Parker County justice bond election slated Nov. 4

Parker County commissioners voted unanimously Monday, Sept. 8, to approve two resolutions to use county assets to help partially pay for debt incurred by a bond proposal county voters will decide Nov. 4, according to a press release issued by the Parker County District Attorney’s Office.

On August 18, Parker County commissioners voted unanimously to submit two proposals to voters. Proposition A would fund a $104.7 million expansion of the Parker County Jail. The proposal would include 336 beds built immediately as well as shell space, which could be completed later, to add an additional 384 beds. The current jail has space for 483 inmates.
