Request for approval of an Order authorizing legal action and litigation expenses in connection with various cases including those in various County and District Courts and U.S. District Court.

Harris County Commissioners Court is being asked to approve an order allowing county attorneys to move forward with legal action and pay litigation expenses across several active cases in County Courts, District Courts, and U.S. District Court. County attorneys cannot take formal legal steps or spend on litigation without this approval. The meeting is scheduled for July 30, 2026. Residents can register to speak or submit written comments at appearancerequest.harriscountytx.gov.

Harris County wants court approval to file lawsuits or defend cases using county funds. Taxpayer money pays litigation costs, and case outcomes can affect county policies or finances.
