Department:
Pre-Trial Services
Subject:
Discussion and possible action to approve a Resolution authorizing the submission of a grant application to the Texas Indigent Defense Commission for a 2nd year multi-year grant for budget year 2022-2023, Grant funding will further improve our indigent defense program. All necessary documents will be provided for consideration and to allow authorization to the county judge to act as the representative; and any other matters incident thereto.
Issue:
Webb County has implemented a weekend magistrate process at our jail. Pre-Trial Services Department has been delegated to take change of the manpower needed to support the operations at the front-end of the magistrate process during the weekend. This has hindered our office to provide adequate services to indigent clients and the Courts during normal business operations.
Solution:
Securing this 2nd year grant funding will offset the Webb County personnel expenses for a possible 3 years.
Result:
Securing this grant will allow Webb County to be in compliance with all local and state legislative mandates concerning indigent defense.
