Honor late county judge, approve funds for health outreach program

The Hays County Commissioners Court began its regular meeting on Tuesday with a moment of silence in remembrance of former County Judge Bert Cobb, M.D., who died last week. 

The commissioners also took the time before discussing the agenda to say a few words in memoriam of Cobb and shared stories about the former county judge. 

“A really super-intelligent, caring but very interesting person who made a long-lasting impact I think in many different areas, not just here at the county,” Commissioner Lon Shell said. “We had some pretty funny times. He would often say things that got you laughing in tense moments, so I’ll always remember him for that.”
