The Fort Bend County Commissioners Court will hold a regular session on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the Second Floor of the Fort Bend County Courthouse, 401 Jackson Street in Richmond.
The meeting will include several public hearings on road planning modifications. The court will consider changes to the Major Thoroughfare Plan for three new development areas: Heritage Bend (Precinct 1), Amandera (Precinct 1), and the Hand Tract (Precinct 3). Additionally, commissioners will review traffic control plans for nine residential and commercial projects across multiple precincts, including sections of Sienna, Monarch Landing, and Esperanza developments.
The court will also approve acceptance of several completed street projects, including those in Tamarron Parkway Phase 5 and Olympia Falls Section 4, and will release associated performance bonds totaling approximately $819,635.
Two grant awards will be considered: a $72,015 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant for the Auditor’s office and a $100,000 Texas Veteran’s Commission Mental Health Program grant for Health and Human Services. Both grants require no local match.
The agenda also includes various budget transfers totaling approximately $13,697 across county departments for equipment and supplies, including computer monitors, keyboards, and mosquito control materials. Personnel-related items include approvals for out-of-state professional training for law enforcement and county officials.
