Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Waller County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Senior meal delivery funding
After federal cuts threatened Meals on Wheels service levels, the county committed $15,000 over five years to keep hot meals and wellness checks coming to homebound seniors.
In-car video systems for deputies and constables
The Sheriff's Office and three constable precincts would get the Rocket in-car video platform, a roughly $51,500 purchase aimed at equipping patrol vehicles with modern video recording.
Victim services expansion in the DA's office
One victim assistance coordinator currently handles about 1,200 victim contacts a quarter across two courts. Salary savings will fund a second coordinator and a civil paralegal.
Foster care caseload decline and CPS policy changes
Legislative changes now require kids be in immediate danger before CPS can remove them, so caseloads fell from 63 children in 2019 to 14 — but the remaining cases are more severe. Officials urged residents to speak up and report concerns.
