The Lubbock County Commissioners' Court meeting on July 28, 2025, focused on several key initiatives aimed at enhancing community services, particularly for veterans and families in need.

One of the primary discussions involved the approval of free mediation services for veterans, funded by a grant from the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC). The program, which began on July 1, seeks to provide essential support to veterans in Lubbock County. The court unanimously approved the motion to accept the grant, allowing the initiative to proceed.

Another significant topic was a grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice for funding supervised visitation and neutral exchange services. Currently, these services are financed through county funds, and the court is seeking federal support after being turned down by the governor's office. The motion to apply for the grant was also approved without opposition.

Additionally, the court discussed authorizing the county judge to sign interlocal cooperation agreements for medical examiner services for the upcoming year. This agreement will enable Lubbock County to provide post-mortem examination services to neighboring counties as needed. The motion to approve the template for these agreements was passed, with individual contracts to be addressed as requests arise.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the court's commitment to securing funding and resources to support vital community services, particularly for vulnerable populations such as veterans and families requiring supervised visitation.
