The Hidalgo County Commissioners Court convened on September 2, 2025, to address several key issues, including the renaming of a county facility in honor of a long-serving public servant. The meeting began with a roll call to establish a quorum, followed by a moment of recognition for Marco Lopez, a veteran of the U.S. Army, who led the Pledge of Allegiance.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to honoring the late Judge Jesus Morales, who served as Justice of the Peace for Precinct 1, Place 2 for over three decades. The court unanimously approved a resolution to rename the Justice of the Peace office to the Jesus Morales Justice Court. This decision reflects the community's appreciation for Morales's dedication and service, as he was remembered for his integrity and commitment to the people of Hidalgo County.

The resolution highlighted Morales's contributions to the community and his legacy, which will now be preserved through the renamed facility. Family members of Judge Morales were present, expressing gratitude for the honor bestowed upon him.

In addition to the renaming, the court addressed various items on the consent agenda, with some items being pulled for further discussion. Commissioner Fuentes abstained from discussions on specific items, which were subsequently approved by the court.

The meeting concluded with a sense of community and remembrance, emphasizing the importance of public service and the impact of dedicated leaders in Hidalgo County. The court's actions not only honor past contributions but also set a precedent for recognizing the value of public service in the region.
