Issue: Webb County has implemented a weekend magistrate process at our jail. Pre-Trial Services Department has been delegated to take charge of the man-power needed to support the operations at the front-end magistration process during the weekend. This has hindered our office to provide adequate services during normal business operations.

Solution: Securing this 3rd year grant funding will offset the Webb County personnel expense.

Result: Securing this grant will allow Webb County to be in compliance with all local and state legislative mandates.

Background:

This will be the 3rd year that Webb County is awarded the funding.
