    • As per state, the commissioners' court is required to invite the media and the public to attend a meeting where action may be taken in open court. It is therefore up to the resident's discretion whether they wish to attend in person or not. As with all meetings of the commissioners' court, the meeting can be watched remotely. The county has launched a specific page for today's meeting, which can be found here: https://hayscountytx.com/commissioners-court/court-video/.
