned to other agenda items, including the approval of a statement of work for audit services with Clifton Larson Allen LLP.
