Texas counties can post meeting notices electronically
Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas county clerks can post official notices, including commissioners court agendas, electronically instead of on paper. County bodies must post each meeting notice on a courthouse bulletin board convenient to the public or an authorized electronic display. Display devices must meet existing location, timing, and public access rules. Notices on a county’s public website must meet existing timing rules. Notices posted before September 1, 2025, remain under the earlier law.
