Department:	County Court At Law #2

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to adjust and approve the Webb County Court-at-Law II Judges salary in compliance with Texas Government Code Section 25.0023.

Issue: Section (a-1) cites: The minimum salary prescribed by Subsection (a) that is to be based on the annual salary of a district judge under Section 659.012(b) becomes effective on the first day of the county's fiscal year following the date the statutory county court judge accrues the years of service required for an increase in salary under Subsection (a). The following sections sets the maximum: (a-2) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), the maximum annual salary of a statutory county court judge is $1,000 less than the sum of the maximum combined annual salary from all state and county sources paid to a district judge entitled to a salary under Section 659.012(b)(2) and any longevity pay received by a district judge in accordance with Section 659.0445(d).

Solution: Applying both, the minimum salary on October 2021 is $171,00 (plus any supplement) and the maximum on the pay period after April 13, 2021 is $171,000 (plus longevity). Commissioner's Court, therefore, has the authority to set the salary and approve it effective the pay period after April 13, 2021.

Result: Compliance with statute and code.
