The Lubbock County Commissioners Court held a work session on June 24, 2025, focusing on budgetary concerns and operational updates from various departments. The meeting highlighted discussions surrounding the constable's office, technology budget allocations, and the management of court-related expenses.

The session began with a commendation for Constable Joe Pinson, who was praised for his compassionate approach and effective service in the court system. His performance has garnered positive feedback from both court attendees and clerks, emphasizing the importance of his role, especially with the anticipated increase in court sessions. The constable's responsibilities are expected to expand, necessitating additional support to manage the increased workload related to court bailiffing and civil processes.

A significant portion of the discussion centered on the technology budget. Concerns were raised regarding the lack of operating expenses allocated to this fund. The constable's office had previously redirected funds from the technology budget to cover overtime costs associated with catching up on outstanding warrants. Despite these reallocations, it was noted that there had been no additional spending in the past two years, and the office does not foresee needing extra funds in the upcoming fiscal year.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the need for careful budget management while ensuring that the constable's office is adequately supported to handle its growing responsibilities. The court plans to continue monitoring budgetary needs and operational efficiency as they move forward.
