The Hunt County Commissioners Court held a regular session on June 27, 2025, where several key topics were discussed, primarily focusing on juvenile diversion programs and staffing needs within the court system.

The meeting began with a financial update, noting that the revenue for the month reached $79,004.34. This figure was compared to the revenue generated by other precincts, specifically mentioning Kerry Cruz's precinct, which also reported similar figures with fewer personnel.

A significant portion of the discussion centered on the implementation of new juvenile diversion requirements that became mandatory on January 1, 2025. The court's judge explained that since this mandate, every juvenile charged with a Class C violation is offered diversion immediately, provided the offense occurred before their seventeenth birthday. This process involves the criminal clerk working with the juvenile and their parents to develop a diversion plan, which must then be approved by the court.

The judge emphasized that the workload associated with these new requirements is expected to grow, as many cases from 2024 are still pending and will soon fall under the new guidelines. He noted the necessity for a dedicated staff member to manage these cases effectively, highlighting the increasing demands on the court system.

The meeting concluded with a recognition of the ongoing challenges faced by the court in adapting to these new requirements and the need for additional resources to ensure compliance and effective management of juvenile cases. The court plans to continue monitoring the situation and may seek further staffing solutions in future sessions.
