The Hidalgo County government meeting held on September 2, 2025, focused on key financial updates, particularly regarding judicial pay adjustments.

The meeting began with a discussion on the recent legislative changes impacting the judicial pay plan. It was noted that an increase of $510,000 has been allocated for the fiscal year 2026, in accordance with a statute that was recently passed. This adjustment reflects the county's commitment to comply with new legal requirements.

Officials clarified that since the law took effect on September 1, a prorated amount has been established for the current fiscal year. This ensures that the financial implications of the new statute are accounted for in the county's budget.

The meeting emphasized the importance of accurate financial planning and transparency, with officials committing to double-check the figures presented to ensure clarity and correctness in the allocation process.

Overall, the discussions highlighted the county's proactive approach to adapting to legislative changes and ensuring that judicial compensation aligns with state mandates. Further follow-up actions were planned to confirm the details of the financial allocations.
