County Warns Possible Commissioners Court Quorum at Local Events

Val Verde County has formally notified residents that multiple members of the Commissioners Court may attend two community gatherings next week, and that no official business will be conducted while they are present. The notices were posted on December 1, 2025 via the county News Flash and as public notice documents on the Val Verde County Document Center, and each document bears a posted and filing stamp indicating placement on the county bulletin board.

The first notice covers the Val Verde County Christmas Party scheduled for Friday, December 5, 2025 from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM at The Enchanted Jardin, 4934 US 90 in Del Rio. The second applies to the Del Rio Chamber of Commerce Wildgame Dinner set for Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 5:00 PM to midnight at the Del Rio Civic Center, 1915 Veterans Boulevard. Both notices state that a quorum of the Commissioners Court may be present, and both are signed by County Judge Lewis G. Owens, Jr.

This type of public disclosure is a routine measure intended to preserve transparency under Texas open meetings expectations when multiple elected officials might attend public or community events. For local residents the practical message is straightforward. Attendees may encounter county commissioners at these social gatherings, but the notices make clear the Court will not take votes or conduct official proceedings at either location.

For residents seeking verification the notices are available on the Val Verde County Document Center as posted public notice documents, and the county bulletin board posting is reflected in the file stamps. The reports should reassure community members that county officials are observing public notice requirements while participating in local civic and social life. The events will proceed as scheduled, and residents who plan to attend can do so knowing the Commissioners Court presence will be informal and not for the conduct of county business.
