Fort Bend County Advances Sustainable Judicial Strategy, Taxpayer Savings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Bobby Eberle 346-886-3315

08/28/2026

Commissioners Court maintains five associate judges while County pursues long-term strategy of adding state district courts

RICHMOND, TX — Fort Bend County Commissioners Court has approved a transition from eight to five funded associate judge positions for Fiscal Year 2027, a move expected to save County taxpayers nearly half a million dollars per year while maintaining judicial capacity and creating a more sustainable approach to the needs of a growing court system.

The action does not eliminate Fort Bend County’s associate judge program.  Five associate judge positions will remain funded in Fiscal Year 2027, while funding for the other three positions will continue through December 31, 2026, providing a transition period before the new staffing level takes full effect.

The decision comes as Fort Bend County’s judicial system enters a new phase.  This year, the Texas Legislature added the 501st and 502nd District Courts, expanding the County’s permanent judicial capacity.  Unlike associate judge positions funded locally by Fort Bend County, the base salaries of state district judges are paid by the State of Texas, allowing the state to share in the cost of providing the judicial resources Fort Bend County requires.

“Fort Bend County is growing, and our judicial system has to grow with it,” Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong said.  “The question is not whether we provide the courts and judicial capacity our residents need... it is how we do that in the most effective and responsible way possible.  By transitioning toward additional district courts that receive state support, we can strengthen our justice system while being more responsible with local taxpayer dollars.”

Associate judges have played an important role in helping Fort Bend County manage increasing caseloads, particularly during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. Federal American Rescue Plan Act funding was used to expand associate judge capacity as the County addressed court backlogs.  Those federal dollars were temporary, and the County has since assumed the ongoing local cost of that expanded capacity.

“Associate judges helped Fort Bend County meet a real need, particularly when temporary federal funding was available to expand judicial capacity,” said Bobby Eberle, Communications Director for Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong.  “But temporary solutions should not automatically become permanent expenses for local taxpayers when there is a better long-term path. With two new district courts already added and more being pursued, Fort Bend County has an opportunity to build that capacity in a more sustainable way.”

The transition reflects a broader strategy for meeting Fort Bend County’s long-term judicial needs. Fort Bend County will advocate during the upcoming legislative session for additional state district courts, which provide permanent judicial capacity while sharing certain costs with the State of Texas.  The County remains responsible for local court operations, but the state-funded salary of a district judge reduces the cost borne entirely by local taxpayers.

“This is about being responsible with taxpayer dollars without sacrificing access to justice,” County Judge Wong said.  “We have added two new district courts, and we intend to make the case for additional courts in the next legislative session.  Fort Bend County needs more judicial capacity as we grow, and we should build that capacity in a way that is sustainable for the taxpayers who fund it.”

Fort Bend County’s long-term approach is focused on maintaining access to justice, increasing permanent judicial capacity, and ensuring that the responsibility for funding a growing court system is appropriately shared between local taxpayers and the State of Texas

Fort Bend County Takes Action to Strengthen Impartial, Efficient Legal Services

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Commissioners Court approves new structure designed to keep county business moving and ensure timely, professional legal support

RICHMOND, TX — Fort Bend County Commissioners Court today approved the creation of a Legal Department – Civil Division, establishing a dedicated structure for providing non-litigation civil legal services to the county.

The action is designed to ensure that the day-to-day legal needs of Fort Bend County are handled professionally, impartially, efficiently, and in a timely manner... regardless of political disagreements or disputes among elected officials.

“This is a win for Fort Bend County and, most importantly, for the people we serve,” Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong said.  “County government has a responsibility to keep working. Departments need answers.  Projects need to move forward. Taxpayer business cannot grind to a halt because of politics.”

The creation of the new Civil Division is intended to ensure Fort Bend County has consistent, professional, and responsive legal support for the non-litigation civil matters that are part of the county’s day-to-day business.  It provides a dedicated path for addressing those legal needs so county departments and officials can continue serving the public efficiently and without unnecessary delay.

The measure does not eliminate the Office of the County Attorney or the statutory duties assigned to that elected office.  Instead, it establishes a structure for handling non-litigation legal matters necessary to conduct the county’s business while preserving the County Attorney’s responsibilities established by state law.

“This is about good government,” County Judge Wong said.  “Legal advice to the County should be professional and based on the law... not politics. County departments and elected officials should be able to obtain timely legal guidance so they can do their jobs and serve the public.”

The new structure is also intended to provide greater accountability and predictability in the delivery of legal services across county government.  As one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, Fort Bend County increasingly handles complex contracts, projects, policies, intergovernmental agreements, procurement matters, and other legal issues that require consistent and responsive counsel.

“Fort Bend County has too much important work ahead of us to allow political disagreements to interfere with basic county operations,” County Judge Wong said.  “Today’s action puts the focus where it belongs... on doing the people’s business efficiently, professionally, and responsibly.”

The creation of the Civil Division establishes a long-term framework for delivering county legal services with an emphasis on professionalism, impartiality, efficiency, and timely response.  The goal is straightforward: ensure Fort Bend County’s legal needs are met and the work of county government continues without unnecessary delay or political interference.

County Judge Wong Announces Major Rail Safety Investment Benefiting Fort Bend County

08/19/2026

Richmond, TX – Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong today announced that long-sought improvements to rail crossings along Highway 90A in Sugar Land are moving forward as part of a major $755 million federal transportation investment awarded to the Texas Department of Transportation..

The funding will advance 12 rail-grade separation projects across Texas, including improvements benefiting Fort Bend County residents traveling through the Highway 90A corridor. The projects are designed to separate roadway traffic from rail traffic, improving safety and mobility while reducing delays caused by trains blocking heavily traveled intersections.

“This is exactly what government should be doing... working together at the local, state and federal levels to solve real problems that affect people every day,” County Judge Wong said. “For Fort Bend County residents, this means working toward safer crossings, less time sitting in traffic and better access for emergency vehicles. I am especially grateful to Commissioner Andy Meyers for his persistence and leadership on this issue. He has worked on these challenges for years, and I am proud that we have been able to work together to help move these solutions forward.”

Fort Bend County Precinct 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers has long advocated for improvements to railroad crossings along the Highway 90A corridor, including the crossings at Dairy Ashford Road and Eldridge Road.

The issue is not new. For decades, residents and local officials have raised concerns about trains blocking traffic along the corridor, creating congestion and potentially delaying police, fire and emergency medical vehicles responding to calls.

“I've seen emergency vehicles forced to wait for trains to pass while traffic backs up, all waiting for crossings to reopen,” Commissioner Meyers said. “We need solutions that allow traffic to keep moving safely as trains pass through these intersections. This funding represents an important step toward making those solutions a reality.”

County Judge Wong credited Commissioner Meyers, the Fort Bend County Engineering Department, TxDOT, and federal transportation officials for the collaborative effort necessary to advance projects of this scale.

“This is what we mean when we talk about getting the job done for Fort Bend County,” County Judge Wong said. “These projects don't happen overnight. They require persistence, planning and partnerships. Commissioner Meyers has been persistent, our Engineering Department has done outstanding work, and together we are making sure Fort Bend County has a strong voice when critical transportation investments are being made.”

The $755 million federal award to TxDOT will support the design and construction of 12 rail-grade separation projects throughout Texas. Grade separations eliminate conflicts between roadway and rail traffic by physically separating the two, allowing vehicles and trains to move through an area without crossing at the same level.

The projects will be managed by TxDOT and will require additional planning, engineering, coordination and construction before completion.

“This is a major step forward, but there is still a lot of work ahead,” Commissioner Meyers said. “I look forward to continuing to work with County Judge Wong, our Engineering Department and TxDOT to move these projects forward and deliver the transportation improvements our residents have needed for years.”

The investment represents another important step toward addressing the transportation demands facing one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas. County Judge Wong and Commissioner Meyers said Fort Bend County will continue working with local, state and federal partners to advance critical infrastructure projects, improve mobility and ensure the County's transportation network keeps pace with continued growth.
