Editor’s Note: The Texas Tribune is recapping the 2023 Texas Legislative Session in a series of articles.

Dear Editor,

It’s been a week since the special called meeting of the Hays County Commissioners Court. Since the special called meeting, a county employee of the Tax Assessor’s Collectors Office was arrested and booked on serious charges. Why have the commissioner’s been quiet on this issue? Shouldn’t there be discussions taking place on how the fraudulent activities occurred or a special audit being conducted on the Tax Assessor’s Collectors Office? If audits are done on county departments, why was the activity not caught during an annual audit? I would expect an auditor to recommend safeguards to avoid such activity.
