Under the agreements, the county could be responsible for covering up to $275,000 for each office if the grants are not awarded by Sept. 30, 2027.
According to agenda material, both applications were accepted as of early September 2026 but not yet approved.
The funding is provided through a bill supporting rural prosecutor salaries. Precinct 2 Commissioner Chuck Konderla said grant payments have been delayed for more than 250 counties across Texas, leaving Brazos County to temporarily cover the expenses.
