Val Verde County posted a quorum notice on July 13 warning that a majority of the Commissioners Court might gather from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Memos Restaurant, 804 E. Losoya St. in Del Rio. The county sent the alert through its civic alerts and news flash system and linked it to a document labeled Public-Notice-07-13-2026 and PUBLIC-QUORUM-07-13-2026.

The notice did not announce a vote or a new policy, but it did put residents on notice that commissioners could be together in a setting where county business might come up. Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code governs the Texas Open Meetings Act, and agenda posting changes took effect Sept. 1, 2025, including a 3-business-day agenda posting requirement.

The July 13 posting also pointed to a “Frontera Tour: Meet and ...” event in the document excerpt, though the notice itself did not say what county action, if any, would follow. It also did not identify what topics might be discussed or whether any formal action was expected.

That notice came just two days before the county’s July 15, 2026 Commissioners Court regular term meeting, scheduled for 9 a.m. at the Old County Court-At-Law Building, 207B E. Losoya Street in Del Rio. The agenda included item 2, to determine that a quorum is present, and the addendum listed discussion and possible action on border wall and/or vehicle barriers.

Val Verde County’s news flash archive shows the county has been posting commissioners court notices repeatedly in 2026, including April 22, June 17, July 1 and July 15.
