Harris County District Attorney's Office is asking Commissioners Court to approve a grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice. The grant is for the FY26 Special Attorneys Grant Program and would bring in $1,500,000. No matching funds are required from the county. The item was introduced on May 15, 2026, and passed on May 28, 2026.
Harris County's District Attorney wants to apply for $1.5 million in federal money. If approved, those funds would support the DA's office. County residents pay for the DA's office, so outside funding can affect how it operates.
